HOW TO GET TOP PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR TRACTOR It has been observed that tractors are used 20 to 30% less than their capabilities and thus tractor users do not get full benefit from the tractor. The tractor operation is done, as a habit, between 1600-1800 engine RPM where engine power and work output is low and results in performance dissatisfaction. Although hourly and timely tractor maintenance is given in the following pages of your “Operator’s Manual” to get top notch performance, yet we list down a few “MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION TIPS” to get top notch performance. SOME FACTS • FARMTRACTractor engines are rated at 2000 RPM (VALUEMAX)/ 1850 RPM (AGMAXX, LOADMAX & SUPERMAXX) for maximum power output. • Specified tractor operating speeds are therefore available at 2000 RPM (VALUEMAX)/ 1850 RPM (AGMAXX, LOADMAX & SUPERMAXX). Operating tractor at less than 1800 engine RPM would result in high loss of power output. • Select right gear as per field conditions. Set hydraulic system in “Draft Control-This would minimise rear wheel slippage and engine RPM drop. Refer hydraulic system in the Operator’s Manual. Tractor Maintenance Ensure daily and periodic maintenance as per given schedule in this manual. Engine •

Always operate the engine at rated speed as specified on the operator manual for maximum work output.

AIR Cleaner •

58

Clean pre-cleaner, check oil level daily and top up if required. Change oil and clean daily when working in dusty conditions. Oil change recommended weekly or at 50 Hrs. under normal working conditions.

ENGINE Oil •

HOW TO GET TOP PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR TRACTOR

Check engine oil level daily. Oil level between “Add” & “Max” is safe and there is no need to add more oil. Top up oil level if oil level is close to “Add” mark.

FAN BELT TENSION •

Maintain proper (½" or 12mm) fan belt tension. Loose fan belt leads to slippage and causes engine overheating and the battery does not get charged also.

Clutch Pedal Free Play •

Maintain 32-38mm clutch pedal free play. Free play less than 32mm or no play causes clutch slippage.

Tyre Pressure •

Maintain correct tyre pressure for field work (front 26 psi; Rear 12-14 psi) to minimise wheel slippage.

Greasing and Lubrication •

Grease all greasing points every 50 hrs. or weekly. In puddling operation grease daily.

Do’S •

Always operate Tractor in “Draft Control” for Field Operations.

DonT’S •

Do not use clutch and brake pedal as “Foot Rest”.

•

Do not drive tractor on road with independent brakes.

TIPS ON FUEL SAVING 1. Know your Tractor Your manual will tell you everything you need to know about the maintenance and operation of your tractor. Research shows that a badly maintained tractor wastes upto 25% of precious diesel.

Remember : — When in doubt, check with your dealer. Remember : Inspect joints in – Fuel tank, – Fuel injectors, – Fuel pump, – Fuel lines.

2. Stop diesel leaks Check your tractor daily. A leak of one drop per second can cost you 600 litres per year. 3. Turn your engine off, when you stop An idling tractor wastes more than 1 litre of diesel every hour. 60

Remember : — Keep your battery, dynamo and self-starter in top running condition. If they are faulty they can force you to idle.

TIPS ON FUEL SAVING 4. Drive in the correct gear always If your tractor struggles to pull a load with the throttle at maximum.

Remember : — Smokes from a tractor indicates overloading, gear down.

You should go into lower gear. If it accelerates, slip into a higher gear. Wrong gear selection can increase fuel consumption by 30% and reduce field output by 50%. 5. Does your tractor smoke, too A tractor that smokes excessively wastes precious diesel. Oversize implements or using the wrong gear, cause tractor smoke. If your tractor continues to smoke, have it attended from your dealer. Test nozzles and if required recalibrate the fuel injection pump. Faulty fuel injection can increase fuel consumption by 25%. 61

Remember : — Don’t use oversize implements. — Service the engine regularly.

TIPS ON FUEL SAVING 6. Dirt–your engine’s worst enemy Good air filtration is important since tractors often operate in dusty conditions. Research proves that unfiltered air wears out cylinder bores 45 time faster and piston rings 115 times faster than normal.

Remember : — Do not replace both fuel filters simultaneously. — Clean air cleaner regularly.

Good fuel filtration is important, too. Dirty fuel endanger the engine too. Use quality fuel filters and replace them as recommended. 7. Wheels that slip waste diesel Keep tractor wheels from slipping by adding water ballasts and/or cast iron weights. Add just the right amount of weight to keep wheel slippage to minimum.

62

Remember : — Remove ballasts after field operations are over.

TIPS ON FUEL SAVING 8. Worn out tyres reduce pulling power Relug your tyres on time. While refitting tyres, make sure the ‘V’ treads point downwards when viewed from the front. 9. Match hauling capacity with load Choose implement size and tractor operating speed to match your engine’s full horsepower. Run in the highest gear possible at which your tractor doesn’t smoke. If your tractor on full throttle accelerates even in the top gear. Your implement is to small. A bigger implement or a multiple arrangement of implements may help you get the maximum benefit of tractors, power and cut diesel waste.

63

Remember : — Different tyre pressure are recommended for road and field work. Check your manual or ask your dealer. You may consume upto 30% more fuel if you use undersized implements or operate at low speeds.

Remember : Consult an expert when selecting implements.

