GENERAL MAINTENANCE

PERIODICAL INSPECTIONS

At least once every three months:

– remove any foreign bodies from between the

evaporator and condenser fins;

– check the tension of the compressor belt;

– allow the engine to run at a rate of 1500 rpm. In

the meantime keep the dehydrator filter under
observation: the glass should be clear, without air
bubbles or white liquid.

– check the conditions of the pipes, unions and

supporting brackets;

– make sure that the drain pipes are efficient and remove

the condensation from the evaporator;

– make sure that the screws and fixing nuts of the

pulleys and compressor are well tightened.

– Grease Door Locks and Hinges

YEARLY MAINTENANCE

Have your Dealer’s specialized personnel carry out the
following operations at the beginning of the season:

– check the level of the oil in the compressor and top it

up if necessary;

– make sure that the system is tight by means of a leak

tester and top up the HFC 134a gas if necessary, or

– replace the dehydrator filter only if strictly necessary;

– carry out a functional test on the system.

If the conditioning system remains unused for a long
period of time, it must be turned on for a few minutes
each month to allow the oil to circulate around the circuit.

GENERAL CAB MAINTENANCE (ALL

VERSIONS)

After servicing the external parts of the cab, proceed with
the following inspections:

1. Periodically check to make sure that no water has

collected in the zones covered with mats or upholstery.

2. Protect the hinges and locks of the doors, sun roof

and openable windows with water-repellent lubricating
products.

3. Use special cleaning products to clean the windows,

or sulphuric ether, if necessary.

4. Detach the windscreen wiper and sprinkle talcum on

the rubber wiper.

5. Leave the doors or sun-roof partially open.

CAB UPHOLSTERY

CAUTION: Use water and a neutral detergent to
clean the polyurethane cab upholstery or the specific
products available on the market for cleaning car
interiors. Any commercial product for car upholstery
cleaning may be used.
Do NOT use any products deriving from hydrocar-
bons, ketonic or aromatic solvents, or cleaning spirits
of any kind.

SPECIFICATIONS

Coolant fluid ......................................................... R134 A

Air conditioning system reloading

-   Quantity of gas to be loaded: 1180 g (+/- 25 g)
-   Keep the gas unit steady when filling the circuit,
in order to allow for a precise reading of the gas

weight.
- Operating pressure (20 bar).

IMPORTANT:

This tractor uses a R134A coolant that does

not damage the ozone layer. Do not introduce any coolant
different from the prescribed one into the air conditioning
system. This could jeopardize the cooling power and irre-
mediably damage the system.

Check the tension of the compressor belt as indicated in
the Routine Maintenance at 250 hours.

DANGER: Wear safety garments and goggles
in case of leaks. Coolant can injury the eyes.
The coolant produces a toxic gas if it contacts
a flame.
