ward

1. Raising of the boom
2. Lowering of the boom
3. LEFT hand side boom tilt UP
4. LEFT hand side boom tilt DOWN
5. RIGHT hand side boom tilt UP
6. RIGHT hand side boom tilt DOWN
7. EC operating unit ON / OFF

Fuel tank

The filling cap on the
fuel tank is located on
the machine right
hand side. Always
clean the area around
the fuel cap before
unscrewing it for refill-
ing.

It is recommended
always to refuel the
machine at the end of
the day to avoid con-
densation of water in
the fuel tank over-
night.

Straw dividers (optional extra)

The machine can be
fitted with straw divid-
ers on all four wheels
in order to reduce
crop damage during
spraying.

The straw dividers
can be fitted on the
following tyre sizes:

 • 11.2 R 32"
 • 14.9 R 24"
 • 16.9 R 24"

The front number
plate, if required, is
fitted on the engine
bonnet under the
screen. Do not fit in
the screen as it will
reduce the cooling
air flow.

Optional tyre mountings

The machine should normally only be fitted with the op-
tional rims and tyres supplied as original equipment or
rims with similar specifications and load capacities.

The maximum rim off-set is 

-80 to +150 mm

.

WARNING!

 Failure to keep this maximum off-

set may result in  broken wheel motor shafts
and can lead to serious accidents and personal

injury!

Track width

The track width is factory set at 1800, 2000 or 2250 mm
measured by standard wheel mountings. Change of
wheel sizes will alter the actual track width.

Alteration of the track width requires the front and rear
axles to be replaced.

Number plate(s)

If the machine is required to be fitted with a number
plate, this  must be placed correctly under the lamp.