TIPS ON FUEL SAVING 10. Plan your field run Plough according to a planned layout that reduces idle running, backtracking and awkward turns. You will save diesel if you plough long furrows instead of short ones. Using a pumpset or thresher

Remember : — Your first openings must be straight and parallel. — Side lands and headlands should be ploughed around the field continuously without reploughing the field.

Operate your tractor at the throttle setting which gives you the recommended speed for either a PTO or a belt drive. Your tractor has a built-in tachometer, the correct engine speed will be marked on the dial. Ask your dealer or an expert to make the throttle setting according to the size of your pump, thresher etc. 64

Remember : — You will save money if you operate the engine at its best speed for the pump or thresher.

DIESEL STORAGE AND HANDLING The Funnel for pouring the diesel should have a close mesh gauze. Cans and funnel should be kept clean and dry and covered up when not in use. The barrels should be kept well sheltered and the contents given ample time to settle before any diesel is withdrawn. A tap should be screwed into the hole on one end of the barrel, which should be placed tilted away from the tap. It will be necessary to loosen the second plug for drawing the diesel and to tighten it afterwards. The barrel should not completely drained, but refilled while there is still 5-10 litres diesel in it.

BENCH

65

IN COLD CLIMATES Radiator In near zero temperature–Add anti-freeze to the radiator water. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Otherwise, drain water at night and fill in the morning, preferably with hot water. Even boiling water can be filled. When driving, a partly cover can be used in front of the radiator to maintain the engine water temperature between 80 to 90°C (144 to 162°F).

Tractor Parking Park the tractor overnight in a garage or cover with canvas or quilt. Remove battery and keep in a warm place. Starting capability of warm battery is considerably better.

66

IMPLEMENTS CARE

IMPLEMENTS, BATTERY AND PUDDLING CARE

• Apply oil/grease to the nuts/bolts before fixing to avoid their rusting and jamming. • Keep nuts/bolts tight to avoid bending and misaligning the implement. • Keep skimmers and scrappers properly adjusted for cleaning of the rotating discs. • Change worn out shovels and discs, replace or sharpen worn out bar points or shares. • Replace or weld any borken structure immediately to avoid further damage. • Keep moving parts of implement–harrow disc gangs, disc plough bearings, colters and furrow wheels bushes–properly lubricated. • Frequently repack grease and adjust bearing preload on disc ploughs and trailer wheel hubs. • Wash and clean the implement after use. • Apply anti-rust oil/grease to shining parts before storage and do not store at place where water may collect. 67

Battery Care • Keep clamps and terminals clean and tight. Clean dirty terminals by dipping in hot water to remove deposits. • Smear terminals with vaseline. • Top up regularly using only distilled water. Maintain level 6 mm above plate. • Keep vent plugs clean and tight. Keep battery top clean and free of oil/fuel. • Keep correct polarity (-ve earth). • Handle carefully, avoid any external damage. Puddling care Before entering into water for puddling check • Plugging of holes, if any. • Greasing of all points till fresh grease comes out. It would be perfect against ingress of water. • Covering of starter motor with polythene to avoid water ingress through splash. • Clean the breather pipe provided in mudguard. • On completion of days puddling work–regrease all ponits till fresh grease comes out. • After the puddling is over, open front wheel spindles, wheel hubs and clean them. Repack with fresh grease and adjust bearings.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions. For preventing accidents read and take the following precautions before operating or working on the tractor. Equipment should be operated only by those who are responsible and instructed to do so. The Tractor 1. Read the Operator’s Manual carefully before using the tractor. Lack of operating knowledge can lead to accidents.

2. Only allow properly trained and qualified persons to operate the tractor. 3. To prevent falls, use the handholds and step plates when getting on and off the tractor. Keep steps and platform clear of mud and debris. 4. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride on the tractor unless a passenger seat is fitted. There is no safe place for seating on tractor. 5. Replace all missing illegible or damaged safety decals. 6. Keep safety decals free of dirt or grime. 69

7. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the tractor or any of its components or any tractor function without first consulting your dealer. 8. Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care and ensure, when stored, that they cannot topple and cause injury. Driving the Tractor 1. Always sit in the driver’s seat while starting or driving the tractor. 2. When driving on public roads, have consideration for other road users. 3. Dip the tractor lights when meeting a vehicle at night. Make sure the lights are adjusted to prevent blinding the driver of an on coming vehicle. 4. Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes. Lock the brake pedals together when travelling at road speeds or when on the highway. Brake both wheels simultaneously when making an emergency stop.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

5. Use extreme caution and avoid hard application of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road speeds. 6. Any towed vehicle whose total weight exceeds that for the towing tractor must be equipped with brakes for safe operation. 7. Never apply the differential lock when turning. When engaged, the differential lock will prevent the tractor from turning. 8. Always check overhead clearance, especially when transporting the tractor.

