Operator's Manual

NOTE: 

This Operator's Manual is widely published and distributed and the availability of the attachments

indicated, whether fitted to the basic tractor or as an accessory, may vary depending on the country or

region in which the tractor is used. To find out which attachments are available in a given region, contact a

Massey Ferguson dealer.

The purpose of this manual is to enable the owner and the operator to operate the tractor appropriately

under normal conditions of use. Providing they follow the instructions carefully, the tractor will give many

years of service in the Massey Ferguson tradition.
Use for any other activity (particularly forestry work) is considered to be contrary to the intended use.
The commissioning of equipment by the Massey Ferguson dealer on the user's premises enables the

dealer to ensure that these operating and service instructions are properly understood. Always consult the

Massey Ferguson dealer if there is any part of this manual that you do not understand. It is important that

these instructions are understood and followed.
This manual does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant to the implements and

accessories that may be fitted at the time of tractor delivery or later. It is essential that operators use and

understand the Operator's Manuals relating to these implements and accessories.

IMPORTANT: 

This manual must always be kept with the tractor. For extra copies, contact your Massey Ferguson dealer.

This chapter in the Operator's Manual highlights certain basic safety-related situations that may be

encountered during normal operation and servicing of the tractor and provides the information needed to

handle these situations.
This chapter supplements any safety instructions given in other chapters of this manual.
It may be necessary to take additional precautions, depending on the implements and accessories used

and the working conditions on-site or in the service area. Massey Ferguson can under no circumstances

exercise direct control over the commissioning, operation, inspection, lubrication or servicing of the tractor.

It is therefore YOUR responsibility to take suitable safety precautions in such areas.

WARNING:
It is your responsibility to read and understand the instructions that appear in this chapter
before using the tractor.
They must then be strictly adhered to throughout the working day.

Servicing, spare parts, accessories and conditions of use

Daily servicing should become a routine, and a logbook of operating hours should be kept.
When spare parts are required, it is important to use only genuine parts. Massey Ferguson dealers supply

genuine parts and can offer advice concerning their fitting and use. The use of lower quality parts may

cause serious damage. Customers are advised only to purchase their spare parts from an approved dealer.

In the same way, you must only use accessories specifically adapted to your tractor.
Owing to the considerable variation in operating conditions, it is not possible for the manufacturer to

formulate complete or absolute assertions in its publications concerning the performance or operating

methods of its machines or to accept liability for any loss or damage which may result from such

assertions or possible errors or omissions.
If the tractor is to be used in abnormal conditions which could cause damage (use in deep water or in

paddy fields for instance), you should consult your Massey Ferguson dealer to obtain special instructions to

prevent the warranty from becoming void.
