Dieci Agri Plus 40.7 VS, Agri Plus 40.7 PS, Agri Plus 38.9 VS, Agri Plus 38.9 PS 2013 Operators Manual

You ever tear into a telehandler and realize the previous guy used a generic online spec sheet? I have. Three stripped wheel studs and a blown seal later, you learn to never trust aftermarket reprints. This is the factory Dieci Agri Plus 40.7 VS, Agri Plus 40.7 PS, Agri Plus 38.9 VS, Agri Plus 38.9 PS 2013 Operators Manual – 474 pages straight from Dieci S.r.l., Italy. No translation games, no missing pages, no third-party edits. If you plan to run one of these Agri Plus machines in the field, this manual stays on the machine. Period.

What You Get Inside the 474-Page Factory Manual

The manual opens with the mandatory safety warnings – page 3 has the WARNING, FORBIDDEN, and ATTENTION symbols that Dieci prints in red. Page 5 carries a letter from the factory to the owner, reminding you to read the entire thing before starting the engine. After that comes the real content: control layouts for each model, instrument panel explanations, daily pre-start checks, fluid capacities in liters and quarts (I’ll convert for you – the hydraulic tank holds around 40 quarts on the 40.7), and lubrication points with intervals. Engine maintenance follows the manufacturer’s separate book, but Dieci includes key service tasks like filter changes and belt tension adjustments. The manual ends with troubleshooting tables for common electrical and hydraulic issues. Every torque value in this book comes from Dieci’s test bench, not from a forum post.

3 Reasons Factory OEM Documentation Outranks Aftermarket Copies

First, the pagination matches the physical manual – no reflowed PDF that scrambles the index. Second, Dieci’s own drawing numbers appear on every schematic, so when you order a part you get the exact revision. Third, the safety content complies with CE regulations that aftermarket houses often skip. I’ve seen a reprint manual that left out the entire chapter on overhead load stability – that’s how operators get crushed. Manual Transmission”>Manual Transmission maintenance torque specs in this factory book are listed in lb-ft. The aftermarket version I found once called for 120 lb-ft on a 16mm bolt – factory spec is 98 lb-ft. That gap costs you a head gasket. Don’t trust reprints.

What the Manual Does NOT Cover (and Why That’s Fine)

This is an operators manual, not a full service manual. It won’t walk you through a complete engine overhaul or transmission rebuild. But it will tell you how to operate the boom safely, how to interpret warning lights, and what to do when the ESX control unit triggers a fault code. For major repairs, you need the companion Dieci Agri Plus 38.9 PS & 38.9 H PS Parts Catalog – 425-Page OEM Parts Manual”>parts catalog and Dieci Agri Plus 38.9 VS / AGRI PLUS 38.9 H VS Parts Catalog – 396 Pages”>parts manual. The Dieci Agri Plus 40.7 PS Parts Catalog – OEM 423-Page Spare Parts Manual”>40.7 PS parts book will give you the exploded views and part numbers. For daily operation and preventive maintenance, this operators manual is what you need on the seat box.

3 Critical Safety Warnings You Will Find on Page 3

Page 3 lists the icons for WARNING, FORBIDDEN, and ATTENTION. Dieci uses a yellow triangle for general warnings, a red circle-slash for prohibited actions, and a blue circle for mandatory steps. One example: never operate the telescopic boom without the stabilizers deployed on soft ground. Another: never exceed the load chart on the cab decal. A third: always park the machine with the boom fully retracted and the engine off before performing any maintenance. These aren’t suggestions – they’re factory instructions that keep you alive. The manual repeats these warnings throughout the operation chapters, so you cannot miss them.

How to Use This Manual on the Job

Open the manual to the daily inspection checklist – it’s around page 30 in the “Use and Maintenance” section. Walk your machine against that list: tire pressure (check the sidewall for psi, then cross-reference the manual’s recommended 45 psi for 40.7 PS), fluid levels, hydraulic hose condition. The lubrication chapter lists grease points every 10 hours on the boom pivot pins. Use the torque table on the last page for wheel nuts – 300 lb-ft on the 40.7 models. Write the date and hour meter reading in the log at the back. If you do that, the machine will run 5,000 hours without a major failure. Skip it, and you’re looking at a $4,000 hydraulic pump replacement. Your call.

That’s the difference between factory documentation and guesswork. The Manual Transmission”>manual transmission fluid change interval is printed right there – no guessing when to drop the pan. Access the factory manual and keep it with the machine.
