from swinging sideways.
▪
Insert the driveline and make sure that it is perfectly locked on to the tractor PTO. Check that the guard is free to turn.
Fix the driveline shield with the relative chain. Remove the driveline support (4 Fig. 1) and fix it to the relative hitch on the
linkage.
Take the utmost care when you insert the driveline. Make sure that it is firmly locked on to the tractor PTO and on the ma-
chine.
Also comply with the indications in the instruction manual supplied with each driveline.
Make sure that the driveline shield, fixed with the relative chains, is free to turn without obstructions. Also check the protective
shields on the tractor and on the implement. If some guard is not in perfect working order, it must be immediately replaced with
a new guard. It is very important to ensure that the protective shields on both sides overlap the driveline ones by at least 5 cm.
▪
Connect the upper third point and adjust the top link in the correct way, making sure that the upper surface of the machine
is parallel to the ground. This is very important as parallelism between the axis of the machine and that of the tractor PTO is
obtained in this way.
4.3 DRIVELINE
The driveline is a mechanical component. When it is operating it can be a source of danger to the physical well-being of
those who work with it. Take the greatest care when carrying out operations that involve the driveline. Carefully read the
instruction manual supplied with the driveline. If you have doubts about the way it operates, if it is without its shields, worn
or broken, replace it with a new driveline bearing the "CE" mark. Make sure that the driveline is ALWAYS protected by the
plastic guards supplied by the manufacturer. The guards MUST be replaced if they break or become misshapen.
Never modify or adapt the driveline in any way. If this is necessary, contact your nearest Authorized Assistance Center.
Since the driveline spins at high speed, it is balanced during the testing phase. Any successive interventions could therefore lead
to lack of balance which could then impair the functionality of the machine besides that of the actual driveline itself. The angle at
which the driveline works must be the minimum possible as this will ensure that both the driveline and machine are long-lasting.
When the driveline is fully extended, in all work conditions, the telescopic tubes must overlap to at least 1/3rd of their length (A
Fig. 5). When the driveline is fully inserted, the play must be at least 4 cm (B Fig. 5). Contact the Manufacturer's Technical Service
if this is not possible.
Before engaging the PTO, make sure that its rotation speed corresponds to the rate for which the machine has been desig-
Do not allow the machine to operate unless it digs into the soil. When working, do not drive around bends with the machine