Before starting the engine, always carry out the following procedure : • Sit in the driver’s seat and ensure that the parking brake latch is firmly applied. • Push the stop control knob fully in. • Ensure that both gearshift levers are in neutral and that the P.T.O. lever is in the disengaged position. • Move both hydraulic lift control levers fully forward at bottom of quadrant. WARNING : Start the tractor only from the driver’s seat. If the key-start Switch is by passed, the engine may start inadvertently with a gear selected and cause sudden and unexpected movement of the tractor or a tractor runaway. 82

Wear eye protection when starting the tractor with jump leads or when charging the battery. • Sit in the driver’s seat and ensure that the parking brake latch is firmly applied. • Open the hand throttle halfway, depress the clutch and turn the key-start switch fully clockwise to position (4) to operate the starting motor. Crank the engine until it starts but do not operate the starting motor for more than 60 seconds. • Return the throttle to the position and check that all warning lights extinguish and gauge readings are normal. STARTING THE TRACTOR WITH JUMP LEADS If it is necessary to use jump leads (booster cables) to start the tractor, proceed as follows : • Connect one end of the red jump lead to the tractor battery positive (+) terminal and the other end to the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal. • Connect one end of the black jump lead to the auxiliary battery negative (-) terminal and the other end to a suitable projection on the tractor engine block. Follow the starting procedure previously described.

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

• When the engine starts allow it to run at idle speed, turn on all electrical equipment (Lights, etc.) then disconnect the jump leads in the reverse order to the connecting procedure. This will help protect the alternator from possible damage due to extreme load changes. NOTE : When using an auxiliary battery to start the engine, ensure that the polarity of the jump leads is correct-positive to positive, negative to negative otherwise the dynamo may be damaged. STOPPING THE ENGINE To stop the engine, carry out the following procedure • Sit in the driver’s seat and close the throttle. • Ensure that the parking brake latch is firmly applied. • Ensure that both gearshift levers are in neutral and that the P.T.O. lever is in the neutral position. • Pull the stop control knob fully out and turn the keystart switch-off. • Move the hydraulic lift control levers fully forward to lower all hydraulic equipment to the ground. WARNING : Check the area beneath the equipment to ensure that no injury or damage will be caused when equipment is lowered. 83

To lock the pedals together, slide the latch (4) across to engage in the hole in the underside of the right-hand pedal, as shown.

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION Foot Accelerator The foot accelerator may be used independently of the hand throttle to control the speed of the tractor. It is recommended that you use the foot accelerator when driving on the highway. IMPORTANT : When it is required to use the foot accelerator, set the hand throttle to the idle position (fully forward).

85

Differential Lock (Where fitted) In field conditions inducing wheel slip, hold down the differential lock pedal until the lock is felt to engage. The lock will automatically disengage when traction at the rear wheels equalises. If conditions cause a wheel to spin at speed, reduce the engine speed to idle before engaging the differential lock. WARNING : Never engage the differential lock at speeds above 5 mph (8kph) or when turning the tractor, when engaged, the lock will make the tractor difficult to steer.

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION Clutch (Single) When clutch pedal is depressed the drive between the engine and transmission will be disengaged. Use the clutch pedal to transfer engine power smoothly to the driving wheels when moving off from a stand still. Always deperss the clutch pedal to engage a gear ratio.

87

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION RUNNING-IN-PROCEDURE Your new tractor will provide long and dependable service if given proper care during the 50 hours running-in-period and if serviced at the recommended intervals. Avoid prolonged operation at either high or low engine speeds without a load on the engine. Avoid overloading the engine. Operating in too high a gear under heavy load may cause excessive engine overloading. Overloading occurs when the engine will not respond to a throttle increase. Use the lower gear ratios when pulling heavy loads and avoid continuous operation at constant engine speeds. Operating the tractor in too low a gear with a light load and high engine speed will waste fuel. You will save fuel and minimise engine wear by selecting the correct gear ratio for each particular operation. Check the instruments frequently and keep the radiator and various oil reservoirs filled to the recommended levels. 88

DRIVING THE TRACTOR WARNING : Observe the following precautions when driving the tractor: • Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. • Watch on which surface are you driving-especially at row ends, on roads and around trees. • To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at speeds compatible with safety, especially when operating on rough round, when crossing ditches or slopes and when turning corners. • Keep the tractor in gear when going down hill. Use a low gear to maintain control with minimum braking. • If the tractor is stuck, reverse out to prevent overturning the unit. • Always use the drawbar for pull-type work. Do not pull from any other part of the tractor since it may tip backward.

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

• Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes. Lock the brake pedals together when travelling at high speed or on the highway. Brake both wheels simultaneously when making an emergency stop. • Never apply the differential lock when turning. • Use extreme caution and avoid hard application of the tractor brakes when pulling heavy, towed loads at road speeds. • Towed loads that weigh more than the weight of the tractor should have brakes for safe operation. Ensure compliance with local regulations. • Always sit in the driver’s seat while starting or driving the tractor

The type of control selected will depend on the type of implement in use and the operating conditions. Draft Control is most suitable for mounted implements operating in the ground. Changes in the working depth or soil resistance cause the draft loading on the implement to increase or decrease. This change in draft loading is sensed through the top link of the three-point linkage and the hydraulic system responds by raising or lowering the implement to restore the draft loading. In this way a uniform draft load is maintained on the implement. The system responds to 99

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION Position Control provides accurate and sensitive control of implements such as sprayers, rakes, movers, etc., that operate above the ground. Position Control would not normally be used with ground engaging equipment unless it is essential to maintain a constant depth regardless of the draft load.

In most circumstances, forward movement of the Draft Control lever will increase implement depth and rearward movement will reduce the depth.

The tractor has a dual lever system, i.e., a separate lever for Draft and Position Control functions. See Figure 20.

