 Main table of contents

The Operator’s Manual is divided into 12 main parts, using the letters A, B, C ... L. These are futher sub divided
into number sections. There are four levels of titles. E.g. on the marking D.1.3 the letter D tells that it is the main
part D, Instruments and controls. The first number 1 (see detailed table of contents) tells that it is the illustration
section of the instruments and controls part, etc.
The detailed table of contents provides a lettering, a numbering and page system. The bottom of each page
displays a reference to the main part of the manual it is in.

This Operator’s Manual is primarily intended for drivers of VALTRA power
shuttle tractors.
The manual contains detailed instructions for driving, operating and
maintaining the tractor. Make sure your new tractor is always handled and
maintained in the correct way which will ensure reliability and provide
economical operation for many years. You can also get more information from
Valtra Internet pages (www.valtra.com) about e.g. how to use the transmission
and driving.
This Operator’s Manual is only for agricultural tractors. If the tractor is used for
other applications, it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure compliance
with local regulations. In this case always contact your Valtra dealer first.
In this manual, information which refers to more than one model is given as
e.g. T121h--T171h this refers to the models T121h--T171h =T121h, T131h,
T151eh, T161h and T171h.
Alternative equipment in the book means equipment, which can be selected
when ordering the tractor. This equipment can not easily be fitted at a later
time to the tractor. Extra equipment means the equipment, which can be
bought and mounted at a later time to the tractor.
We recommend that you read the manual thoroughly. Follow the maintenance
program carefully and include the daily maintenance in your normal routine.
Maintenance, repairs and adjustments which are not described in this
Operator’s Manual require the use of special tools and exact technical data.
For such work you should contact your dealer who has specially trained
personnel to help you. Only use genuine Valtra spare parts for optimum
performance from your tractor. You should order spare parts according to the
instructions given in the illustrated parts catalogue.
Due to the continual development of Valtra products, the content of this manual
may not always correspond to the new product. Therefore, we retain the right
to make alterations without prior notification.
Please note: when using the tractor you must always follow all
valid laws and regulations even, if they are not specifically
pointed out in this manual.

