SAFETY POINTS Always lock the two foot brake
pedals together when running on the
highway. Always ensure that PTO driven
implements are not run faster than their designed
speed or a dangerous mechanical failure may
result. This is especially so with lightly loaded
540 rev/min implements driven in high PTO ratio
at 1100 rev/min engine speed. For maximum safety
the low ratio is recommended. Always ensure the
PTO (and Belt Pulley when fitted) is adequately
guarded. Always remove loose clothing when
working near moving parts of the tractor, engine
and implements, or ensure that it is adequately
fastened or tied up. Always remove the
ignition/starter key from the tractor when
leaving it unattended, especially where children
have access. Always operate the steering and
driving controls with care, for example Dont
swerve or turn sharply at speed. Dont let the
clutch in suddenly going up hill or the tractor
may rear up. Dont brake fiercely, especially
going backwards down hill. Always take extra
care on steeply sloping ground. Move cautiously,
as the sudden swing of a heavy implement, or pull
of a trailer, may cause trouble. Always make
sure before turning that there is room for any
mounted implement which will swing outwards at
the rear. Always hitch trailers to the approved
drawbar or pick-up hitch which is below the
centre line of the rear axle. Do not hitch above
the centre line. Always tow the tractor
carefully. When towing by rope with a dead
engine, power steering will be inoperative and
the steering will be very difficult to turn. 2

IMPORTANT DON'TS Do Not carry passengers on the
linkages or on the tractor, except in an approved
passenger seat. Do N ot drill into the safety
frame or cab. Note Any damaged parts should be
replaced immediately with new parts. Bent parts
should not be straightened but replaced and no
welding should be attempted on the safety frame.
Bolts when replaced, must be of the correct
tensile strength. After any accident to a safety
frame it is advisable to report this to your
local safety officer.
Do Not
lift the tractor by the cab lifting hooks. These
are designed only for removing a cab from the
tractor.

INTRODUCTION We recommend that even the most
experienced tractor user reads the Operation and
Regular Maintenance sections of this book before
commencing operations with his new tractor. The
various tasks can in fact be performed by any but
the complete novice, but this book details the
easiest, quickest ar.d most efficient ways of
carrying them out. The most important aspect,
however, is safety, because a tractor can be a
dangerous machine if handled without due caution.
Knowledge gained beforehand from this book can
prevent accidents. The 1210 tractor is fitted
with the David Brown synchromesh gearbox which
allows on-the-move gear changes to be made
between the most useful ratios. The 1212
Hydra-Shift tractor incorporates a semi
-automatic transmission which gives on-the-move
clutchless gear changes to any of four ratios in
each of three forward ranges and one reverse
range. This system, developed by David Brown
engineers is renowned for simplicity in operation
and ease of servicing and won the Queen's Award
for Technological Achievement in 1974. The 1210
4-wheel drive (4 WD) in addition the synchromesh
gearbox, also provides on-the-move engagement of
front wheel drive, giving instant extra traction
precisely when needed. Note that instructions
relating to 1wo different 1210 4 WD models are
included in this book. The Selene model is
the version available in the UK and Ireland
while the Kramer model is available in other
countries. All three tractor models incorporate
the Selectamatic Hydraulic system, first
introduced by David Brown in 1965, and which has
proved exceptionally reliable and simple to
operate. Here it is served by a fully-live pump
driven from the front of the engine crankshaft.
The David Brown 4-cylinder diesel engine,
carefully matched to the different transmissions
maintains the David Brown reputation for low fuel
consumption and ease of starting. Whichever
model from this series of tractors you have
chosen to fulfil your particular requirements, it
will amply repay the user provided that the
simple maintenance routines outlined in this book
are carried out regularly. 4

TAKE SPECIAL CARE OF YOUR NEW TRACTOR Although
every engine is tested and run-in at the factory,
care should be taken during the first 25 to 50
hours' use. Avoid excessive speeds or loading. Do
not allow the engine to labour unduly, instead
change to a lower gear. Use the middle range of
engine speeds from 1200 to 1800 rev/min.
Prolonged light load should also be avoided as
this might lead to cylinder wall glazing with
consequent high oil consumption. Best running-in
is achieved by alternating between low/medium
and high (not maximum) loading.

