When hitched to the tractor, the machine can only be operated with the driveline complete with shields fixed by their
chains. Keep well away from the spinning driveline.
▪
Before starting the tractor and machine, make sure that all the safety devices for transportation and use are in perfect
conditions.
▪
Comply with the Highway Code regulations in force in your country when travelling on public roads.

▪
Any accessories used for transportation purposes must be equipped with adequate signs and guards.
▪
Never ever leave the driver's seat whilst the tractor is operating.
▪
When driving round bends with and without the machine, take care of the centrifugal force exercised when the center of
gravity is in a different position.
▪
Check the rpm rate before engaging the power take-off. Do not switch the 540 rpm rate with the 1000 rpm one.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to linger within the range of action of the machine when this is operating.
▪
Before you get off the tractor, lower the machine hitched to the power lift unit, stop the tractor engine, engage the parking

▪
It is absolutely forbidden to get between the tractor and machine while the engine is running and the driveline engaged.
▪
Move the power lift control lever to the locked position before you hitch or unhitch the machine to or from the three-point
linkage.
▪
The class of the machine's coupling pins must correspond to that of the power lift hitch.
▪
Take great care when you work near the lift links. This is a very dangerous area.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to get between the tractor and the machine hitch in order to manoeuvre the lifting command
from the outside.
▪
Fix the side lifting links with the relative chains and idlers during the transport phase.
▪
Set the control lever of the tractor's hydraulic lifting control in the locked position when driving on the roads with the ma-
chine raised.
▪
Only use the driveline recommended by the Manufacturer, with «CE» marking.
▪
Periodically check the driveline shield. It must always be in an optimum condition and securely fixed.
▪
Pay the utmost attention to the driveline guard, both during transport and
work.
▪
The driveline must always be assembled and disassembled when the tractor
engine is off.
▪
Make sure that the driveline is assembled on the tractor and machine PTO in
the correct way.
▪
Prevent the shields from turning by means of the relative chains and always
read the operation and maintenance manual supplied with the driveline.
▪
Make sure that there are no bystanders or animals in the vicinity before you engage the PTO.
▪
Do not engage the PTO when the engine is off.
▪
Disengage the PTO when the driveline is at an excessively wide angle (never more than 10 degrees, Fig.
not used.
▪
Only clean and grease the driveline when the PTO is disengaged, the engine off, the parking brake engaged and the igni-
tion key removed from the tractor's ignition switch.
▪
Rest the driveline on its stand (
▪
Prolonged use of the machine can cause the overdrive housing (
at. Do not touch these parts during and immediately after using the machine since they could cause burns.
▪
Do not carry out servicing or cleaning operations unless the PTO has been disengaged and the tractor engine turned off.
▪
Periodically check to make sure that the nuts and bolts are well torqued. Tighten them if necessary.
▪
Place adequate supports under the machine as a precaution when servicing or replacing the tines/blades with the machine
raised.
▪
Before working on the cutting tools, detach the PTO, turn off the tractor engine, engage the parking brake and make sure
that the tines are at a standstill.
▪
Use the recommended oils.
▪
Spare parts must comply with the requirements established by the Manufacturer. Only use genuine spare parts.
▪
