1.3 Special safety instructions for tractor maintenance
1.3.1 General maintenance instructions
WARNING:
Always read and observe the relevant sections of the Operator's Manual and any other
technical documentation before performing any repairs or maintenance work.
WARNING:
Familiarize yourself with any legal requirements before all maintenance and repair work,
particularly the work safety and accident prevention regulations.
WARNING:
Always have service work performed at a specialist FENDT workshop. These workshops
have the necessary expertise and tools for the required work. Safety-related work and
work on safety-related systems must be carried out by a specialist FENDT workshop.
WARNING:
Before any maintenance and repair work and before opening the engine cover, switch off
the engine and remove the ignition key.
Apply the handbrake and place chocks underneath the wheels if necessary.
Disconnect the battery (negative terminal) when working on the engine.
Replace safety equipment following maintenance work. Ensure that the tractor is securely parked
Ensure that the oil and fuel are of the prescribed quality and store them both in permitted containers only.
Do not perform any welding, drilling, cutting or grinding work on the cab or safety frame. Replace damaged
parts.
IMPORTANT:
If, for operational reasons, you need to carry out individual maintenance tasks independently, observe the
valid country-specific environmental protection measures. The legal stipulations must be observed when
disposing of fuel and lubricants such as engine oil. This also applies to all parts, e.g. filters, that have come
into contact with fuel and lubricants. Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths and maintenance
products in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe the instructions for use of maintenance products.
Do not leave the engine running for longer than is necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Before carrying out any maintenance work, thoroughly clean the tractor. This is particularly important for
connections and components that need to be loosened and the surrounding areas.
Used oil, coolant and brake fluid must be disposed of properly. Current legislation and the instructions of
the fluid manufacturer must be observed.
For maintenance intervals, work to be performed and the quantity and quality of fuels and lubricants to be
used, refer to "Fluids and lubricants" or "Maintenance schedule".
NOTE:
Like all technical equipment, the tractor requires care and maintenance. The scope and frequency of
maintenance work depends primarily on the often broadly varying operating conditions.
The specialist FENDT workshop confirms the work carried out in each case in the maintenance manual.
Always have service work carried out at a specialist FENDT workshop, as these workshops have the
necessary expertise and tools for the work required. Safety-related work and work on safety-related
systems must be carried out by a specialist FENDT workshop.
The guarantee includes experiences and regular technical instructions from the factory, along with fittings
and tools for professional tractor maintenance that is based the latest knowledge.
Spare parts
Ensure spare parts are suitable for your tractor. In many countries, parts that change the tractor will
invalidate your operating license if:
- the vehicle type approved in the operating license is changed
- road users are put in danger
