INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to assist Dealers and Distributors in the efficient repair and maintenance of AGCO farm machinery. Carrying out the procedures as detailed, together with the use of special tools where appropriate, will enable the operations to be completed within the time stated in the Repair Time Schedule. To assist with locating information, each section of the manual is preceded by a contents page listing the operations. Each instruction within an operation has a sequence number, and to complete the operation in the minimum time it is essential that these instructions are performed in numerical sequence commencing at 1, unless otherwise stated. When applicable, these sequence numbers identify the components in the appropriate illustration. Where an operation requires the use of a special tool, the tool number is quoted under the operation heading and is repeated in, or following, the instruction involving its use.
Indexing
For convenience, the manual is divided into sections and parts, each page bearing a section and part number. The sections are subdivided into numbered operations. Example: 1-7A would be Operation 1 in Section 7, Part A. This simplifies cross-referencing and enables the subject to be found easily.
