connected accessory before starting work.
2) Never allow children to operate the interface,
or adults who have not received proper instruc-
tion.
3) It is important to become familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the interface and
connected accessory.
B) PREPARATION
1) Use work gloves, footwear and suitable per-
sonal protective equipment during assembly
and disassembly of the connected accessory;
always use tools which are suitable for the type
of work involved.
2) Position the accessory on a flat and sturdy
surface to assemble and disassemble the ac-
cessory, paying attention to weight distribution
and to ensure safe movement and handling of
the same.
3) Before use, always carry out a general check
to make sure the components of the interface
and connected accessory are not worn or dam-

4) When using motorised equipment, disengage
the power takeoff (PTO) before starting the
engine.
5) When operating with the accessory assem-

manoeuvres, when not in use and before get-
ting off the machine.