When the required implement working depth has been established, set the adjustable stop adjacent to the Draft Control lever to locate the position for repeated use. The Draft Control lever may be eased sideways to bypass the adjustable stop, if required.

The Draft and Position Control levers are used to raise or lower the three-point linkage (and implement) to the required height or working depth. WARNING : Do not transport or attach equipment when the hydraulic system is in Draft Control. Use Position Control for these operations. Always lower hydraulic equipment to the ground before stopping the tractor. Upper Link Draft Control Operation Move the Draft Control lever in the quadrant to find the point near the centre where the lift links neither raise nor lower. This is the neutral point. Lower the implement into work using the Draft Control lever. Push the lever forward to increase the draft loading. Pull rearwards to reduce the draft loading. 100

Once set, the tractor hydraulic system will automatically adjust the implement depth to maintain an even pull on the tractor and so reduce wheel slip to a minimum.

The adjustable stop is reversible after loosening the central clamp screw so may be used as a location point for either the Draft or Position Control levers. A pressure sensitive feathering valve, installed within the hydraulic system, automatically regulates the hydraulic oil flow to give smoother response to draft signals when using soil engaging implements. Pull the Draft Control lever to the top of the quadrant to override the automatic flow control valve and raise the implement quickly.

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION Position Control Operation Set the required implement height/depth using the Position Control lever. Pull the lever back to raise the implement height/depth using the Position Control lever. Pull the lever back to raise the implement, push forward to lower. Implement height/depth is relative to the position of the lever in the quadrant. NOTE : When operating in Position Control the Draft Control lever should be pushed down to the bottom of the quadrant. When the required implement working height/depth has been established, set the adjustable stop adjacent to the Position Control lever to locate the position for repeated use. The lever may be eased sideways when it is required to by pass the adjustable stop. The adjustable stop is reversible after loosening the central clamp screw so may also be used when operating in Draft Control. IMPORTANT : When transporting equipment on the threepoint linkage lock the linkages by closing shut off valve provided at the top of accessory cover Fig. 21.

101

This will prevent accidental movement of the lever which could result in attached equipment lowering and becoming damaged or damaging the road surface. Draft Control Operation with Position Control NOTE : When operating in Draft Control the Position Control lever should normally be at the bottom of the quadrant. However, the Position Control lever may be used in conjuction with Draft Control to limit the maximum depth to achieve a more even depth on cultivation in fields with widely varying soil conditions. Position Control may be used together with the Draft Control as follows : Set the Position Control lever at the maximum desired implement depth. The hydraulic system will not lower the implement below this depth. (This will also prevent “diving” which may be encountered with light equipment, such as a rear blade, when grading or back filling). Adjust the Draft Control lever for the maximum required draft load (pull). The hydraulic lift system will now provide normal draft response within the range set by the Position Control. This adjustment provides a more uniform depth while maintaining an even pull in widely varying soil conditions.

AUXILIARY SPOOL VALVE Auxiliary Spool Valve To facilitate operation of remote cylinder, Double Acting auxiliary Spool Valve is provided on the tractor. It can be used with both single acting as well double acting cylinders with the help of a Selector knob. It can be operated by a lever located on the right hand side of the operator’s seat above the auxiliary distributor, which is connected by pipe to quick-release couplers at the rear of tractor. It works in both Forward and Backward positions and connects oil supply to remote couplers. CAUTION : Once the trailer ram is at full lift, bring back the Operation Lever, immediately to neutral position. Keeping the Lever in raised position, will cause Hydraulic pump to unnecessarily run at full pressure and cause continuous blowing off system pressure and rise in temperature.

WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT AND TRACTOR WEIGHTING FRONT WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT WARNING : A tractor with narrow wheel settings may not be as stable under the same conditions as a tractor with wide wheel settings. Use the maximum track width possible, compatible with your operation, especially on rough ground, slopes or across ditches. Adjustment of the front wheel track width is effected by changing the position of front wheel rin both ends of the axle equally.

1

To change track width, block the rear wheels, jack up the front axle and straighten the front wheels to align the toe-in marks, Figure 30 on both steering spindles. NOTE : The front wheel discs are off-set relative to the center line of the rim. If the front wheels are reversed on the hubs the track settings will be increased by approximately 8 in. (20 cm.) as shown in the table. Fig. 30. Steering Spindle 1. Toe-in marks Front wheel nut torque 82 lbf. ft. (111 Nm)

104B

WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT AND TRACTOR WEIGHTING TOE IN ADJUSTMENT To obtain optimum life of the front tires, Toe-in must be checked every 50 hours or after every change in the track setting. Check that the toe-in marks, Figure 30, are always aligned. In case of any misalignment, proceed as detailed below.

Loosen the clamp bolts, Figure 33, on the left-hand drag link and rotate the sleeve until the Toe-in marks (Figure 30) are aligned. Repeat the procedure on the right hand drag link. Tighten all nuts and bolts securely. WARNING : Owners should ensure that all steering components are maintained in a reliable and satisfactory condition to ensure safe operation and comply with legal requirements. Toe-in measurement

WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT AND TRACTOR WEIGHTING Mark the inboard rim of each frnot wheel towards the front at wheel center height. Measure and note the distance between the two marks, call this dimension A, Figure 34. Maintain the straight ahead position and move the tractor forward so the wheels rotate throught 180° and the marks on the wheels face the rear at wheel center height.

