22) Before engaging the PTO, check that the RPM rate is that prescribed. Never exchange
the 540 RPM rate for 1000 RPM. It is absolutely forbidden to stand within the
operative range of the machine where there are moving parts.
23) Before leaving the tractor, lower the implement coupled to the lift unit, stop the
engine, engage the hand brake and remove the ignition key from the control panel.
24) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and the machine (Image: B)
when the engine is running and the Cardan shaft is engaged without having first
engaged the hand brake. Keep a safe distance from the machine at work to avoid
being hit by possible flying stones, etc.
25) Always set the lift control lever to the locked position before coupling or releasing the
implement from the three-point coupling.
26) The category of the implement coupling pins must correspond to that of the lift
coupling
27) Take care when working near the lift links. Beware, it's a very dangerous zone.
28) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and the implement when
maneuvering the lift control from the outside (Fig. 1)
29) Fix the side lift links with the relative chains and idlers during the transport phase.
30) Set the control lever of the hydraulic lift to the locked position during road transport
with the implement raised. When hoisting from the ground, the joints of the Cardan
shaft are bent to more than 40° (power takeoff turned off). Detach the shaft from the
power takeoff of the tractor.
31) Only use the Cardan shaft recommended by the Manufacturer.
32) Frequently and periodically check the Cardan shaft guard. It must constantly be in an
excellent condition and well-welded.
33) Take great care of the Cardan shaft guard, both in the transport and work positions.
34) The Cardan shaft must only be installed or dismantled while the engine is off.
35) Take great care to ensure that the Cardan shaft is correctly assembled and safe, and
carefully check the locking, both on the P.T.O. of the machine and on the P.T.O. of the
tractor.
36) Use the supplied latch to prevent the Cardan shaft guard from turning both on the
machine's and on the tractor's side.
37) Before engaging the P.T.O., ensure that there are no persons or animals in the field of
action of the machine and that the selected running rate corresponds to the
permissible value. Never exceed the recommended maximum rate.
38) Never engage the P.T.O. when the engine is off.
39) Always disengage the P.T.O. when the Cardan shaft is set at an excessively open angle
(never beyond 30 degree – Image: C) and when it is not in use.
