After using them, wash your hands thoroughly.
Dispose of the used lubricants according to the
antipollution regulations.
- At the end of the maintenance and repair operations,
make sure that all operations are completed, that
the safety devices and the guards are back in place
before starting the machine again.
- The spare parts must correspond to the needs
established by the Manufacturer. Use only genuine
spare parts
- When working on yielding grounds, near slopes,
ditches or steep grounds, operate with the utmost
care at low speed to prevent the machine from over-
turning; it is moreover suggested, in these cases,
to arrange the load as further down as possible to
give the machine more balance
- In case the machine is meant to work on raised
grounds or near precipices, before starting to work,
it is compulsory to suitably put barriers around all
tracts that may involve the fall of the machine from
above due to a possible wrong maneuver by the
operator.
- It is forbidden to transport loads weighing higher
than the machine max. carrying capacity.
- It is absolutely forbidden to touch the running
parts or to come between them. (in particular the
crawlers) by keeping at a safety distance.
- It is absolutely forbidden to have foreign persons
stand within the machine working area.
- Avoid parking the machine on a slope. If necessary,
block the machine with logs or suitable stones to
be placed between the ground and the crawlers.
- During the maintenance operations, do not operate
the machine in poorly ventilated rooms: the exhaust
gases are harmful to the health.
- Periodically check the tightening of the screws, nuts
and couplings, if any.
- It is absolutely forbidden to remove or tamper the
safety devices.
- The maintenance of the machine shall be performed
by skilled personnel only after shutting the engine
off, by following the instructions of this manual and
of the engine manual
- Before refueling or topping up with oil, stop the
engine and to let it cool down.
While refueling, do not smoke and do not get near
free ames. Be sure to thoroughly wipe the spilled
gasoline before starting the engine.
- If any part clogs or stops, stop the engine and then
remove the foreign body.
- Before turning, disengage the differential lock.
SECTION 3
Transport
3.1 TRANSPORT
The machine is packed in cartons. In case of storing,
do not place more than two packages of the same
type one over the other (1+1).
Do not put a load of more than 200 kg (having the
base with dimensions bigger than the dimensions of
the carton) on one single carton.
For transporting needs, the machine is delivered with
the handlebars placed on the engine bonnet, the PTO
engaging lever, the speed selection lever (12 and
13 Fig. 1) partially assembled and the wheels under
separate package.
In order to assemble them, please make reference to
the specic paragraphs listed further on.
We remind you that the packing materials are recy-
clable and therefore, after using them, they shall be
delivered to special centres in compliance with the law
in force in the country where the machine will be used.
If the machine needs to be lifted, this must only be
done using the right kind of belt (Fig. 6), sudden
movements must be avoided and balance has to be
kept through the handlebars as shown in Fig. 6.
In case it is necessary to transport the machine on a
long route, this may be loaded onto trucks or other
suitable means of transport.
In order to load the machine onto the means of trans-
port, it is necessary to have two special loading ramps.
These ramps shall have a capacity of at least Kg. 250
each, a width of at least cm 20, the edges about cm 5
high and such a length so that the inclination does not
exceed the 15°/20° with respect to the horizon line;
they must be also equipped with a hooking system
to the means of transport.
DANGER
The loading operations may be very dangerous if
they are not performed with the utmost care.
Before loading, therefore, send away the unauthor-
ized personnel; clear and limit the transfer area and
check the integrity and the suitability of the means
of transport.
Check also the correct distance between the ramps.
You must make sure that this area is clear and that
there is a sufcient «escape area», that is a free and
