Introduction and warranty Introduction This manual has been written to provide the owner and user with reliable and clear instructions on tractor operation and maintenance. By following the instructions in the manual, you will not only get many years of efficient and faithful service from your MCCORMICK tractor, but you will make your work much easier. Your dealer will give you operating and maintenance instructions when you take delivery of your new tractor and will make sure you have understood them correctly. However, should any part of this manual not be clear to you, do not hesitate to contact your nearest dealer for explanations. It is very important for you to understand and strictly comply with these instructions. Carry out the maintenance checks daily and keep note of the number of hours the tractor has worked. Use only genuine MCCORMICK spare parts when replacements are required. MCCORMICK local agents not only supply genuine spare parts. They can also give useful hints and instructions on how they are to be mounted and used. Remember that non-genuine parts can damage other components. You are therefore strongly advised to purchase any spare parts that may be necessary from an authorized MCCORMICK agent or dealer.
NOTE: This manual has been written for world-wide distribution. Standard or optional equipment may vary depending on the territory in which the tractor is to operate. Your local dealer will be pleased to provide you with details of all optional extras available in your area. NOTE: Some of the illustrations in this manual have been taken from photographs of prototypes. Standard production models may differ in some parts. WARNING: In order to make the illustrations clearer, certain of the figures in this manual show the machine with some of the safety panels or guards removed. NEVER use the machine without these panels or guards in position.
CAUTION and WARNING
The tremendous variety of conditions in which tractors work the world over mean that MCCORMICK cannot provide perfectly accurate and up to date information on the performance and efficiency of the tractors it manufactures. The company therefore accepts no responsibility for loss or damage caused by its publications or any error or omission therein. Should the vehicle ever be used in particularly adverse conditions (e.g. in heavy soils or very muddy conditions) contact your local dealer for specific instructions. Failure to do so may render null and void the warranty on your tractor.
These terms are used in this manual and on the safety decals to indicate operations that have serious implications for the safety of the machine parts (CAUTION) or for the safety of the operator (WARNING). Please therefore read the texts indicated with the words CAUTION or WARNING very carefully. Next to them you will see the symbol .
Customers are strongly advised to refer any difficulties in use or assistance to authorized dealers. The MCCORMICKdealership network is specially equipped and trained to provide assistance and to advise customers on how to use the tractor in special working conditions.
NOTE: The "left" and "right" positions mentioned in this manual refer to the tractor as viewed from behind or when sitting in the driving seat looking forward.
The names and addresses of dealers throughout the world may be obtained from the address indicated on the next page.

Introduction and warranty Warranty, pre-delivery inspection, and delivery New products purchased through authorized dealers are guaranteed, within certain limits, against defects in materials and manufacture. This manual is published for world-wide distribution. It is thus impossible to describe the exact terms and conditions of warranties in every single country. Purchasers of new tractors are kindly requested to ask their local Dealer for full details. Since it is a MCCORMICK policy to make constant improvements to all its products, the specifications of its tractors may be modified at any moment and without notice. MCCORMICK declines all responsibility for discrepancies between a tractor's actual features and the descriptions given in this manual. Your dealer is obliged to provide a number of specific services when delivering a new tractor. These services include a thorough examination of the tractor prior to delivery to ensure that it is perfectly functional and ready for immediate use, and an explanation of all tractor operating and maintenance instructions. These instructions cover the instruments and controls, periodical maintenance and safety precautions. It is essential for all those involved in tractor operation or maintenance to participate in this course. MCCORMICKdeclines all responsibility for any damage caused by the use of non-approved parts. NOTE: Please refer to the 'Warranty Book' provided with each tractor sold for the conditions of warranty or for any problems concerning them. NOTE: MCCORMICK declines all responsibility in the case of claims for damages deriving from use of spare parts or accessories that are not of the approved type.
Safety notes The operator's safety is one of the main concerns of those who design and develop new tractors and the greatest possible number of safety devices are included. Despite this fact, many accidents happen every year that could have been avoided if the operator had taken greater care when handling farming machinery and equipment. Read this manual! It will help you to avoid potential accidents. To illustrate parts more clearly, some of the drawings in this manual show panels or guards removed. Remember that the tractor must never be used in these conditions. Leave all panels and guards in place. If you have to remove one to carry out repairs, you MUST fit it back in place before starting the tractor. Remove and replace guards ONLY with the engine switched off. DO NOT remove or cancel any Caution, Warning or Danger Instruction decals. Replace decals that are missing or illegible. If the decals are missing or damaged, new ones can be obtained from your local dealer. The exact position for each safety decal is shown in this manual. If you have purchased a used tractor second-hand, check to make sure that all safety decals are in the right positions and that they are perfectly legible.
Use of the tractor on public roads USA and Canada only When driving the tractor and its implements on main and secondary roads (at a speed of no more than 40 kph (25 mph), by day or by night, turn on the side lights and display a Slow-Moving Vehicle sign. In most places, the use of flashing amber warning lights is permitted. In some areas however, use of these lights is forbidden by law. Make sure you are familiar with local legal requirements for warning lights and vehicle identification symbols when driving on main roads. Use the safety chain. Consult the operator's instruction manual provided with the implement or the farming machine attached to your tractor.
All other countries Make sure you are familiar with the traffic regulations and abide by statutory regulations when driving your tractor on public roads, with or without any implements in tow. Always observe any regulations concerning the transport of projecting equipment or loads.

WHY IS SAFETY IMPORTANT FOR YOU? ACCIDENTS CAN MAIM OR KILL ACCIDENTS ARE COSTLY ACCIDENTS ARE AVOIDABLE Safety on the tractor and implement The tractor is a source of - Mechanical power - Hydraulic power. On its own, a tractor is of little practical value. Only when it is used with an implement or other equipment does it become a working unit. This manual has been written to explain safe working practices that must be applied when using the tractor. It does not cover all safety operations and instructions for all available implements and equipment that may be fitted at the time of delivery or at some later date. The operator must understand and abide by the instructions provided in the manuals of such implements and equipment.
Safety: introduction The safety section of your Operation and Maintenance manual intends to highlight and point out some of the safety situations that you may come across during normal use and maintenance of your tractor and to suggest ways of dealing with these circumstances. This section does NOT substitute any other safety regulations mentioned in other parts of this manual. Extra precautions may be necessary depending on the implements being used and the operating conditions at the work site or in the service area. MCCORMICK has no direct control over the applications, operations, inspection, lubrication or maintenance of the tractor and it is thus YOUR responsibility to follow good safety practices at all times.

Follow the safety regulations For safe operation For safe operation, only fully qualified and authorized operators are to use tractors. To qualify as an operator, you must understand the instructions in this manual, have training and know and understand the relevant safety and work regulations. For example, some regulations specify that nobody under the age of 16 may use a work vehicle: this includes tractors. It is your responsibility to know these regulations and to comply with them at all times. They include the following instructions for using the tractor safely. WARNING: The operator must never use alcohol or drugs that can affect his attention or the coordination of his movements. An operator who is prescribed narcotics or who uses them in controlled amounts must have medical authorization to use the tractor in conditions of safety.