NOTE : If dimension A is larger, then A-B gives the Toeout. If dimension B is larger, then B-A gives the Toe-in See Section C for toe-in adjustment. To ensure accurate results it is recommended that the above procedure is completed three times with three different marks equally spaced around each wheel rim and the average dimension for Toe-in taken. This method minimizes any inaccuracy due to wheel rim runout. Rear Wheel Track Adjustment

Rear wheel track adjustment is effected by changing the wheel rim relative to the centre disc, the rim and/or the disc relative to the axle hub or by interchanging the rear wheels. WARNING : A tractor with narrow wheel settings may not be as stable under the same conditions as a tractor with wide wheel settings. Use the maximum width possible which is compatible with your operation, especially on rough ground, slopes or across ditches.

WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT AND TRACTOR WEIGHTING Each drawing represents either a left-hand wheel viewed from the rear or a right-hand wheel viewed from the front.

WARNING : Never operate the tractor with a loose wheel rim or disc. Always tighten nuts to the specified torque and at the recommended intervals.

NOTE : When interchanging left and right-hand wheel assemblies, ensure the “V” of the tyre tread remains pointing in the direction of forward travel.

WARNING : Your tractor is produced with lights which meet lighting regulations when operating or travelling on the public highway. If the wheel track setting is adjusted beyond the initial factory position then you may be required to reposition the lights or fix auxiliary lighting to comply with legal requirements. Additionally, before travelling on the highway, ensure that the overall tractor width does not exceed the maximum permitted in the country.

NOTE : With certain options and/or tyre sizes, the smaller track settings may not be attainable due to minimal clearance between tyres and fenders or equipment. When refitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts to the following torques then recheck after driving the tractor for 200 yards (200 m.), after 1 hour and 8 hours operation and thereafter at the 50 hours service intervals.

TRACTOR WEIGHTING For maximum performance in heavy draft conditions weight should be added to the tractor in the form of liquid ballast, cast iron weights or a combination of both. Front end ballast may be required for stability and steering control when weight is transferred from the front to the rear wheels as the implement is raised by the tractor three-point linkage.

WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT AND TRACTOR WEIGHTING

As a general guide, tractors should be ballasted so that approximately one third of the total tractor weight (less implement) is on the front wheels.

further information or assistance is required on tractor weighting consult your dealer. Do not add weight to the outer wheels of a dual wheel installation.

When a rear mounted implement is raised to the transport position, the weight on the front wheels should be at least 20% of total tractor weight.

When adding ballast the total weight of the tractor including liquid, cast iron weights and mounted equipment (where specified) should not exceed the maximum shown in the following text entitled ‘Weighting Limitations.’

Add additional front end ballast, as required, for stability during operation and transport. Ballasting of the front end may not always provide adequate stability if the tractor is operated at high speed on rough terrian. Reduce tractor speed and exercise caution under these conditions. When using front mounted implements, add weight to the rear wheels to maintain traction and stability. IMPORTANT : Only sufficient weight should be added to provide traction and stability. Adding more weight than necessary results in unnecessary loads being imposed on the tractors and a higher fuel consumption. When adding weight, adhere to the maximum tyre capacity loading stated in the tables towards the end of Section C of this Manual. If 109

WARNING : If proper stability cannot be achieved within the following weighting limitations, reduce the load on the tractor until stability is restored. Weighting Limitations For optimum driveline reliability and tractive efficiency, maximum ballasted tractor weight (base tractor plus ballast and any mounted equipment such as sprayers, tanks etc.) must not exceed 6900 lb. (3130 kg.). Maximum permissible rear axle loading with ballast and mounted equipment : 6000 lb. (2700 kg.).

WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT AND TRACTOR WEIGHTING Cast Iron Weights Up to three cast iron weights may be added to each rear wheel. See Figure 36. The weights weigh 150 kg. each, giving a maximum rear axle ballast weight of 300 kg. Tyre Size

Fig. 36. Rear Wheel Weights (Optional) NOTE : Total rear axle weight is measured with only the rear wheels on the scales inclusive of liquid and cast iron ballast and with mounted equipment in the raised position. The total front axle load must not exceed the load capacity of the tyres. See Tyre pressure and Load tables in Section C of this Manual. NOTE : The front axle loading includes a front end loader in the raised position but with no load in the bucket. 110

Never add water to calcium chloride. If the flakes should contact the eyes, wash the eyes immediately with clean, cold water for at least 5 minutes. Consult the doctor as soon as possible. NOTE : When fillnig tyres with a calcium chlorides water solution the valve should be at the highest point on the wheel. If the tyre contains liquid ballast, the valve should be at the lowest point when checking or adjusting air pressure. Special equipment is required to water ballast tyres. See your tractor dealer or tyre supplier for details.

Fig. 39. Liquid Ballast Procedure for filling and removing the solution Mixing the Solution Prepare the calcium chloride mixture by pouring calcium chloride in to water (never add water into calcium chloride, as considerable heat is generated in this process.) The solution should be allowed to cool to atmospheric temperature before pumping in the fire.

WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT AND TRACTOR WEIGHTING Removing 1. Jack up the tractor. 2. Turn wheel to bring the valve to bottom position. 3. Remove the valve core housing and make connection with pump. 4. Completely evacuate the tire. 5. Reinflate tire to recommended pressure.

Fig. 40. Hydro Inflation Filling 1. Jack up the wheel. 2. Turn the tire to bring the valve to top position. 3. Remove the valve core housing and make connection with pump. 4. Hydroinflate the tire following pump specifications. 5. Set final working pressure after the tire has been mounted on the tractor using an air-water gauge (keep valve at bottom). 112

NOTE : When filling tires with a calcium chloride water solution the valve should be at the highest point on the wheel. If the tire contains liquid ballast, the valve should be at the lowest point when checking or adjusting air pressure. Special equipment is required to water ballast the tires. See your tractor dealer or tire supplier for details. Front tractor tubes do not have air/water valves fitted as standard equipment. A suitable air/water valve must be fitted to enable front tires to be fitted with calcium chloride solution.

TYRES CARE NOTE : Front tractor tubes do not have air/water valves fitted as standard equipment. A suitable air/water valve must be fitted to enable front tyres to be filled with calcium chloride solution. TYRE INFLATION Upon receiving your tractor, check the air pressure in the tyres and recheck every 50 hours or weekly.

•

Never attempt tyres repairs on a public road or highway.

•

Do not inflate a steering tyre (front tyre) above the manufacturer’s maximum pressure shown on the tyre or beyond the maximum pressure shown in Section-C.

•

Never inflate any traction tyre (rear tyre) over 35 lbf/ in’ (2.4 bar). If the bead does not seat on the rim by the time this pressure is reached, deflate the tyre, relubricate the bead with a soap/water solution and re-inflate. Do not use oil or grease. Inflation beyond 35 lbf/in 2 with unseated beads may break the bead or rim with explosive force sufficient to cause a serious injury.

•

After seating the beads, adjust inflation pressure to the recommended operating pressure.

•

Do not re-inflate a tyre that has been run flat or seriously under-inflated until it has been inspected for damage by a qualified person.

•

Torque wheel to axle nuts to specification after reinstalling the wheel, check nut tightness daily until torque stabilises.

•

Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface.

When checking tyre pressures, inspect the tyres for damaged tread and side walls. Neglected damage will lead to early tyre failure. Inflation pressure affects the amount of weight that a tyre may carry. Locate the tyre size for your tractor in the Tyre Pressure and Load Tables in Section C of this Manual. Do not exceed the load for the pressures listed. Do not over or under inflate the tyres. WARNING : Installing or servicing tyres can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called in to service or install tyres. In any event, to avoid the possibility of serious or fatal injury take the following precautions :

FIELD OPERATIONS AND WORKING TIPS

Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to support the tractor while repairing tyres. Do not put any part of your body under the tractor or start the engine while the tractor is on the jack. Never hit a tyre or rim with a hammer. Ensure the rim is clean and free of rust or damage. Do not weld, braze, otherwise repair or use a damaged rim. Do not inflate a tyre unless the rim is mounted on the tractor or is secured so that it will not move if the tyre or rim should suddenly fail. When fitting a new or repaired tyre, use a clip-on valve adaptor with a remote gauge and operator to stand clear of the tyre while inflating it. Use a safety cage, if available. Refer to tractor weighting section before adding ballast to the tyres.

FIELD OPERATIONS 3-Point Linkage Category II linkage having lower links spread of 825 mm and for hitching 28 mm diameter pins are provided. 114

The top link is adjustable by rotating the centre sleeve for lengthwise levelling of the implement. The right hand lifting rod is provided with a levelling gear for sidewise levelling of the implement. The left hand lifting rod is screw type for proper setting of the ploughs. Internal check chains are mounted at the lower links on two set of holes. After mounting implement set chains in such holes that side float exists even on raised position.

Implement Attachment The mounted implements are attached to the lower and the top links. Top link mounted holes in rocker ‘1’ upper for lighter draft ‘2’ lower for heavy draft. For connecting the mounted implements, reverse the tractor correctly aligned to the implement, attach the left hand lower link and then the right hand lower link (which can be raised or lowered using the levelling box) and finally the top link. Secure the attachment using safety linch pins.

FIELD OPERATIONS AND WORKING TIPS

There should not be excessive play between the mounting pins and the holes of the implement and lower links so that draft changes are readily transmitted to the hydraulic system for automatic correction.

The trailing type implements are attached to the tractor lower links by using a Draw Bar or with swinging draw bar. FIELD OPERATIONS Implement Selection / Mounting Select implements of right size suitable for the soil conditions and the tractor power. Using a 12 disc harrow, instead of 14 disc harrow which the tractor can easily take, will take one hour for the work of 50 minutes. The height of the mounted implement pyramid should be such that when the implement is working the top link is slanting down towards the tractor end. This helps in keeping the tractor front wheels down when the automatic draft correctness take place. 115

SECTION A

Wheel Slippage Control wheel slippage by controlling depth. For mounted implements select draft control and if field has soft slippery patches use blending control. Momentary wheel slippage can be taken care of by using differential lock. Soil Moisture Working in very dry soil produces hard and large lumps/ clods, using a lot of engine power and fuel. In subsequent operations these lumps are difficult to break and require too many extra runs. Where time and facilities permit, lightly irrigate dry fields a couple of days before ploughing, harrowing or tilling. A soil moisture of 10 to 20% as per the various soils, helps a good deal in saving fuel, time and machine wear. Too much of soil moisture or free standing water is also not good. It causes excessive wheel slippage clogging up of the implement, poor work output and loss of economy.

