2.3 SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTING RULES

Carefully read the safety and accident-prevention rules before using the machine. Consult the Manufacturer if in doubt. The Ma-
nufacturer declines all and every liability for failure to comply with the safety and prevention regulations described below.
▪
Do not touch moving parts.
▪
Adjustments or work on the machine must only be carried out when the tractor engine is off and the tractor blocked.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to transport persons or animals on the machine.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to operate the tractor or have it operated, with the machine hitched, by persons who are not in
possession of an adequate driving license, by inexpert persons or by those whose psycho-physical conditions of health are
not good.
▪
Comply with all the accident prevention measures recommended and described in this manual.
▪
When a machine is hitched to a tractor, the weights will be distributed differently on the axles. It is therefore advisable to
add ballast at the front of the tractor in order to balance the weight on the axles.
▪
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.
▪
Do not exceed the maximum tolerated weight on the tractor axles.
▪
Become familiar with the controls and their functions before beginning work.
▪
Wear suitable clothing.
▪
Do not wear loose or flapping garments, scarves, necklaces or ties which could become caught up in moving parts. Wear
protective garments such as goggles, gloves and protective footwear if required in the country where the machine is used
or when working on particular stony ground.
▪
The machine must be hitched to a tractor with an adequate power rating.
▪
Pay the utmost attention when hitching and unhitching the machine to and from the tractor.
▪
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
brake and remove the ignition key from the control panel.
▪
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. 3) and when it is
