Dieci Agri Farmer 26.6, Agri Farmer 26.8, Agri Farmer 28.7, Agri Farmer 28.9, Agri Farmer 30.7 2011 Operators Manual

I’ve been doing this job long enough to tell you that aftermarket manuals are trash for telescopic handlers. You get a vague diagram, some generic torque that doesn’t match the actual hardware, and then you’re chasing leaks or worse — popping a hydraulic line because the retorque sequence was wrong. Dieci Agri Farmer 26.6, Agri Farmer 26.8, Agri Farmer 28.7, Agri Farmer 28.9, Agri Farmer 30.7 2011 Operators Manual is the real thing. The factory book that was sitting in the cab when this machine left Montecchio Emilia. 272 pages, published March 2011, Part Number AXH1152/UK. If you’re running any of these Agri Farmer models and you don’t have this manual in the glovebox, you’re gambling with your time and your equipment.

272 Pages of Factory Procedure

This manual covers the operation and maintenance for five specific Dieci models: Agri Farmer 26.6, Agri Farmer 26.8, Agri Farmer 28.7, Agri Farmer 28.9, and Agri Farmer 30.7. It also includes the Agri Farmer 30.9 variant per the original document. You get CHAPTER “A” — Introduction, Guarantee, Vehicle Identification — which tells you exactly where to find the serial number on the chassis and on the telescopic boom. That’s critical when ordering parts. CHAPTER “B” runs through Safety Regulations in full: from acknowledging warning notices to load handling, road travel, hoisting the machine, and transporting. There is no generic translation garbage here — Dieci wrote this in English for the UK market originally, and it’s the direct translation of the original Italian instructions.

Safety Regulations in Chapter B – Why It Matters on the Job

You will find sections on protective clothing, inspecting the vehicle before start-up, preparation for emergencies, and first aid. But the meat is in load handling and safe operation. This manual gives you the OEM procedure for parking the vehicle, temporary halt, and road travel instructions including what to do when you’re moving the machine on public roads. It even covers electromagnetic interference — something most operators never think about until a radio transmitter fries a control board. If you’re working on a farm or construction site with high-voltage lines, you need that section.

Vehicle Identification and Guarantee Info

CHAPTER “A” also includes the guarantee terms and the declaration of conformity. Page A/6 shows the vehicle identification number location. Page A/7 shows the telescopic lift identification. If you’ve ever tried to order a part without knowing the exact serial number, you know the pain of getting the wrong cylinder or hose assembly. This manual eliminates that guesswork.

Does This Manual Cover the Agri Farmer 30.7 and 30.9?

Yes. The manual explicitly lists Agri Farmer 26.6, 26.8, 28.7, 28.9, 30.7, and 30.9 on the title page. All use the same operation and maintenance procedures with differences noted where applicable. If you need the exact torque specs for the wheel nuts or the hydraulic system pressures, those are in the engine and equipment supplement manuals referenced in the documentation pack. The operators manual tells you how to operate and maintain the base machine — not how to rebuild the engine. That’s what the separate engine manual is for, and Dieci includes a copy of that with every new machine as stated on page 3 of this document.

OEM Documentation vs. Aftermarket Copies

I have seen reprints that miss entire sections — especially the safety warnings and the identification pages. This is a direct OEM scan from the original Dieci publication. The page numbers, the warnings about non-original spare parts, the service department phone numbers — all intact. The aftermarket guys will tell you their version is “the same” until you spot a missing torque table or a mislabeled control lever. Don’t waste your time. You can also pair this with the Dieci Agri Farmer 28/30/32 Series Operator Manual 2013 for the newer updates, or get the Dieci Agri Farmer 26.6 Parts Catalog – OEM Spare Parts Manual and Dieci Agri Farmer 28.7 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Spare Parts Manual for parts breakdowns. For background on how a Manual Transmission works in these machines, you can check the manufacturer website, but the internal gearbox procedures are in the service manual — this operators manual gives you the basics.

Load Handling and Road Travel Procedures

Pages B/14 through B/17 cover load handling, parking, temporary halt, road travel, hoisting, and transporting the machine. If you ever need to transport a Dieci Agri Farmer on a trailer, the hoisting points and tie-down locations are illustrated. The manual explicitly states: “A copy of this manual must always be in the vehicle for the driver’s reference.” That’s a legal requirement in many jurisdictions. Having the factory document with you keeps you compliant.

Is this manual specific to the 2011 model year?

Yes. The publication date is March 2011 (Issue 2). Covers all Agri Farmer models produced up to that date.

What kind of torque specs does it include?

The operators manual does not contain engine or driveline torque tables — those are in the separate engine maintenance manual that Dieci supplies with each machine. However, it does include the safety-critical load capacities, boom extension limits, and tire pressure specifications for road travel. For wheel lug nut torques and chassis bolt torques, you need the service repair manual. This document is the operators manual, so focus is on safe operation and daily/periodic maintenance procedures defined by the factory. If you want a Manual Transmission breakdown, you’ll want to get the service manual for the specific drivetrain.

Bottom line: if you own any of these Dieci telescopic handlers and you don’t have the factory operators manual in the cab, you’re flying blind. The safety procedures alone are worth the price of admission. Download the Factory Manual now and keep it with the machine where it belongs.