FIELD OPERATIONS AND WORKING TIPS Field Working Tips For quick penetration of plough first run head lines on both ends of the field, leaving the space for turning. For ploughing in hard/dry soil, ploughing depth can be achieved by increasing the suck-angle of the plough by shortening the top link and winding up the levelling lever. In certain very tough soil conditions, it may be needed to add weight to the plough frame to achieve the necessary depth of ploughing. For the initial run in the dry soil with the tiller, to break the hard crust of the soil, reduce the top link length so that front tines cut deeper. While taking a turn in the field, raise the mounted implement clear of the soil to avoid undue bending or breaking of the lower links. Avoid tyres hitting solid or sharp objects or riding over sharply cut, dry stubs of the harvested crop. 116

Field Level Plan your field operation such that the field level is not disturbed. It is too expensive and time consuming to correct a spoiled field level. Keep plough properly adjusted to avoid side-draft and drifting of the tractor. Level the plough such that each body cuts equal depth and width. Maintain constant speed during ploughing and harrowing for uniform throw of soil. Adjust trailing harrow side-way so that there is no overlapping or formation of channels in subsequent runs. Never take a right turn with the trailing harrow. It will form channels and also overload the tractor.

TRAILER OPERATION For haulage of goods and farm produce, 2-wheel or 4-wheel trailers can be attached to the rear of the tractor. For haulage with 2-wheel trailers it is recommended to use automatic hitch for proper load transfer on to the tractor and easy hitching and un-hitching of the trailer by hydraulic assistance. For haulage with 4-wheel trailer, the adjustable height tow-hook can be fitted to the rear of the tractor. If two trailers are to be pulled, these should be both 4-wheel trailers or the 2 wheel trailer followed by 4 wheel trailer. The tow bar of the rear trailer should be in level with the tow hook on the front trailer.

Load Distribution on 2-wheel trailer On the non-tipping 2-wheel trailer, the trailer axle should be behind the middle of the trailer body as some of the weight of the trailer is required to be transferred to the tractor rear axle. The load transfer should however not exceed 1100 Kg. for 4 PR rear and 1650 Kg. for 6 PR rear tyres. On the tipping 2-wheel trailer, the trailer axle should be at the rear most end. However the gross trailer weight should not exceed 5 tonnes. Loading of the trailer should also be done evenly. In hilly areas or where gradients are encountered : •

Fit front wheel weights for better steering control.

The tow hook on the back of the front trailer can be a rigid one.

•

Select proper gear as per load condition to avoid need of changing gear when going uphill.

The trailer should be provided with rear lights which can be connected to the tractor electrical system.

•

For going down-hill use the same gear for better control and safety.

117

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE This section gives full details of the service procedures necessary to maintain your tractor at peak efficiency while the lubrication and maintenance chart on page 2 provides a ready reference to these requirements. In addition to the regular service operations listed, the following items should be checked every 10 hours or daily during the first 50 hours of operation • Transmission oil level • Rear wheel nuts for tightness At the first 50 hours service, ensure that the following additional service operations are carried out • Change engine oil & filter. • Change hydraulic oil filter. • Check and adjust fan belt tension. • Check and adjust brakes. • Check cylinder head bolts torque and adjust engine valve clearances. • Clean, inspect and grease front wheel bearings • Check torque of front end weight clamp bolts (where fitted). NOTE : Ensure that the tractor is on level ground and that all rams are extended, where applicable before checking oil levels. See recommended lubricants chapter for additional amount that may be added to the rear axle and for oil capacities and grades. To prevent contamination when changing oils, filters, etc., always clean the area around the filter, level and drain plugs, dipsticks and filters. Before connecting remote cylinders, ensure that oil contained within them is clean, has not degenerated due to long storage and is of the correct grade.

NOTES : * Grease daily when operating in wet land conditions. ** The first change of the filter should be done at 50 hours of usage and all subsequent changes after every 300 hours. Oil change interval will be reduced if the diesel fuel has a high sulphur content or if the tractor is operated in extremely cold temperatures. # The first change of filter should be done at 50 hours of usage and all subsequent changes after every 300 hours. ## Frequency depends on clutch usage. AFTER FIRST 50 HOURS OF USAGE check the Engine idle Speed and adjust if necessary. This adjustment should be carried out by your Authorised Dealer. IMPORTANT : Special equipment which is available at your Authorised Dealer is needed to adjust the fuel injection pump. The warranty of the engine may be affected if the seals on the fuel injection pump are broken during the warranty period.