 B. Safety precautions
B 1. Safety rules
This section summarizes the regulations which must
always be followed when working with the tractor.
However, these regulations do not exempt the driver from
statutory and other national regulations as regards traffic
safety and occupational health and safety.
Safety regulations applicable for different types of working
sites and existing road traffic laws must always be
followed.
When designing the tractor priority was given to the safety
of the operator. Steps and handles have been placed with
ease of entry into the cab in mind. The tractor has several
safety features eg: guards for belts and pulleys etc.
1 Danger, Warning, Caution --- Whenever you see the
words and symbols shown below, used in this book and
on decals, you MUST take note of their instructions as
they relate to personal safety.
DANGER: This symbol together with the
word DANGER indicates an imminently
hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will
result in DEATH OR VERY SERIOUS
INJURY.
WARNING: This symbol together with the
word WARNING indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that if not avoided
could result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
CAUTION: This symbol together with the
word CAUTION is used to indicate a
potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in MINOR INJURY.
IMPORTANT: The word IMPORTANT is used to identify
special instructions or procedures which, if not strictly
observed, could result in damage to, or destruction of the
machine, process or its surroundings.
NOTE: The word NOTE is used to indicate points of
particular interest for more efficient and convenient repair
or operation.
Decals
WARNING: DO NOT remove or obscure
Danger, Warning, Caution or Instruction
Decals. Replace any Danger, Warning,
Caution or Instruction Decals that are not
readable or are missing. Replacement
decals are available from your Dealer in the
event of loss or damage. The actual location
of these Safety Decals is illustrated at the
end of this section.
2 Tractor construction --- The tractor construction must
not be changed (f.ex. max. driving speed, max. power
etc.) The tractor is type approved to comply with construc-
tion and use regulations. Any changes to the tractor may
reduce the safety and durability and affect the warranty
terms.
---7---
3 Brakes --- Always check that the brakes are operating
correctly before moving. The brake pedals should be
locked together when driving on the road. Extensive
repairs to the braking system should be undertaken only
by Valtra approved service personnel.
When implements or ballast weights are front end
mounted the rear axle loading is decreased:
---In these circumstances the driver should check that the
rear brakes are still effective.
---When needed use opposite ballast weights at rear
4 Children and the tractor --- Never allow children in the
cab or near the tractor or an attached implement while the
engine is running. Always lower the implement to the
ground when leaving the tractor.
1
2 T B2
5 Roof hatch (extra equipment)--- Open the hatch by
pulling the knob 1 on the handle forwards and pushing
the hatch upwards.
To open the hatch fully (for emergency exit) detach the
gas spring upper end 2 from its fastener and push the
hatch fully open.
WARNING: When driving on ice it is
recommended to keep the roof hatch open.
6 Passengers --- No passenger may ride on the tractor
unless it is provided with a special seat. Any passenger
must not ride on the platform placed in the tractor. Other
personal transport, for example, on front---mounted
loaders, is not permissible.
7 Caution --- Hold on to the steering wheel or safety
handles in the cab if the tractor tips over. Never try to jump
out.
8 Maintenance --- The driver is responsible for following
the maintenance instructions in this Manual and the safety
regulations applicable to the tractor. No maintenance
work is to be carried out on the tractor or implement
unless the engine is stopped and the implement lowered.
9 Lending --- Never lend the tractor to a person who is not
used to driving it. You may be held responsible for any
resulting accidents.
B. Safety precautions
10 Lights --- Always make sure that the lights and
reflectors are clean and in working order. Do not forget
that the headlights must be correctly adjusted.
T B3
11 Carbon monoxide --- Never start the engine, or run it
indoors while the doors are closed as this may lead to
carbon monoxide poisoning.
12 Downhill --- Never drive downhill with the gear lever in
neutral or the clutch pedal pressed down. Check the
brakes often. Always change down to a lower gear before
driving down a steep incline. When driving downhill do not
brake continuously --- Danger of overheating the
brakes! Do not let the engine over run to avoid damage to
the engine.
13 Running speed --- Adjust the speed to suit the driving
surface, visibility and load. Avoid any sudden increase or
reduction (braking) in the running speed as well as tight
turns at high speed. If care is not taken the tractor may tip
over or the load may be displaced.
IMPORTANT: The maximum speed of the tractor must
not be altered. Maximum operating forward speed is 40
Km/h (traffic tractors 50 Km/h), for safety the maximum
operating speed in reverse is 20 Km/h.
14 Power take ---off driven attachments --- When running
with power take---off driven attachments or machines it is
very important that the prescribed safety devices are used
and that they are in good condition. Serious accidents
have occurred due to failure to use the prescribed
safety devices. Follow the directions given by the
implement or machine manufacturer.
15 Check links --- When transporting implements using
the three---point linkage, the check links must be locked
with pins.
