CAUTION
When starting the engine after the tractor has been
out of use for some time, avoid using the hydraulic
system immediately, as all the moving parts need to
be lubricated properly before they are subjected to
full load, especially when the external temperature
approaches 0°C. Run the engine at 1300 --1500
speed for around 5 minutes to bring the oil in the rear
transmission up to working temperature.
CAUTION
Before accelerating or starting TD 70D, TD 90D and
TD 95D turbocharged tractor models, let the engine
idle at 1000 speed for 30 seconds to ensure that the
turbocharger is fully lubricated.
CAUTION
If one of the warning lights illuminates to signal a
fault, stop the engine and investigate the problem.
If the warning light continues to signal a fault, have
the machine checked by your authorised dealer.
CAUTION
To prevent separation of the paraffin components in
the diesel fuel, when the external temperature falls
below freezing -- leading to a reduction in fluidity and
consequent fuel supply problems (especially when
starting the engine), use only Winter grade diesel
or mix the diesel with a proprietary cold weather
additive in the proportions stated on the container.
Winter additive must be mixed with the diesel fuel
before there is any sign of paraffin separation; adding
it later will have no effect on an engine if the cold has
already caused the engine to stop running or prevent
it being started.
Put the additive in the tank first, followed by the diesel
fuel.
The additive will ensure that there is an optimum fuel
supply to the engine without reducing performance,
even when the external temperature drops below
--20_C.
STARTING THE TRACTOR
-- Press the clutch pedal and move the main gear
lever and creeper lever to the desired settings
(see pages 2--31, 2--33 and 2--36).
3--4
SECTION 3 - - FIELD OPERATIONS
-- Accelerate the engine as necessary.
-- Release the handbrake lever and engage the
clutch, releasing the pedal slowly.
WARNING
To extend the service life of the tyres and the
transmission components, it is advisable not to use
the tractor continuously at full power when working
at speeds of less than 7 km/h (4.35 mph), particularly
when the tractor is excessively ballasted.
It is not advisable to ballast the tractor too heavily
when towing heavy loads and travelling at low
speeds. Follow the instructions given in this chapter
on ballast and hitch components.
STOPPING THE TRACTOR
-- Reduce engine speed.
-- Depress the transmission clutch pedal and
brake.
With the tractor stationary, move the main shift and
range gear levers to neutral, release the clutch pedal
and engage the handbrake.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
CAUTION
On models TD 70D, TD 90D and TD 95D, before
stopping the engine, let it idle at 1000 speed for at
least three minutes.
-- Turn the ignition key to the STOP position (A)
