7) It is strictly prohibited to drive the tractor, or allow it to be driven,
with the equipment attached by persons not in possession of a
driver's license, inexpert or in poor conditions of health.
8) Before starting the tractor and the equipment, check that all
safety devices for transport and use are in perfect working order.
9) Before starting up the equipment, check the area surrounding the
machine to ensure that there are no people, especially children

13) It is absolutely prohibited to stand within the machine's radius
of action where there are moving parts.
14) It is absolutely forbidden to use the equipment without the guards

USE AND MAINTENANCE
18) Before releasing the equipment from the third point attachment,
put the hoist command lever into the locked position and lower
the support feet.
19) Only operate when visibility is good.
20) All operations must be carried out by expert personnel, equipped
with protective gloves, in a clean and dust-free environment.
Tractor hitch
21) Hook the equipment to a suitable, suffi ciently-powered tractor
by means of the appropriate device (lifter), in conformity with
applicable standards.
22) The class of the equipment attachment pins must be the same
as that of the lifter attachment.
23) Take care when working within the range of the lifting arms as
this is a very dangerous area.
24) Be very careful when hooking and unhooking the equipment.
25) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and linkage
for manoeuvring the lifting controls from the outside (Fig. 5).
26) It is absolutely forbidden to stand in the space between the
tractor and the equipment (Fig. 5) with the engine running.
It is possible to work between the tractor and the equipment only
after the parking brake has been applied and a suitably sized
blocking wedge or stone has been placed under the wheels.
27) The attaching of additional equipment onto the tractor brings
about a different distribution of weight on the axles. Check the
compatibility of the tractor performance with the weight that the
seeder transfers onto the three-point linkage. If in doubt consult
the tractor Manufacturer.
28) Comply with the maximum admissible weight for the axle, the
total mobile weight, transport regulations and the highway code.
Transport on Road
29) When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the highway
code of the country involved.

31) It is very important to remember that road holding capacity as well
as direction and braking capacity can be infl uenced, sometimes
con-siderably, by equipment being either carried or towed.
32) When negotiating curves, be aware of the variation in centrifugal
force exerted in a position other than that of the center of gravity,
with and without the equipment in tow. Also pay greater attention
on sloping roads or ground.
33) For transport, adjust and fasten the lateral lifting arm chains of
the tractor; check that the seed and fertilizer hopper covers are
closed properly; lock the hydraulic lifting control lever; hook the
seeders unit following the instructions referring on page 57.
34) Road movements must be performed with all tanks empty.
35) For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment must
be placed in the transportation position.
36) Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports and tables
for signaling of dimensions.
