General safety notes
2.1 SAFETY NOTES
The user must inform his personnel about the risks deriving from
accidents, about the safety devices installed to safeguard the op-
erator and about the general accident-preventing regulations es-
tablished by the Directives and by the laws in force in the country
where the machine is used.
It is therefore essential for operators to carefully read this manual,
particularly the safety notes, and to pay great attention to opera-
tions which could be particularly hazardous.
The Manufacturer declines all and every liability for failure to
comply with the safety and prevention regulations given in
this manual.
Pay attention to this symbol when it appears in the manual. It
indicates a possible danger situation.
There are three danger levels:
DANGER: This is the maximum level danger signal and warns
that unless the described operations are carried out correctly, they
will cause serious injuries, death or long term health hazards.
WARNING: The «WARNING» signal warns that unless the de-
scribed operations are carried out correctly, they could cause
serious injuries, death or long term health hazards.
CAUTION: This sign warns that unless the described operations
are carried out correctly, they could cause damage to the ma-
chine and/or persons.
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. 3, 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 replace them if they de-
tach or become damaged.
Consult Fig. 3, 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) Sharp objects thrown up by the machine could represent
a danger hazard. Keep at a safety distance.
5) Danger of lower limbs being cut off. Keep at a safety dis-
tance from the machine when it operates.
6) Danger of upper limbs being cut off. Do not remove the
guards and keep well away from moving parts when the ma-
chine is operating.
7) Hitching points 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
steerage hoe.
- 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 be-
ginning 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-

that of the power lift hitch.
