Driving the tractor

1. Driving speed must always be adapted to the current situation. Avoid sudden cornering when driving uphill or downhill, or across gradients. Disengage the differential lock when cornering. Never disengage the clutch to shift gears when travelling downhill!
2. Make sure all trailers and implements are properly hitched. Driving characteristics, steering and braking are affected by mounted implements, trailers and ballast weight. Therefore, always ensure that there is adequate steering and braking capacity.
3. Observe the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight, axle loads and tyre load capacity, especially if heavy implements are attached.
4. When negotiating bends with implements connected or hitched up, always allow for the overhang and oscillating weight of the implement.

Front loader operation

• Never allow anyone to stand in the hazard area, or within the working range of the front loader. Keep the area clear of bystanders at all times. Do not operate the front loader unless there is a clear view of the entire working area illuminate the area if necessary.
• It is not permitted to use the standard loader (as supplied) as a working platform. If using the loader with a special working platform, additional safety measures are required.
• Do not handle round bales, pallets etc. unless the loader is suitably equipped for this purpose. If loading objects that cannot be secured and may fall off, do not use the front loader unless the driving seat is protected by a robust canopy.
• When the front loader is raised, the risk of the tractor tipping over is greater, and the braking effect at the rear axle may also be reduced. Adapt your driving style and ensure adequate ballasting at the rear. For additional loading, we recommend attaching the Fendt 870 kg additional weight at the three-point link - fit wheel weights and fill the tyres if necessary.

Advice for front loader maintenance:

1. Before undertaking maintenance work, lower the front loader to the ground, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
2. If the pipe fracture protection has engaged, support the load before starting repairs, and slowly retract the cylinder.
3. Hydraulic hoses deteriorate with age. Check
4. the condition of hydraulic hoses at regular intervals, and replace them in good time.
5. After attachment and repair operations, drive the tractor for a short time then retighten all mounting screws and nuts and check them regularly.
6. Retighten eccentric bolt for front loader attachment, if necessary.