16 Emergency exits --- The cab is provided with four
emergency exits. These are the doors, the rear window
and the roof hatch (extra equipment).
17 Stairs --- Keep the stairs clean. Build up of dirt can cau-
se slippery conditions and can cause injury.
18 Trailer load --- On tractors with trailers the load must
be properly secured. The load must not obstruct the
driver’s vision or cover lights and reflectors. Loads which
project more than 1 m (39 in) behind the vehicle train
must be suitably marked. During day-time this should be
B. Safety precautions
done with a flag and during darkness with a red light and
reflector arrangement.
19 Trailer --- A trailer should only be coupled to the
drawbar. A loaded drawbar must always be lowered with
the hydraulic lift. Check that trailer brakes are operating
properly and observe any special instructions issued by
the trailer manufacturer.
WARNING: When the tractor is towing a
trailer the brake pedals must be locked
together. The brakes are not to be used
individually for steering.
WARNING: When using a trailer make sure
that the hitch latch is locked.
WARNING: When using the trailer always
use the brakes, if the law requires.The
trailer brakes are recommended to use in 50
km/h models also in those countries, where
it is not required by the law.
20 Front ---end loader --- When working with a front
loader, be sure that no one is in the working area. There is
a danger that the tractor may tip over when the loader is
lifted. The driver should put the front---end loader in the
down position before leaving the tractor. Any special
instructions issued by the loader manufacturer should
also be observed.
21 Running --- Before driving always check that the tractor
is in a safe condition for driving on the road. Rear view
mirrors should be adjusted to give the correct viewing
angle before setting off. When towing an implement
whose centre of gravity is located at a significant distance
behind the tractor, the driver should remember that there
may be considerable sway during cornering.
22 Differential lock --- The differential lock must only be
used when running on loose or slippery ground.
T B5
23 Ballast weights --- When driving on the road at least
20 % of the gross weight of the tractor must be on the
front axle. When lifting an implement the weight on the
front end of the tractor is reduced, and the steering ability
of the tractor is impaired or sometimes lost. Therefore
sufficient ballast weights should be carried. Ballast
weights should be mounted only at the points intended for
this purpose.
24 Attaching implements --- Care must be taken when
implements are being attached. There is a risk of an
accident if the tractor or implement should move. It is only
safe to enter the space between the tractor and the
---8---
implement if the parking brake is applied or the wheels
blocked in order to prevent the tractor from moving.
25 Damage --- The driver is responsible for seeing to the
repair of any damage or wear which might endanger the
safety of the tractor.
WARNING: If damage occurs to the cab, all
parts affected should be replaced with new
ones. No repair work (welding, drilling,
cutting, or grinding) should be attempted.
T B6
26 Triangle for slow vehicle (SMV ---Slow Moving
Vehicle) --- When driving on public roads always use the
SMV emblem on the rear end of the tractor. Also use the
rotating light where required by law.
M B1
27 Mobile phones --- Mobile phones may cause failure for
the electric linkage function. A mobile phone can not be
kept inside the cab, especially above the right side panel.
When using a mobile phone in the tractor it is
recommended that it is connected to the outside antenna.
---9---
N B3
28 Radar --- DO NOT to go under a tractor which has
radar (slip control models) until the ignition switch has
been turned off. --- this presents a hazard to your eyes.
29 Hydraulic/fuel pressure --- Oil/fuel under high
pressure easily penetrates through clothing and skin and
can cause serious injury. Never attempt to locate a leak in
the hydraulic system or attempt to close a leak using any
part of your body.
30 Implements maintenance --- Implements connected to
the linkage or the auxiliary hydraulic system must be
lowered to the ground during maintenance.
31 Motor noise --- When you are operating the engine or
working near it, use hearing protectors to avoid noise
injuries.
32 Naked flames and smoking --- Naked flames,
smoking and sparks are prohibited near the fuel system
and batteries. (Specially, when charging batteries,
explosive gases present).
33 Cleaning --- Keep the tractor clean (cleaning
instructions see on page 116). Avoid the risk of fire by
throughly cleaning before use!
34 By a fire --- At temperatures in excess of 300˚ C, e.g. if
the engine is on fire, the viton seals of the engine (e.g the
undermost 0---ring of the oil pressure regulating value)
produce very highly corrosive hydrofluoric acid. Do not
touch with your bare hands, viton seals which have been
subjected to abnormally high temperatures. Always use
neoprene rubber or heavy duty gloves and safety glasses
when decontaminating. Wash seals and the contaminated
area with 10 % calcium hydroxide or other alkali solution.
Put all the removed material in sealed plastic bags and
deliver them to the point stated by the Authorities
concerned.
WARNING: Never destroy viton ---seals by
burning!
35 Engine stop and restart --- If the engine has stalled
eg. due too heavy loading, turn the ignition switch to the
STOP position. Restart the engine according to the start-
ing instructions. Keep an eye on the indicator lights on the
instrument panel.
36 Quick couplings for lower links --- Clean, if necessary
the quick couplings and ball joints for the lower links befo-
re attaching the implement. DANGER OF THE IMPLE-
MENT RELEASING!

