DANGER
Before engaging the PTO of the tractor, always make sure that the drive shaft is mounted in
the correct direction, and that its clamping elements are properly connected both to tractor
side and to Rotary Hoe side.
WARNING
Stop operating immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make
certain rotor, blades, couplings, PTO shaft and bolts are in good condition before resuming
operation.
WARNING
Always disengage the tractor PTO when the driveshaft exceed an angle of 10 degrees up or
down while operating. An excessive angle with driveshaft rotating can break the driveshaft
and cause flying projectiles.
CAUTION
Avoid clutch overheating and wearing caused by too long or frequent slipping of the clutch,
since it can damage the clutch components. Before checking the clutch, make sure it has
cooled. Clutch could be extremely hot and cause a severe burn.
CAUTION
Prolonged use of the implement can cause overheating of the gearbox. Do not touch the
gearbox during use and immediately after, it could be extremely hot and cause a severe
burn.
WARNING
All repairs to the implement must be performed by qualified and trained operators, with the
tractor engine off, the PTO disengaged, the implement lowered to the ground or on security
stands, the ignition key off and the parking brake set.
