Every time the tractor/machine

used, you should ensure
beforehand that it complies with
current legislation on safety at
work and Road Traffic
regulations.

GENERAL

1 -

In addition to the instructions

contained in this manual,
legislation relating to safety
instructions and accident
prevention should be complied
with.

– Warnings affixed to the

machine give indications
regarding safety measures to be
observed and help to avoid
accidents.

– When traveling on public

roads, abide by the provisions of
the Highway Code.

– Before starting work, it is

essential that the user is familiar
with the control and operating
elements of the machine and their
respective functions. When the
machine is running, it may be too
late.

– The user should avoid

wearing loose clothing, which may
be caught up, in the moving parts.

– We recommend using a

tractor with a safety cab or roll bar
conforming to standards in force.

– Before starting up the

machine and beginning work,
check the immediate

surroundings, particularly for
children. Make sure that visibility
is adequate. Clear any persons
or animals out of the danger zone.

– It is strictly forbidden to

transport any persons or animals
on board the machine whether it
is in operation or not.

– The machine should only be

coupled up to the tractor at the
specially provided towing points
and in accordance with applicable
safety standards.

– Extreme care must be taken

when coupling or uncoupling the
machine from the tractor.

– Before hitching up the

machine, ensure that the front
axle of the tractor is sufficiently
weighted. Ballast weights should
be fitted to the special supports in
accordance with the instructions
of the tractor manufacturer.

– Do not exceed the maximum

axle weight or the gross vehicle
weight rating.

– Do not exceed the maximum

authorized dimensions for using
public roads.

– Before entering a public

road, ensure that the protective
and signaling devices (lights,
reflectors, etc) required by law are
fitted and working properly.

– All remote controls (cords,

cables, rods, hoses etc) must be
positioned so that they cannot
accidentally set off any
manoeuvre, which may cause an
accident or damage.

– Before entering a public

road, place the machine in the

transport position, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s
instructions.

– Never leave the driver’s

position whilst the tractor is
running.

– The speed and the method

of operation must always be
adapted to the land, roads and
paths. Avoid sudden changes of
direction under all circumstances.

– Precision of the steering,

tractor adhesion, road holding and
effectiveness of the braking
mechanism are influenced by
factors such as the weight and
nature of the machine being
towed, the front axle stage and
the state of the land or path. It is
essential, therefore, that the
appropriate care is taken for each
situation.

– Take extra care when

cornering, taking account of the
overhang, length, height and
weight of the machine or trailer
being towed.

– Before using the machine,

ensure that all protective devices
are fitted and in good condition.
Damaged protectors should be
replaced immediately.

– Before using the machine,

check that nuts and screws are
tight, particularly those for
attaching tools (discs, flickers,
deflectors, etc). Tighten if
necessary.

– Do not stand in the operating

area of the machine.

–

Caution!

Be aware of any

crushing and shearing zones on
remote-controlled and particularly
hydraulically controlled parts.