• FIRST SERVICE (50/100 HOURS)
• The first service should be done by a David Brown
  dealer who will carry out a full check on the
  tractor. The main essentials in this service are
  
• Change the fuel filter element.
• Change the engine oil and filter element.
• The transmission gearbox should be flushed and
  the wire mesh and magnetic filter cleaned. A new
  paper filter element should be fitted and the
  gearbox refilled with new oil.
• NOTEOn 1212 tractors there is an additional wire
  mesh filter for the gearbox which should also be
  washed clean.
• Change the.oil in the final drive reduction
  housings.
• Check the tightness of cylinder head bolts and
  the valve clearances, and the tightness of main
  external nuts and bolts especially rear wheel
  nuts.
• NOTE To remove any contaminants which may build
  up in the oil due to initial bedding in, it is
  essential to drain the transmission oil and
  refill with new oil at the 50/100 hour service
  (see pages 80 to 83).

Engine oil warning light The green light is
illuminated when oil pressure is too low. Ensure
that it lights when the isolating switch is
turned on and goes out when the engine runs. 12
18
Charge warning light The red light is illuminated
when the isolating switch is turned on but should
extinguish as soon as the dynamo or alternator
commences to charge. Transmission filter warning
lamp When the fall in pressure across the full
flow filter element in the hydraulic system is
high enough to open the filter by-pass valve and
allow oil to by-pass the filter element, the
yellow warning lamp illuminates. This may occur
(a) when the filter element is blocked with dirt
and requires changing for a new one or (b) when
the oil is cold and engine speed is high. It is
also arranged to light when the isolating switch
is lurned on and the driver should check that the
bulb is intact each time before starting the
engine. A faulty bulb should be replaced as soon
as it fails. If the bulb glows or flicIers at
idling speeds, this should be ignored. The
warning lamp may illuminate at less than full
engine speeds when the oil is cold. The engine
speed should be adjusted so that the lighl is not
kept on for more than a few minutes otherwise
proper filtering of the oil will not tale
place. As the filter element becomes blocked with
dirt, the warning light will come on at
progressively lower engine speeds so that, even
when the oil is warm, full working speed may not
be achieved without causing the bulb to
light. When the bulb lights at 1800 rev/min after
a warming up period of 30 minutes the full flow
filter element must be changed for a new one at
the first opportunity.

• Light Switch
• This has 4 positions
• Off
• Side and tail
• Side, lail and head (low beam)
• Side, tail and head (high beam)
• The rear plough lamp is controlled by its own
  switch, mounted on the lamp housing. The lamp can
  be switched on when the main light switch on the
  instrument panel is in any of the positions 2, 3
  or 4.

Engine speed indicator The engine speed indicator
(rev counter) fitted to the instrument panel,
shows the engine revolutions per minute and
should be used in conjunction with the chart
attached to the bonnet (hood) in order to
determine the travel speed of the tractor (see
Fig. 1/2). The engine speed is marked along the
bottom edge of the chart. An imaginary vertical
line projected upwards will cross the various
horizontal gear bands at the appropriate speed.
The travel speed in any gear can, therefore, be
obtained by first reading the engine speed
indicator and transferring to the
chart. Alternatively, any required travel speed
in an appropriate gear can be projected downwards
and the necessary engine speed determined. The
throttle can then be set to give the required
engine speed as observed on the engine speed
indicator.

C. Red line at 540 rev Amin PTO in high ratio
Alternative charts are available showing speeds
in iniIelt or kmh and to suit different wheel
sizes and final drive ratios.
Use of the chart for pto work is facilitated by
the provision of two red vertical lines
corresponding to the high pto ratio and a blue
line for the low pto ratio. Each line is marlced
immediately above the engine speed with the ratio
(high or low) and the pto speed (540 or 1000).
Therefore, having decided which pto speed and
ratio is required for the type of work in hand,
it is only necessary to inspect the appropriate
vertical coloured line and note which horizontal
band bears the nearest desired travel speed and
choose the gear ratio shown at the left-hand
edge. 14

The speed chart gives accurate speeds for the
tyres fitted to the tractor when new. If it is
desired to fit tyres of a different size, it is
only necessary to obtain a new chart from your
dealer for fixing to the bonnet top. The belt
pulley should be used at a PTO speed of 1000
rev/min B, Fig. 1/2. Direction indicator switch
(if fitted) Move the switch to the left to
operate the left-hand flashers and vice versa. Do
not forget to return the switch to centre
position after use. Hazard warning switch (if
fitted) When the switch is pulled out all four
flashers work together. This is useful when
working on the highway at very slow speeds. Make
sure it is switched off before proceeding
normally on the road. Engine stop control This
cuts off the fuel supply to the injectors. Never
let the tank run dry. This allows air 1o enter
the system and is very difficult to get rid
of. Before starting the engine pull out the stop
control and lower into the retaining slot. To
stop lift the knob and allow it to move forward.
