Installation and operation
First unpack the machine.
Assemble the parts supplied demounted, as described in
the document ENCLOSED (with this manual) Assembly
instructions.
Pay the utmost ATTENTION to the lifting, handling and
transporting manoeuvres when the machine is being
prepared.
DANGER
The lifting, handling and transporting operations can
be very dangerous unless they are carried out with the
greatest attention: have all persons not involved in the
actual work move away from the area and delimit the
zone where the operations are to be carried out. Make
sure that the available means are suitable. Do not touch
hanging loads and keep at a safe distance away. The
loads must not be raised more than 20 centimeters from
the ground when transported.
Also make sure that the area in which the operations
take place is clear and that there is a sufficient escape
route, i.e. a free, safe zone to which the operators can
quickly move if the load should fall.
WARNING
The safety hooks and ropes used to lift the
machine must be of an adequate carrying
capacity. They must be inserted into the points
provided for lifting purpose, as indicated on the
decals affixed to the machine.
Lift the machine with the utmost caution and move it slowly,
without any sharp jolts.
There must be no one within the range of action of the lifting
equipment, when the transporting operations are being
carried out.
The machine can also be placed on a wooden pallet and
tied to it. After this, it must only be transported by a lift truck.
It is advisable to have this operation done by qualified and
specifically trained personnel (lift truck drivers, harnessing
experts, etc.).
3.1 SAFETY REGULATIONS WHEN HITCHING
TO THE TRACTOR
When the machine is used, serviced, repaired,
transported on the roads or stored, the operator must
wear safety footwear, safety gloves, ear protection,
goggles and a dust mask to protect himself against the
objects that may be thrown up or dropped by the
machine as it operates.
Hitching the machine to the tractor could be dangerous.
Take the utmost care throughout the entire operation.
The front axle of the tractor becomes lightened in relation to
the weight applied the moment in which the machine is
hitched:
the front axle load must be at least 20% of the empty weight
of the tractor.
Before reversing with the tractor, make sure that the machine
is in a stable and horizontal position.
Before you hitch the tractor to the three-point coupling,
position the safety device of the tractor so that it cannot be
lifted or lowered involuntarily or accidentally.
The tractors three-point hitch must match the machine or
be adapted.
You could be injured in the link rod zone of the tractors rear
power lift owing to the sharp points which could crush or
cut. Only hitch and unhitch the machine on a compact, flat
surface.
Do not use the external control to lift the implement. Lock
the side stop of the linkage in the transport position.
