3 SAFETY RULES
Do not let the implement run when raised (off
the ground). While working do not turn bends
while the machine is set in the ground. Never
work in reverse gear. Always lift it off the ground
when you change directions or drive in reverse
gear.
During transportation, or whenever the machine has to be lifted, the tractor lift should be regulated so that the
machine is kept at a maximum distance of not more than 30 cm. off the ground. Do not circulate on roads if the
machine is dirty with earth, grass or other materials which may soil the roads and/or cause traffic problems . Do not
lower the machine to the ground abruptly , but rather do so slowly .
Unless you follow this rule, strong stressing forces will be exerted on all the components of the machine and they
may compromise its integrity
While driving on the road with the machine lifted off the ground, put the lever controlling the hydraulic lifting
mechanism of the tractor in its locked position.
Never use the machine within closed buildings, if their ventilation system is not adequate.
Before you start the universal joint, make sure that the chosen number of revolutions is correct. Do not mistake 540
rpm for 1000 rpm
Use only the universal joint provided by the Manufacturer, complete with safety devices against overloads.
The safety guards of the universal joint must always be in good working order and
have to be checked at regular intervals and secured by means of chains in order to
prevent them from revolving.
Always disconnect the power takeoff when the universal joint forms an angle
exceeding 15°, see picture.
Always check the integrity of the universal joint, both in its working and in its transport position.
The mounting and/or the removal of the universal joint must always be undertaken with the engine switched off
Always pay a lot of attention to the correct connection and to the safety of the universal joint (and to both the PTO of the machine
and the PTO of the tractor).
Before engaging the PTO make sure there are no people or animals in its area of action and that the chosen rpm are
the correct ones. Never exceed the maximum rpm allowed.
In order to avoid burnings, never touch the gearbox and the components of the hydraulic system (if any) after a
lengthy use of the machine.
The side skids also act as safety guards by preventing an easy access to the rotor. If the machine has no skids, it will
be complete with side safety plates.
The machine is not to be used at night or, at any rate, whenever visibility is insufficient.
Before you start working, familiarize yourself with the control devices and their function.
Mount the machine as prescribed on a tractor having adequate power and configuration by using the appropriate
device (lifting device) complying with the relevant rules
Be extremely careful while hitching and unhitching the implement..
Never leave your driver’s seat while the engine is running..
Before getting off the tractor, lower to the ground the machine hanging on the lifting device, turn off the engine, pull
the hand-brake and remove the ignition key from the dashing board..
The category of the pins for mounting the machine must be the same as the category of the tractor lifting device. During
transportation block with the suitable chains and tie-rods the lower arms of the lifting device.
