a levelling bar positioned behind the tines. It can be adjusted in
height by means of crank screws (6 Fig. 1).
It is advisable to start work with the bar in the upper position and
to then adjust it to the required setting.
Make the adjustments by keeping the bar at the same distance
from the soil as far as possible.
Avoid using the bar at depth as it could be damaged.
Whenever the position of the rear roller must be changed, adjust
again in order to skim over the ground.

4.11 REAR ROLLERS

The machine can be equipped with various types of roller. The
main ones are: Packer roller, Cage roller, Spiked roller.
Packer roller:
- This is used to crumble the soil worked by the tines to a further
degree and to guarantee a compact surface, optimum for seed-
ing. It has a bearing effect if the seed drill is mounted in a com-
bined configuration. It is excellent for dry and hard soil.
Cage roller:
- This is used for soil of medium consistency and when the de-
gree of humidity is low. It prepares the soil for seeding but does
not compact the surface.
Spiked roller:
- This is used for damp, clayey soils and in difficult situations. It
does not compact the soil but levels it at the rear of the ma-
chine.

4.12 STOPPING THE MACHINE

At the end of the job, the operator must:
- Disengage the tractor PTO.
- Lower the machine to the ground by means of the power lift.
- Stop the tractor and engage the parking brake.
- Make sure that all parts of the machine are at a standstill.
Only after the above mentioned operations have been carried out
may the operator leave the tractor unattended.

4.12.1 PARKING

- At the end of the job, the machine must be parked on a flat,
suitable surface.
- Stop the tractor and apply the parking brake.
- With the tractor stopped and all components at a complete stand-
still, remove the driveline from the PTO of the tractor.
- Unhitched the machine from the tractor.
The place in which the machine is parked must be:
- Dry.
- Sheltered from adverse weather conditions.
- Guarded or locked up to prevent children or unauthorized
persons from freely accessing the machine.
If the machine is to remain idle for a long period of time, lu-
bricate the parts subject to wear and store the machine in a
dry, sheltered place, covered with a plastic sheet.
This will ensure that the machine is in the ideal condition
when required again.

Maintenance

5.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The various routine maintenance operations are described be-
low. Remember that lower running costs and longer machine life
depend on continual compliance with these instructions.
Before proceeding with any operation, make sure that the
machine is parked on a flat surface. Prevent it from moving
by placing chocks under the wheels.
Servicing, adjusting and the operations required to prepare
the machine for work must be carried out with the tractor
and the driveline detached from the machine.
The servicing frequencies indicated in this manual are in-
dicative and refer to normal conditions of use. They may there-
fore vary depending on the type of service, whether the envi-
ronment is dirty or not, seasonal factors, etc. The servicing
operations must obviously be carried out more frequently in
heavier duty service conditions.
- Before injecting lubricating grease into the grease nipples,
carefully clean these latter to prevent mud, dust or foreign
bodies from mixing with the grease as this would reduce
or even annul its lubricating effects.
Injection into the greasing points of a large quantity of
grease at high pressure can damage the bearing protec-
tion. This operation must therefore be carried out with the
greatest care.
- Lubricate and grease all the required points, including the
chains.
- Use oil of the recommended type for topping up and
changes.
Keep all lubricants well away from children's reach.
Carefully read the warnings and precautions on the lubricant
containers.
The operator should thoroughly wash himself after using lu-
bricants.
Dispose of used oil in compliance with the anti-pollution laws.

5.2 LUBRICATION

Lubrication of any machine with parts that turn and/or rub together
is a vitally important task for the life and functionality of the actual
machine itself. Lubrication must therefore be carried out system-
atically and at the required intervals. The frequencies given refer
to machine use in a normal environment. If this machine is used
in heavier duty conditions, it must naturally be lubricated more
frequently.
