1.2 INFORMATION ABOUT THE MACHINE
The Manufacturer chooses the materials used to produce
the machine to suit the specific use for which this latter has
been designed and built: substantially different uses can
lead to damage to persons and property as well as
preventing the machine from operating correctly.
Strict compliance with the conditions of use, repairs and
maintenance as specified in this manual is an essential part
of the envisaged use of the machine.
Use of the machine for purposes other than those for which
it has been designed and which are not indicated in this
manual relieves the Manufacturer from all direct or indirect
liability in merit.
Arbitrary modifications to this machine relieve the
Manufacturer from all liability for damage or injuries of even
a serious nature, to operators, third parties and property.
Correct use of the machine, strict compliance with the
instructions given in this manual and application of all the
precautions required to prevent danger situations will help
you to avoid accidents and injuries, will allow the machine
to operate better and for a longer time and will reduce
breakdowns to the minimum.
The Manufacturer declines all and every objective and
subjective liability deriving from failure to apply and
comply with the regulations indicated in the manual.
1.2.1 MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
Each machine is provided with an identification plate (1 fig.
1) bearing the following data:
- Manufacturers name and address;
- CE marking;
- A) Serial number;
- B) Weight of the machine.
- C) Type of machine.
- D) Year of manufacturer.
The data on the identification plate of the machine should
be copied into the last page of this manual and must always
be stated when spare parts and/or assistance are required.
The standard machine is supplied with:
- Operation and maintenance manual for the machine;
- CE declaration of conformity.
1.2.2 PROPER USES
The machine described in this manual has been designed
built and protected to be solely used in agriculture for mowing
the grass of stable lawns and meadows, as well as alfalfa
and other forage crops.
The machine is hitched to the tractor by means of the three-
point hitch and moves over the ground thanks to the turning
discs that support the blades operated by the power take-
off of the tractor.
The machine consists of a structure whose working
component is formed by a bar that supports the discs to
which the fast spinning knives are connected.
The crops are therefore cut owing to the effect of the kinetic
energy of the knives against the base part of the stems that
opposes greater flexural strength.
The machine is not suitable for use in sectors other than
that of agriculture.
WARNING
The machine must be used by one single operator.
Use differing from the one specified above is considered
improper.
This machine is usually used during the day. The tractors
lighting system must be used if, in exceptional situations,
the machine must be used at night or when the visibility is
poor.
1.2.3 PRECAUTIONS
Take the following precautions before working with the
machine:
- make sure that there are no large stones or pebbles in the
soil where the work is to be carried out (diameter larger
than approx. 10 - 15 cm / 3.93 - 5.9 inches);
- make sure that there are no tree stubs on the ground that
project more than approx. 10 cm / 3.93 inches and with
diameters of more than approx. 10 - 15 cm / 3.93 - 5.9 inches;
- make sure that there are no metal objects of any type on
the ground, particularly netting, cables, ropes, chains, pipes,
etc.;
- carefully apply and comply with the instructions concerning
the adjustment of the height of the machine from ground
level. make sure that there are no bystanders within the
range of action of the machine and up to 50 meters / 1968
inches away;
- never work close to the ground when the soil is wet or the
crop could be damaged. Such action would also impair the
efficiency and balance of the machine.
In these cases the knives become excessively worn and
there is a notable power draw from the engine.
Lengthy jobs close to the ground tend to harden the soil,
worsening its characteristics and spoiling it for future crops.
