Across these chapters the manual moves through every layer of the Valtra S240 and S280 – from the cab ergonomics and the Proline instrument panel, through the electronic tractor terminal used to adjust the front and rear linkage, the auxiliary hydraulic valve blocks and the displayable functions, and out to the mechanical side of the machine: the 8.4-litre six-cylinder turbocharged intercooled direct injection diesel, the ZF T7336 L transmission with Powershift and crawler gears, the powered front axle with electro-hydraulic differential lock, and the wet multi-disc rear brakes. The maintenance and specification chapters close the loop with oil capacities, torque figures, tyre pressures, track widths and service intervals.

Working Instructions and Maintenance Detail

The working-instructions chapter is where the manual earns its place next to the operator. It walks through PTO engagement and the safety rules that go with it, trailer connections (electrical pinout, two-line and one-line pressure air brake systems, Duo-Matic), and the complete setting-up procedure for the rear three-point linkage: lift/stop/lower switch, position control, transport height, floating position, draft control, lowering and raising speeds, forced lowering, Drive Balance Control, slip control, pressure control and implement sensors. The front linkage gets its own matching set of procedures for the machines that have it fitted as extra equipment.

Daily and weekly maintenance are set out with illustrations – oil level checks, coolant, radiator grilles, pressure air reservoir draining, greasing the three-point linkage and front axle, hydraulic oil level, belt tension, fuel pre-filter, electrolyte, tyre pressures. The 500-hour cycle adds gearbox and drive gear oil checks, brake oil, cab air filters, wheel nut torque, engine oil and filter, brake pedal free travel, hydraulic pressure and return filters, front axle and hub oil levels, front PTO housing oil and rubber clutch inspection. The 1000-hour and 2000-hour lists cover gearbox and hydraulic oil changes, front axle and hub oil, cab and recirculation filters, fuel filter and pre-filter, engine air filter and safety filter, flywheel ring gear lubrication, toe-in adjustment, fuel tank cleaning, valve adjustment, hydraulic breather replacement, coolant change, brake oil change and injector checks.

Technical Specifications at a Glance

The specification chapter gives the numbers behind the machine: engine model and rating for both S240 and S280, cylinder bore and stroke, displacement, compression ratio, idling and maximum RPM, torque figures, oil pressure ranges, cooling system details, electrical system voltage and battery capacity, alternator output, starter rating, clutch type, gearbox model, Powershift ratios, drive gear reduction ratio, differential lock type, rear and front PTO speeds and shaft options, front axle ratios, brake disc dimensions, steering pressure and steering ratio, hydraulic pump outputs and pressures, and the maximum lifting power and range of movement of both the rear and front linkages. Tyre options, air pressures, track width options and wheel nut torque are all listed.

Who This Manual Suits

Owners and operators of a Valtra S240 or S280 who want the reference material in front of them instead of in a folder on a shelf. Fleet and workshop technicians who need the electro-hydraulic linkage and PTO settings, calibration procedures, active service code information and fault-code history. Anyone maintaining a secondhand S Series tractor and needing the correct intervals, capacities and torque values rather than a guess.
