26) Before releasing the equipment from the third point attachment,
put the hoist command lever into the locked position and lower
the support feet.
27) Only operate when visibility is good.
28) All operations must be carried out by expert personnel, equip-
ped with protective gloves, in a clean and dust-free environ-
ment.
Tractor hitch
1) Hook the equipment to a suitable, suffi ciently-powered tractor
by means of the appropriate device (lifter), in conformity with
applicable standards.
2) The class of the equipment attachment pins must be the same
as that of the lifter attachment.
3) Take care when working within the range of the lifting arms as
this is a very dangerous area.
4) Be very careful when hooking and unhooking the equip-
ment.
5) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and
linkage for manoeuvring the lifting controls from the outside
(Fig. 3).
6) It is absolutely forbidden to stand in the space between the
tractor and the equipment (Fig. 3) with the engine running.
It is possible to work between the tractor and the equipment
only after the parking brake has been applied and a suitably
sized blocking wedge or stone has been placed under the
wheels.
7) The attaching of additional equipment onto the tractor brings
about a different distribution of weight on the axles. Check the
compatibility of the tractor performance with the weight that
the seeder transfers onto the three-point linkage. If in doubt
consult the tractor Manufacturer.
8) Comply with the maximum admissible weight for the axle, the
total mobile weight, transport regulations and the highway
code.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
Transport on Road
1) When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the highway
code of the country involved.
2) Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs
and guards.
3) It is very important to remember that road holding capacity
as well as direction and braking capacity can be infl uenced,
sometimes con-siderably, by equipment being either carried
or towed.
4) To work in safety the instructions given in the highway code
should be followed; these prescribe that at least 20% of the
weight of the tractor alone should be borne by the front axle
and that the weight on the arms of the hoist should not be more
than 30% of the weight of the tractor itself.
5) When negotiating curves, be aware of the variation in centri-
fugal force exerted in a position other than that of the center
of gravity, with and without the equipment in tow. Also pay
greater attention on sloping roads or ground.
6) For transport, adjust and fasten the lateral lifting arm chains
of the tractor; check that the seed and fertilizer hopper covers
are closed properly; lock the hydraulic lifting control lever.
7) Road movements must be performed with all tanks empty.
8) For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment must
be placed in the transportation position.
9) Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports and tables
for signaling of dimensions.
10) When the dimensions of carried or partially-carried equipment
conceal the tractor's signalling and lighting devices, these
must also be installed on the equipment itself, in conformity
with regulations of the highway code of the country involved.
When in operation make sure that the lighting system is in
perfect working order.