C 2. Service
In order to function satisfactorily the tractor must be
properly maintained. The necessary daily lubrication and
routine checks, can, of course, be carried out by the
driver.
Where adjustments and repairs are necessary which
require the attention of a qualified mechanic and the use
of special tools, it is advisable to rely on a workshop. In
this case we advise you to consult your local dealer as to
how your tractor should be looked after as he is in a
position to give you the best possible service. Through T1LS C6

service bulletins and special training courses he is kept

constantly informed of the factory’s recommendations
regarding care of the tractor. T121c---T171c and T121h
The tractors have 4---stroke, 4 valves, six---cylinder, turbo-
C 2.1. Cost---free service charged and intercoolered common rail direct injection
diesel engines.

Before leaving the factory the tractor was thoroughly T131h---T191h

tested and adjusted to ensure it is in first-class condition
when delivered to you. However, it is important that the
tractor is given further checks during the first period of
operation.
Bolts must be checked for tightness, various settings
inspected and other minor adjustments made. Your dealer
therefore provides a cost---free service inspection
(excluding oil and filter costs) after 100 hours running.
The tractors have 4---stroke, 4 valves, six---cylinder, turbo-
charged and intercoolered multi power common rail direct
injection diesel engines.
Two power ranges
--- The models T131h, T151eh, T161h, T171h have also a
larger transport boost power area, when the main gear
is H2 or higher.
Two engine running speed ranges
--- On the model T151eh it is possible to choose either
standard engine range (max. 2200 r/min) or low engine
range (max. 1800 r/min) with the “ECO” switch. On the
low engine range the fuel consumption, and the emissi-
ons are lower and the noise will be reduced. On the low

C. General description ---14---

 engine range there is also Transport boost range in use.
Three power ranges
--- The model T191h has a larger transport boost power
area, when the main gear is H2 or higher and Powershift
boost area, when quick---shift is 2 or 3. The trans boost
and Powershift boost power areas are equal. The lar-
gest Sigma Power area with all gears is in use, when the
power transferred through the power---take---off is large
enough. The symbol is illuminated in the instru-
ment panel.
The principle of the turbocharged engine is that exhaust
gases from the engine cylinders drive the turbo unit which
forces air into the cylinders. This means that higher power
output can be obtained with economical fuel
consumption. On intercooler models cooled inlet air is fed
into the cylinders.
The engine induction air passes through the air filter and a
safety filter inside the air filter. The air intake system has
an effective ejector system, most of the impurities are
removed before they reach the filter by the exhaust fume
flow. The safety filter prevents the engine being damaged
if the main filter fails.
Electronic engine
C 3.1.
management (EEM)
The electronic engine management includes a controller
installed on the engine (EC).
The electronic engine management improves the
technical features of the engine such as fuel efficiency,
power, torque and cold starting. It also reduces emissions
and noise.
C 3.2.Common Rail
In the Common Rail system the injection pump has been
replaced with the high---pressure pump, which pumps the
amount of fuel to over 1000 bar pressure, to the high
pressure accumulator (rail), common for all cylinders. The
high---pressure fuel injects to the cylinders through the
electric controlled injectors. The Common Rail system
makes it possible to develop quiet---running, economic
engines featuring, reduced emissions and noise,
especially by lower rotating speeds.

These engines have lower fuel consumption and cleaner

exhaust gases.

so there is no need to use the foot clutch pedal.
C 4.1. Clutch Traditional use of clutch pedal is however always possible.

