6.3.1 Preliminarychecks
► Make an overall visual inspection of the machine.
► Check the tightening of all the screws.
► Check the integrity of the guards.
► Check the level of oil in the transmission unit.
► Check the cutting unit (the condition of the shaft, the wear on the ails, etc.) and make sure that all the various
parts are correctly tightened.
► Make sure that there are no leakages of oil from ttings or tubes.
► Check the correct operation of the electric system and the light bar (if present).
► Make sure that the speed and rotation direction of the tractor power takeo󰀨 are the same as those required by
the machine (see the sticker on the gearbox).
► If applied on a self-propelled machine, check the number of motor revolutions and the available oil ow necessary
for the hydraulic motor of the shredding ail head.
► Make sure that there are no people and/or animals present within a range of 50 metres.
► Grease all the parts of the machine.
IF THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED, THE USER WILL BE CONSIDERED LIABLE

DANGER
6.3.2 Starting up the machine
Do not start the machine while the cutting ails are immersed in the vegetation to be cut.
WARNING
1) Keep the tractor engine running at low rpm.
2) Apply force to the PTO lever slowly in order to start the rotor.
3) Once the PTO has been inserted at low rpm, begin gradually raising engine rpm until it reaches the normal operating
level.
4) Wait until the ail shaft rotor reaches maximum speed before proceeding with mowing.
Whenever unusual noises and/or vibrations occur, immediately uncouple the PTO.
CAUTION
5) Accelerate the tractor slowly and smoothly until optimum work speed is reached (see Chapter 5).
6) Use all the controls progressively in order to keep the machine running smoothly.
7) Always run the machine at an advance speed that is equal to or slightly lower than optimum speed.
Do not allow the PTO to exceed the maximum allowed value for the equipment being used.
If it exceeds the maximum allowed value, the conditions will no longer be safe and serious
damage could be caused to the machine.
CAUTION
Use the machine with an oil temperature higher than 30°C.
Heat up the oil while keeping a hydraulic ram in the end-of-stroke position.
