2 SAFETY RULES
2.1 General safety rules
The machine was designed and constructed according to appropriate safety standards. Before using the machine,
carefully follow all the precautions and instructions contained in the manual in order to avoid accidents.
► Ensure that, on the ground where you are to work, there are no large stones or rocks, protruding tree stumps,
metal elements of any kind (mesh, wires, cables, chains, tubes, etc.).
► Carefully follow the instructions for the adjustment of the machine height above ground.
► While working with the machine, ensure that there are no persons or animals within a radius of at least 50 metres.
► Never work “ush to the ground” on wet terrain. In these conditions, in fact, there is a risk of taking too much
power from the motor, lling the rotor protective casing with pressed mud, and causing excessive wear on the
ails and the drive belts, thereby compromising machine performance and balance.
► A tractor of appropriate power must be used on each machine. If using a tractor with higher power than the
maximum the machine can absorb, use a PTO shaft with a clutch (torque limiting device), without which the
drive unit and the ail shaft could get damaged.
► Examine the safety decals applied to the machine and described in this manual. To work safely, clean them
and, if they are not legible, replace them with new decals.
FERRI declines all liability for damage caused by improper use of the machine.
WARNING
Carefully check the machine before each start-up.
CAUTION
Before starting up the machine or carrying out maintenance work, carefully read all the
instructions and safety messages contained in the manual and on the machine. Carefully
follow accident prevention and safety rules.
CAUTION
Never use the machine to carry or lift people, animals or objects.
DANGER
