Hydraulic Circuit - Monosem NG Plus 4 Notice De Montage, Réglage, Entretien

PROPER USE OF THE MACHINE
The machine must only be used for tasks for which it has been designed.
The manufacturer will not be liable or any damage caused by using t he machine for applications other than those specified by th e manufacturer.
Using the machine for purposes other than those originally intended will be done so entirely at the user 's risk.
Proper use of the machine also implies:
-complying with instructions on use, c are and maintenance provided by the manufacturer;
-using only original or manufacturer recommended spare parts, equipment and accessories.
The machine must only be operated, maintained and repaired by competent persons, familiar with the s pecifications and methods o f operation of
the machine. these persons must also be informed of the dangers to which they may be exposed.
The user must strictly abide by current legislation regarding :
-accident prevention
-safety at work (health and safety regulations)
-transport on public roads (road traf fic regulations)
Strict compliance with warnings affixed to the machine is obligatory.
The owner of the equipment shall become liabl e for any damage resulting from alterations made to the machine by the user or any other person,
without the prior written cons ent of the manufacturer.
HITCHING
1-When hitching or unhitching the machine from the tractor, place the control lever of the hydraulic lift in such a position that the lifting mechanism
cannot be activated accidentally.
2-When hitching the machine to the three-point lifting mechanism of the tractor, ensure that the diameters of the pins or gudge ons correspond to
the diameter of the tractor ball joints.
3-Caution ! In the three point lifting zone, there may be a danger of crushing and shearing.
4-Do not stand between the tractor and the machine whi lst operating the external lift control lever .
5-When in transport, lifting mechanism stabilizer bars must be fitted to the machine to avoid floating and side movement.
6-When transporting the machine in the rais ed position, lock the lift control lever .
DRIVE EQUIPMENT(Power take-off and universal drive shafts)
1-Only use universal shafts supplied wi th the machine or recommended by the manufacturer .
2-Power take-off and universal drive shaft guards must always be fitted and in good condition.
3-Ensure that the tubes of the univ ersal drive shafts are properly guarded, both in t he working position and in the transport p osition.
4-Before connecting or disconnecting a universal drive shaft, disengage the power take-off, turn off the engine and re-move the key from ignition.
5-If the primary universal drive shaft is fitted with t orque limiter or a free wheel, these must be mounted on the machine powe r take-off.
6-Always ensure that universal drive shafts are filled and locked correctly .
7-Always ensure that universal drive shafts guards are immobi lized in rotation using the specially provided chains.
8-Before engaging power take-off, ensure that the speed selected and the direction of rotation of the power take-of f comply with the manufacturer 's
instructions.
9-Before engaging power take-off, ensure that no persons or animals are close to the machine.
10-Disengage power take-off when the universal drive shaft angle limits laid down by the manufacturer are in danger of being ex ceeded.
11-Caution! When power take-off has been disengaged, moving parts may continue to rotate for a few moments. Do not approach until they have
reached a complete standstill.
12-On removal from the machine, rest the univers al drive shafts on the specially provided supports.
13-After disconnecting the universal drive shafts from the power ta ke-off, the protective cap should be fitted to the power tak e-off.
14-Damage power take-off and universal drive shaft guards must be replaced immediately .

HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT

1-Caution! The hydraulic circuit is pressurized.
2-When fitting hydraulic motors or cylinders, ensure that the circ uits are connected correctly in accordance with the manufactu rer's guidelines.
3-Before fitting a hose to the tractor 's hydraulic circuit, ensure that the tractor side and t he machine side circuits are not pressurized.
4-The user of the machine is strongly recommended to identify t he hydraulic couplings between the tractor and the machine in or der to avoid
wrong connection. Caution! there is a danger of rev ersing the functions (for example : raise/lower).
5-Check hydraulic hoses once a year :
a.damage to the outer surface
b.porosity of the outer surface
c.deformation with and without pressure
d.stat of the fittings and seals
6-When a leak is found, all necessary precaut ions should be taken to avoid accidents.
7-Pressurized liquid, particularly hydraulic circuit oil, may cause serious injury if it comes into contact with the skin. In the case of injury, consult a
doctor immediately. There is a risk of infection.
8-Before any operation on the hydraulic circuit, lower the machine, release the pressure from the circuit, turn of f the engine and remove the key
from ignition.
MAINTENANCE
1-Before commencing any maintenance, servicing or repair work, or before attempting to locate the source of a breakdown or fault, it is essential
that the power take-off is disengaged, the engi ne turned off and the key removed from the ignition.
2-Check regularly that nuts and screws are not loose. Tighten if necessary.
3-Before carrying out maintenance work on a rais ed machine, prop it up using appropriate means of support.
4-When replacing a working part (fert ilizer spreader blade or planter coulter), wear prot ective gloves and only use appropriate tools.
5-To protect the environment, it is forbidden to throw away oil, greas e or filters of any kind. Give them to specialist recycli ng firms.
6-Before operating on the electric circuit, disconnect the power source.
7-Protective devices likely to be exposed to wear and tear should be checked regularly. Replace them immediately if they are da maged.
8-Spare parts should comply the standards and specifications laid down by the manufa cturer. Only use MONOSEM spare parts.
9-Before commencing any electric welding work on the tractor or the towed machine, disconnect the alternator and battery cables .
10-Repairs affecting parts under stress or pressure (springs, pressure accumulators, etc...) should be carried out by suitably qualified engineers
with special tools.
