turn off the tractor engine, engage the parking brake and
make sure that the tines are at a standstill.
▪
Use the recommended oils.
▪
Spare parts must comply with the requirements establi-
shed by the Manufacturer. Only use genuine spare parts.
▪
The safety decals must always be clearly visible. They
must be kept clean and replaced if they become illegible
(new ones can be obtained from the Manufacturer).
▪
The instruction manual must be kept throughout the life
of the machine.
▪
If the country in which the machine is used has noise
prevention laws, adapt to these provisions by using the
appropriate protections. The measured noise levels are
given in section «1.5 Noise level».
▪
Comply with the laws in force in the country where the
machine is used when it comes to using and disposing of
the products used to clean and service the machine. Also
comply with the instructions given by the manufacturer
of such products.
▪
Comply with the anti-pollution laws in force in the count-
ry of use if the machine must be scrapped.

3 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

3.1 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
CAUTION
If the machine, hitched to the tractor, must circulate on the
public roads, comply with the Highway Code regulations in
force in the country in which the machine itself is used.
The machine must be raised at least 16 inches from the
ground for road transport.
If the machine must be transported over a long distance, it can
be loaded on a truck or railway car. In this case, consult «Machine
dimensions» for the weight and dimensions. This will allow you
to make sure that the machine can pass through tunnels or low
constructions without difficulty. To lift the machine from the
ground to the loading platform, use a crane with an adequate
carrying capacity and hook up the machine from the relative
lifting points indicated on the machine.
Loading with a crane: make sure that the carrying capacity of
the crane is fit to lift the weight of the machine. The connecting
points for lifting are clearly visible and are marked by stickers.
Lift the machine with the utmost care and move it slowly without
jolting on to the truck or railway car.
DANGER
The lifting and transporting operations can be very dangerous
unless they are carried out with the greatest care: have all
persons not directly involved in the lifting operations move
well clear of the lifting area. Clear and delimit the zone to
which the machine is to be transferred. Make sure that the
available lifting means are fit for the purpose. Do not touch
hanging loads and always keep at a safety distance from
them. When transported, the loads must not be lifted more
than 8 inches from the ground. Also make sure that the zone
in which the operations take place is uncluttered and that
there is a sufficient «escape route», i.e. a clear and safe zone
to which the operators can quickly move if the load should fall.
The surface on to which the machine is to be loaded must
be perfectly horizontal, to prevent the load from shifting.
Once the machine has been moved on to the truck or wagon,
make sure that it remains blocked in position.
▪
Fix the machine firmly to the surface on which it rests
by means of the pre-engineered points marked with the
«hook» decal, using well tightened ropes or chains suited
to its weight and able to prevent it from moving in any
way.
▪
After having transported the machine to the desired site
and before removing the elements that hold it in place,
make sure that its position is unable to be of danger.
▪
Now remove the ropes and unload the machine from the
means of transport in the same way as it was loaded.

4 STARTUP

4.1 BEFORE USE

Before he sets the machine at work, the operator must
have read and understood all parts of this manual and par-
ticularly «Section 2» about safety.
Before beginning work, make sure that the machine is in order,
that the lubricating oils are at the right level and that all parts
subject to wear and deterioration are fully efficient. Also make
sure that the guards are correctly positioned.
Adjustments and operations required to prepare the ma-
chine for work must always be carried out with the machi-
ne off and blocked.