119

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE DIESEL FUEL Before handling fuel, filling tanks, etc., observe the following: • Under no circumstances, should gasoline, gasohol, or dieselhol (a mixture of diesel fuel and alcohol) be added to diesel fuel because of increased fire or explosion risks. In addition, in a closed container, such as a fuel tank, they are more explosive than pure gasoline. Do not use these blends. Additionally, dieselhol is not approved due to possible inadequate lubrication of the fuel injection system. • Clean the filler cap area. Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day to reduce overnight condensation. • Never remove the filler cap or refuel with the engine running. • Keep control of the fuel filling pipe nozzle and do not smoke when filling the tank. • Do not fill tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion and wipe up spilled fuel immediately. 120

• If the original fuel tank cap is lost or damaged, replace it with an approved cap and tighten securely. A nonapproved cap may not be safe. • Diesel fuel with a sulphur content above 1.3% is not recommended. • Precautions should be taken to ensure that stored fuel is kept free of dirt, water, etc. • Fuel should be stored in black iron tanks, not galvanised tanks, as the galvanised coating will react with the fuel and form compounds that will contaminate the injection pump and injectors. • Bulk storage tanks should be installed away from direct sunlight and angled slightly so that the outlet pipe is at the higher end. In this way sediment in the tank settle away from the outlet pipe. • To facilitate moisture and sediment removal, a drain plug should be provided at the lowest point (at the opposite end to the outlet pipe). If there is no filter on the outlet pipe, then a funnel with a fine mesh

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE screen should be used when filling the tractor fuel tank. • Refill the fuel tank via the filler tube which is on the rear left-hand side of the hood.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Tractor Storage Before storing the tractor for an extended period, the following precautions should be taken. • Clean the tractor. • Drain the engine and transmission oil and refill with fresh oil. • Drain the fuel tank and pour approximately two gallons (10 litres) of special calibratnig fuel into the tank. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes to ensure complete distribution of the calibration fuel throughout injection system. See the next item before running the engine. • Check the radiator coolant level. If the coolant is within 200 hours of the next change, renew the coolant, as appropriate. Run the engine for one hour to disperse the inhibitor throughout the cooling system.

• Lightly coat all exposed hydraulic piston rods with petroleum jelly, e.g. power steering cylinder rams, spool vlaves, etc. • Remove the battery and store in a warm, dry atmosphere. Recharge periodically. • Raise the tractor and place supports under the axles to take the weight off the tires. • Block the clutch pedal in the fully depressed position. • Cover the exhaust pipes opening. Preparing the tractor for use after storage • Uncover the exhaust pipes opening. • Inflate the tires to the correct pressure. • Refill the fuel tank. • Check the radiator coolant level.

• Lubricate all grease fittings.

• Check all the levels.

• Raise the lift linkage hydraulically and support the lift arms in the fully raised position.

• Install a fully charged battery. • Remove the exhaust pipe covering. • Start the engine and check that all instruments and controls are functioning correctly.

MAINTAIN TYRES AT CORRECT INFLATING PRESSURE FOR BETTER OUT PUT

SPECIFICATIONS LUBRICANTS Choose the correct viscosity grade from the chart on the right. NOTE : If you have difficulty in obtaining oils that meet the above specifications, please contact your authorised dealer. NOTE : In areas where prolonged periods of extreme temperatures are encountered, local lubricant practices are acceptable, - such as use of SAE 5 W in extreme low temperatures of SAE 50 in extreme high temperatures. Engine Oil The engine oil change period is shown on page 10 of Section B. However, locally available fuel may have a high sulphur content, in which case the oil change period should be adjusted as follows :

168

Sulphur Content % Below 0.5 0.5 - 1.0 1.0 - 1.3

Oil Change Period Normal Half the normal One quarter normal

The use of a fuel with a sulphur content above 1.3% is not recommended.

To avoid the possibility of tyre to rim creep, tyre pressure below 14 lbf/in2 (1.0 bar) should not be used with cross ply tyres for operations having a high torque requirements e.g. sub-soiling, ploughing, heavy cultivation, etc. When mounted implements are used, rear tyre loads may be increased by up to 20% with no increase in inflation pressure when operated at speeds not exceeding 12 mph (20 kph). The above tables are for guidance only. For exact information regarding inflation pressures and loads for your particular tyres, consult your dealer. 169

IMPLEMENT SELECTION GUIDELINES

172

Avoid rolling of harrow on road. Use trailer for transporting When transporting mounted implement shorten top link to minimum length. Set hydraulic levers in top raised position and LOCK the levers. Maintain speed to avoid jumps. Clear off while overtaking on road with wide implements. Park tractor in neutral, by bringing rear of tractor parallel & close to implement of hitching. Alignment of tractor/ implement should be done by inching manually.

BASIC GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENT SELECTION

All FARMTRAC tractors are of category I & II linkage. Selection of field gear depends upon (i) type of implement (ii) shape of tines & shovels (iii) local practices and field conditions. Always buy quality implements from a reliable source and check for specified dimensions and weight . Select correct length of linkage Drawbar 683 + 1.5mm for trailing implements.

IMPLEMENT MAINTENANCE

Clean the implement after use. Apply used engine oil on cutting blades & shining surfaces to avoid rusting. Repaint once every 2 years Regularly tighten nuts, bolts & replace defective ones Replace or reverse worn out shovels in time. Worn out shovels penetrate less and add excessive load. Use special bolts & nuts for fixing shovels Replace Discs of plough and harrow before disc diameter is reduced to 24" or 20" respectively. Always use correct size Hitching pins & linch pins For Mould Board ploughs, regularly get shares and bar point sharpen and shapes corrected by Blacksmith Do not oil link balls as they with collect dust and accelerate wear Prior to operation lubricate harrow gangs shaft bush with oil or pack grease in housings where bearings are fitted.
