the towing hitch (Fig.22) to the rear plate using the two bolts
(A) and corresponding nuts.
WARNING
- Fix the towing hitch securely to prevent the bolts from
loosening during towing.
- Do not mow grass with towed accessories hitched to the
machine.
- Always remove the tow hook before fitting it in the
vertical position.
CAUTION: Do not mow grass with the towing hitch
fitted; this could cause rapid blockage of the collector
channel.
9.1 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES ON REQUEST
Towed accessories:
1) Trailer for transporting materials (Fig.23): useful for
transporting various types of material.
2) Towable spreader (Fig.24): can be used to spread
manure or rock salt.
Safety rules
Remember that the trailer or spreader can cause injuries if
used improperly or if the user fails to understand how to
make them work correctly. Pay attention at all times when
using such accessories.
1. Read this manual and the manual supplied with the
trailer / spreader, before assembly and use.
2. Read the manual of the machine to which the towed
accessories will be hitched, so that you fully understand
how it works before using it.
3. It is strictly prohibited to transport people or animals on
towed accessories. They are not designed to carry
passengers.
4. Do not allow children to operate the machine or its
towed accessories.
5. Do not allow adults to operate the machine or towed
accessories without adequate instructions.
6. When the machine is equipped with towed accessories,
always start slowly and gradually increase the speed,
adapting it to the conditions of use.
7. Tow accessories slowly on uneven or hilly ground and
near to streams and ditches, in order to prevent
overturning and loss of control. Do not drive near to
streams and ditches.
8. Towed accessories may cause stability problems when
slowing down and stopping the vehicle that is towing
them. If the vehicle is stopped too suddenly, there is a risk
of it being struck by the load or the accessory itself. Do
not fill the towed accessory to its maximum weight
capacity (trailer 50 kg, spreader 29 litres) without
checking whether the towing vehicle and conditions of
use permit towing and stopping in total safety.
9. Before towing accessories on a slope, read the
instructions for using the machine on sloping ground
given on page 26 of this manual. Do not use towed
accessories on very steep slopes.
10. Do not tow accessories on, or even across, public
roadways.
11. The speed of the machine when towing an accessory
must be lower than the maximum speed of the machine
without towed accessories, which is 8,6 km/h.
12. Follow the instructions for maintenance and lubrication
of towed accessories as described in this manual, to
ensure their optimum operation during work.
Mounting
For mounting see the relative trailer or spreader manuals.
Use
Also refer to the manual supplied with the towed
accessory.
WARNING
- To prevent possible injuries, before fitting or detaching
a towed accessory from the machine, make sure there
are no bystanders in the vicinity. The same applies
when working.
- Accessories must only be towed, never pushed.
- Do not exceed the recommended transport capacities:
the maximum loads are 50 kg for the trailer and 29
litres for the spreader.
- For better use of towed accessories, distribute the load
evenly over the trailer's tipper body or in the spreader's
hopper. An excessive rear load increases the risk of
overturning.
- To attach the trailer or spreader using the towing hitch,
bring the end part of the frame on the accessory into contact
with the hitch on the machine, insert the pin in the two holes
on the base and lock in place with the cotter pin.
- Do some trial runs to get accustomed to driving the
machine with unladen towed accessories. Ascertain carefully
what speed you can work at and the stopping times of the
machine with accessories hitched. Also bear in mind that,
with a fully laden trailer or spreader hitched to the machine,
the working conditions are much more demanding.
Trailer
To unload material from the trailer's tipper body, remove the
cotter pin and the pin that keep the body fixed to the frame.
When removing the pin, keep the tipper body handle pressed
with your other hand to prevent the body from tipping up
suddenly. Then pull the handle upward to unload the
material. NOTE: The handle is extractable to reduce the effort
needed for lifting. After emptying, push the handle down and
lock the tipper body in place by reinserting the pin and cotter
pin.
WARNING
- Before carrying out unloading operations, always
ensure that there are no people, animals or objects in
the vicinity of the trailer.
- During work always bear in mind that the wheel track of
the trailer is wider than that of the machine by 12 cm, 6
on each side. Dimensions: 112x85x28 cm.
Spreader
After having loaded the hopper with the material to be spread
on the ground, use the graduated lever to adjust the width of
the outfeed to suit your requirements. The accessory is
equipped with a sieve, to retain larger clumps of material that
you do not want deposited on the ground, and a plastic cover,
which can be used for example when spreading rock salt
during rainy or snowy weather, or to cover powdered materials.
Maintenance
- Before or after a long period of storage, use automotive oil
to lubricate the retaining hook on the tipper body, the
locking pin on the retaining hook and the part of the frame
with the two holes for fixing the machine's towing hitch and
corresponding pin.
- Periodically grease or oil the wheel bearings. Use grease for
wheel bearings or automotive oil.