Tc models

N C10

The clutch is disengaged hydraulically and is coupled to

the flywheel. It has a single dry disc with a diaphragm
spring. The clutch disc diameter is 330 mm. The disc
material is organic. Clutch disc vibration damping has
been improved. This causes lower noise levels and
setting---off is now smoother. The clutch operates by fluid
and is self adjusting. As extra equipment it is available to
have the push buttons for HiShift for making driving easier

---15--- C. General description

 C 4.2. HiTech power shuttle
Th models
In tractors with the HiTech power shuttle unit the
traditional forward/reverse gear lever is replaced with a
shuttle lever beside the steering wheel.
By moving the shuttle lever forwards or backwards (the
centre position is neutral) you get a gentle and light
shuttle operation without using the clutch pedal. Use of
the clutch pedal for shuttle operation is still possible.
The power shuttle is placed between the gearbox and the
Powershift. It has planetary---type gear drives which are
operated by two wet multi---disc clutches, one for forward
driving and one for reverse driving. Multi disc clutches
operate at the same time as the driving clutch due to this
the tractor not having a traditional dry clutch disc.
The function of the HiTech system is controlled by the
electronic control unit of the gearbox. This means that the
electronics smoothly adjust the disengaging and
engaging pressures of the hydraulic multi---discs
according to program. This provides smooth forward and
power shuttle driving.
In addition the system has the HiShift--- operation, with
switches placed in the speed gear--- and range lever,
which controls the operation of the multi---discs when
changing gear. So it is possible to change gear without
using the clutch.
However, traditional use of clutch pedal is still possible.
C. General description
T1ch C1
C 4.3. Gearbox
The speed gearbox has four synchronized gears which
are controlled with a speed gear lever. In addition, the
gearbox has three range gears; LL=creeper range,
M=Medium range and H= High range. M and H ranges
are synchronized. All these range of gears are controlled
with one lever.
There is an EcoSpeed---function available on the models
T131h---T191h and T161c, T171c (as alternative
equipment). The EcoSpeed---function is based on the 50
km/h transmission and the highest ratio with the electric
speed limiter (40 km/h). When driving at road speeds the
fuel consumption is lower and the noise will be reduced.
Tc models
Between the power shift and gearbox there is a
forward---reverse shuttle and this is synchronized. The
forward/reverse shuttle is controlled with a separate lever.
For this reason forward/reverse changing can be made
quickly and very easily e.g when loading work is carried
out.
---16---

C 4.4. Powershift
In addition in front of the gearbox is a 3---step quick---shift
gear, the Powershift (PS).
The main gearbox has 12 forward speeds and 12 re-
verse speeds. The 3---step Powershift gear on tractors
give 36 gears forward and 36 reverse gears.
Shafts and gearwheels in the gearbox are pressure lubri-
cated.
Tc models
The Powershift is controlled with electric push buttons
placed on the speed gear lever knob.
Th models
Control of the Powershift function is also controlled by the
electronic control unit, at which time the gearing is
selected according to the driving conditions.
Manual control of the Powershift--- gears is done with the
push buttons on the gear lever. The driver can choose
from the system, preprogrammed automatic functions of
Powershift for different driving conditions and power
shuttle.
The digital display panel in the tractor keeps the driver
informed at all times by displaying the status of different
operations, e.g. driving direction, which of the
Powershift--- gears is engaged, chosen automatic
operations, outdoor temperature, suggests when to
change to a lower or higher gear, it also shows when the
PTO is engaged and indicates any possible fault with a
fault code.
C 4.5. Rear axle
The rear axle is fitted directly to the gearbox. The
differential lock in the rear axle is electro---hydraulically
controlled. When it is engaged, pressurized oil is pumped
to the multi---disc differential clutch, and this causes the
differential to lock. When the brake pedal is pressed the
differential lock is automatically disengaged. An indicator
lamp on the instrument panel lights when the differential
lock is engaged.
Final drives are of the planetary gear type. From the
planetary gears power is transmitted to the rear wheels.
C 4.6. Powered front axle
M C7
The powered front axle is driven from the gearbox bevel
pinion shaft front end.
Front wheel drive can be engaged and disengaged
---17---
electro---hydraulically. When 4WD is engaged the springs
force the discs together and four---wheel drive engages.
Consequently the 4WD is always engaged when the
engine is stopped (multi---disc clutch not pressurized).
In addition when braking, the front---wheel drive always
engages in order to provide the braking function for the
front wheels.
The front axle is also equipped with an automatic
differential brake. Simultaneously electro hydraulically
controlled front axle differential lock is available as
alternative equipment.
In all tractors is available as alternative equipment an in-
dustrial front axle allowing larger axle loading (on the mo-
dels T161c---T171c and T151eh---T191h as standard).
An air suspensioned front axle is also available as extra
equipment on all models.
C 4.7. Power take---off
T C11
The PTO rotating speed is selected with a lever, which can
select either 540 r/min or 1000 r/min nominal rotating
speed. Engagement and disengagement is electro---
hydraulically through a different button. It is also possible
as alternative equipment to have a 540E (750) r/min PTO .
Th models
The control unit of the gearbox also controls the function
of the power take---off. This makes the power take---off
engagement smooth without loading the implement. The
display shows a symbol if the power take---off shaft is
rotating.
The tractor T191h is a Sigma Power model, whose princi-
pal function is, that the tractor power take---off has been
constructed to transfer larger output and torque than the
tractor driving transmission. The engine has three different
output and torque areas. The power ranges are controlled
automatically through an electric system.
All models
The power take---off shaft is easy to change. As standard
the tractor is provided with a 6---spline shaft and as extra
C. General description
equipment shafts with 21---, 20---, 6--- or 8 splines for
greater torque can be fitted on the tractor. As alternative
equipment a ground speed PTO is also available.

