2.2 SAFETY DECALS

The machine has been designed and built in compliance with all
possible safety standards able to safeguard those who work with
it. Despite this, there may still be residue hazards which are sig-
nalled on the machine by decals.
These decals (pictograms) described in Fig. 5, are affixed to the
machine and indicate the various situations of insecurity and dan-
ger in a brief form. Keep the decals clean and immediately re-
place them if they detach or become damaged.
Consult Fig. 5, carefully read the following descriptions and memo-
rize the meanings of the safety decals.
1) Carefully read the instruction manual before beginning
work.
2) Before proceeding with maintenance operations. Stop the
machine and read the instruction manual.
3) Danger of being caught up by the driveline. Keep well
away from the driveline when the tractor engine is on. Fix
the guards in place with the relative chains.
4) Danger of being crushed. Never get between the machine
and the tractor.
5) Danger of upper limbs being cut off. Do not remove the
guards and keep well away from moving parts when the
machine is operating.
6) Danger of lower limbs being cut off. Keep at a safety dis-
tance from the machine when it operates.
7) Pipes with high-pressure fluids (if fitted). Mind oil splashes
in case of pipe breakage.
8) Danger of falling. It is absolutely forbidden to climb on to
the machine.
9) Connecting point to lift the machine.
2.3 SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTING
RULES
Carefully read the safety and accident-prevention rules be-
fore using the machine. Consult the Manufacturer if in doubt.
The Manufacturer declines all and every liability for failure to
comply with the safety and accident-prevention rules de-
scribed 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 oper-
ated with the machine hitched by persons who are not in pos-
session 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 dis-
tributed 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 condi-
tions.
- Comply with the Highway Code regulations in force in your coun-
try when travelling on public roads.

- Do not exceed the maximum tolerated weight on the tractor
axle.
- 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 ma-
chine 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 operat-
ing.
- When driving round bends with and without the machine, take
care of the centrifugal force exercised when the center of grav-
ity is in a different position, particular when driving round bends.
- Check the rpm rate before inserting the driveline. 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 ma-
chine 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 link-
age.
- 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 steer-
age hoe hitch in order to manoeuvre the lifting control from the
outside.
- Set the control lever of the tractor's hydraulic lifting control in
the locked position when driving on the roads with the machine
raised.
- Only use the driveline recommended by the Manufacturer.
- Periodically check the driveline shield. It must always be in an
optimum condition and firmly fixed.
- Pay the utmost attention to the driveline guard, both during trans-
port and work.
- The driveline must always be mounted and demounted when
the tractor engine is off.
- Make sure that the driveline is mounted 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 sup-
plied with the driveline.
- Make sure that there are no bystanders or animals in the vicin-
ity 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 over 10 degrees, Fig. 3) and when it is not used.
- Only clean and grease the driveline when the PTO is disen-
gaged, 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 (4 Fig. 1) when not used.
- As a secondary effect, lengthy use of the machine can cause
the gearbox (5 Fig. 1) and parts of the hydraulic circuit to heat.
Do not touch these parts during or immediately after use as
they could cause burns.
