manufacturer if they are unsure about the use of the machine and the
interpretation of this manual.
• Do not use the equipment if you are tired, ill or under the e󰀨ects of alcohol,
medicines or drugs.
• When driving the tractor, the operator must manage Tiller operation using
the controls available on the control console of the tractor.
2.6 CLOTHING AND PPE
Personnel must use the safeties provided and PPE during use and maintenance
of the vehicle.
The correct clothing to be worn during maintenance operations and use of the
Tiller is:
• Gloves;
• Accident-prevention shoes or boots with iron toe-cap;
• Protective goggles;
• Overalls with elasticated wrists, ankles and waist.
Furthermore:
• Given that the machine can generate emissions of dust during operation, if
the tractor does not have a closed cab, the operator must wear an anti-dust
mask (especially in dry and dusty areas);
• In the event that the tractor is not equipped with a soundproof cab, the
operator must wear protective headphones (especially on stony ground);.
• The operator assigned to operate the machine is advised to avoid wearing
items of clothing that can cause entanglement (scarves, belts, wide sleeves,
etc.).
2.7 SAFE USE OF THE MACHINE
• The machine is usually used during the day. If night use is exceptionally
required or in conditions of reduced visibility, the tractor's lighting system or
any auxiliary lighting system must be used.
• Check the equipment carefully before each start-up.
• Check the tightness of the nuts and bolts daily (see tightening table sec.
14.1) and check that the metal structures are in good condition: repair if
necessary.
• Make sure that the snap hooks of the PTO drive shaft guard retaining chains
are engaged to the appropriate slots so that the plastic guard remains xed
and does not rotate with the shaft itself.
• Before leaving the tractor, and before any maintenance operations, engage
the parking brake, stop the engine, remove the ignition key from the
dashboard and keep it safe.
• When the machine is in operation, the blades are rotating rapidly: remain at
a safe distance to prevent accidental contact with moving tools or from being
struck by any objects projected by these.

It is absolutely forbidden to tamper with the equipment for any reason.
Any arbitrary modication made to this machine exempts SICMA from any

prepare it for sowing.
It has been constructed to be combined with tractors of adequate size, capable
of withstanding their weight, equipped with a hydraulic lift, with universal three-
point coupling and rear power take-o󰀨 for the operation of the tiller via a PTO
drive haft coupling.