C 5.1. Unboosted system
T121c---T131c and T121h---T131h
The oil bath multi---disc brakes are located on the rear
axle between the differential and final drives. The brakes
operate hydraulically from the brake pedals. When both
brake pedals are depressed the front wheel drive is en-
gaged automatically in order to provide braking function
at the front wheels. The pedals can be connected together
and used as running brakes or separated and used indi-
vidually as steering brakes. The brakes can be adjusted
by means of adjusting nuts which are fitted on the rear
axle.
C. General description
The front power take---off is available as extra equipment
(with front linkage). The front PTO shaft nominal rotating
speed is 1000 r/min and the shaft is 6---spline.
Brakes
T1ch C2
T121h---T131h
The parking brake is electro---hydraulic and is controlled
with a shuttle lever. When engaging the parking brake, the
pressure exhausts from the cylinder operate the parking
brake and a strong spring engages the tractor brakes. At
the same time the control unit disengages the trans-
mission. With this system the tractor brakes are always on
when the engine is not running.
T121c---T131c
The parking brake is mechanically operated and it acts on
the foot brakes.

The oil bath boosted multi---disc brakes are located on the
rear axle between the differential and final drives. The bra-
kes operate hydraulically from the brake pedals boosted
by the low pressure hydraulic. There is no separate brake
fluid in the brake system. The system uses transmission/
hydraulics oil. The system is equipped with a pressure
accumulator, which makes it possible to brake after the
engine has stopped. When both brake pedals are depres-
sed the front wheel drive is engaged automatically (4WD
indicator lamp lights on instrument panel) in order to pro-
vide braking function at the front wheels. The pedals can
be connected together and used as running brakes or
separated and used individually as steering brakes. The
brakes can be adjusted by means of adjusting nuts, which
are fitted on the rear axle.
The parking brake is electro---hydraulic and is controlled
with the shuttle lever. When engaging the parking brake
(parking brake and 4WD indicator lamps light on instru-
ment panel), the pressure exhausts from the cylinder ope-
rating the parking brake and a strong spring engages the
tractor brakes. At the same time the control unit disenga-
ges the transmission. With this system the tractor brakes
are always on when the engine is not running.
All models
A hydraulic--- and air pressure valve is available as extra
equipment for the trailer brake operation.

steering valve will act as a pump.
The tractor hydraulic system has a priority valve which
ensures that there is always sufficient oil for the steering
system.

M C8

The tractor has a hydrostatic steering system so that

steering movement is transmitted from the steering wheel
by oil under pressure to the front axle. This makes
steering particularly easy.
