O - Operations to be made by the Dealer.
NOTE 1: Operations requiring a regular service every 10, 50 or 100 work hours may be carried out with flexibility. They may 
be therefore carried out according to ambient and work conditions and as often as suggested by your experience, at any 
rate within the above indicated maximum deadlines. Always remember, however, that it is better to carry them out once 
too often than not often enough.
NOTE 2: Check the tractor for leaks, rubbing, squeezed or cracked hoses, loose nuts or bolts and dirt build up. Repair all 
leaks, hoses and tighten loose fittings, nuts and bolts before operation.
NOTE 3: For values of driving torques and air pressure, see the Tyres, Wheels, Ballasting Section in this manual.
NOTE 4: After removing and fitting the wheels back again, it is important to check the torques of all bolts by means of a 
torque wrench at the following intervals: - First check after 10 work hours. - Second check after 50 work hours. - Third 
check and further checks every 500 work hours.
NOTE 5: Check for wear and function.
NOTE 6: In dusty conditions the cab filter will require more frequent cleaning.
NOTE 7: Also clean the filter element whenever the service indicator lights up.
NOTE 8: After prescribed hours of PTO use.
NOTE 9: In extreme work conditions, a daily greasing is recommended.
NOTE 10: 500 hours is the maximum tolerated frequency for oil changes. The oil must be changed more frequently (e.g. 
every 250 hours) if the tractor is used in heavy duty conditions. 
NOTE 11: Change the gearbox oil for the first time after 500 hours, then change it after every 1000 hours service (1000-
2000-3000 etc...)
NOTE 12: Wash the filter on the pump intakes and change the filter on the steering circuit delivery for the first time after 50 
hours. After this, repeat the same operations after every 250 hours service (i.e. 250-500-750-1000 hours…).
NOTE 13: During the running-in phase, the primary and secondary fuel filters should be changed for the first time after 50 
work hours. Afterwards, the cartridges of both the primary and secondary fuel filters should be changed at the intervals 
prescribed by the Routine Maintenance Table.

Maintenance

10 HOURS OR DAILY SERVICE

General tractor inspection

- Power steering cylinder hoses: the hoses must not be
pinched or cracked. The outer sheath must not be swollen
in any way and there must be no oil leaks between the
hoses and unions.

-  Hydraulic  circuits  tubes.  Check  for  leaks,  rubbing,
squeezed or damaged hoses, loose nuts or bolts and dirt
build up. Repair all leaks, hoses and tighten loose nuts/
bolts before operation.

- Parking brake lever: make sure that the ratchet locking
mechanism is secure and reliable.

- Check for loose nuts, bolts and components.

- Make sure that the wheel nuts are correctly torqued.

-  Check  to  make  sure  that  all  other  nuts  and  bolts  are
well tightened.

- Make sure that all shields and guards are in the correct
position.

CAUTION: If you need to open the bonnet, follow the procedure indicated under “How to open the bonnet”.
WARNING: Always use specific personal safety devices for each operation. 
WARNING:  Maintenance operations must be carried out with the engine off. Check that the gear and the par-
king brake are both engaged and that the ignition key has been removed.
WARNING: Beware of burns caused by hot tractor and engine parts.

10 HOURS OR DAILY SERVICE

Check fuel level

[4.1.l]

Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day after work has been
completed to prevent condensation in the fuel tank.

Diesel Fuel

Use  a  high  grade  diesel  fuel.  The  use  of  a  low  grade
fuel  will  result  in  loss  of  engine  power  and  high  fuel
consumption.

IMPORTANT: Different grades of diesel fuel are required 
for summer and winter operations. See your fuel supplier 
for winter fuel requirements in your area.

WARNING:  Never  refuel  the  machine  when 
the  engine  is  hot  or  running.  Never  smoke 
while refueling.

WARNING: Engine fuel is flammable and can 
cause a fire or an explosion. DO NOT fill the 
fuel tank or service the fuel system near an 
naked flame, welding, burning cigars, ciga-
rettes etc.

WARNING: Hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking 
under pressure can penetrate the skin and 
cause  infection  or  other  injury.  To  prevent 
injury:  release  all  pressure,  before  discon-
necting fluid lines. Before applying pressure, 
make  sure  all  connections  are  tight  and 
components are in good condition. Never use 
your hand to check for suspected leaks under 
pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood 
for this purpose. If injured by leaking fluid, 
see a doctor immediately.

Setting up a tank for fuel storage and decanting.

a. Slope 25%.

b. Condensation water.

c. Sludge drain plug.

Fuel storage

Use only good quality diesel fuel. Poor quality fuel can
reduce the efficiency of the injection system.
Diesel fuel must be free from particles in suspension. If
necessary, decant the fuel for two or three days before
using it in the tractor.
Fuel oil can be decanted with a cheap, but safe system,
as illustrated in the figure.
Never use fuel which has been left in an open can for
any length of time and which could contain dirt or water.
Fill the tractor’s fuel tank in the evening after finishing
the day’s work. This prevents condensation from forming
inside the tank.

NOTE: Never use galvanised containers to store fuel.

WARNING: Always use specific personal safety devices 
for each operation.

Maintenance

Oil level: transmission, power lift 

circuit and steering circuit, rear 

final drives

Check at regular intervals the oil level in the mechanical
transmission and in the power lift and steering circuits.

Park the tractor on flat ground, stop the engine and lower
the power lift links. Remove the dipstick (1) and check
the oil level .

NOTE: Allow the oil to settle in the transmission and 
rear final drives before checking the level.

The oil level in the transmission must be over the midli-
ne, between the minimum and maximum marks of the
dipstick with the lift links in the up position. If needed,
fill up through the filler (2) to the required level with oil of
the prescribed type.

When  operating  external  hydraulics,  such  as  hydraulic
front  loaders,  rams,  motors  etc.  that  require  a  certain
amount of oil, top up the oil level to the B mark on the
dipstick (corresponding to about 10 litres). This ensures
a correct oil level in the transmission at any time.

NOTE: The level must never be under the Min. mark; 
When using external hydraulics, the level must always 
be between the Min. and Max. marks.

NOTE: When working with the tractor on slopes, add 5 
extra litres of oil to guarantee a minimum oil level even 
in the most difficult conditions.

NOTE: The hydraulic rams of the implements being 
hitched to the tractor contain the same oil used in the 
transmission of the tractor. This excludes any oil conta-
mination that could cause malfunction.

Oil in the gearbox

The tractor’s transmission and the steering and power
lift circuits contain the same type of oil. See Lubricant
and Fuel Chart.

1.  Dipstick
A:  Normal level marks
Min. - no oil consumption
Max. - max. consumption 5 litres
B:  Level  to  be  maintained  if  using  a  front  loader  or

other hydraulic implements

2.  Transmission oil filler

10 HOURS OR DAILY SERVICE

WARNING: Always use specific personal safety devices 
for each operation. Beware of burns caused by hot 
tractor parts.
