User and maintenance manual - SEMI-MOUNTED HARVESTER WITH TRUNK SHAKER - TR80
Rev. 0 - 05/2021
- The machine is semi-mounted, trailed by an agricultural tractor, to
which it is coupled by means of the 3-point hitch. The structure of the
vibrating head and its anchorage, if carried out correctly, ensures that
there is no risk of sudden movement of the same.
- The machine is driven by the tractor (PTO 540 rpm) carrying by means
of a cardan shaft (supplied). The use of the protected cardan shaft,
compliant with the standards (CE marked), and its correct installation
are essential safety conditions.
- The machine, through the brakes and gears of the tractor, complies
with the stopping and immobilization requirements for safety in all
operating conditions foreseen by the Manufacturer, and normally
encountered. Therefore, it must be mounted on tractors that have the
characteristics suitable for these purposes, with respect to the semi-
mounted mass, in terms of weight and power, in compliance with the
coupling limits, as well as on the basis of the characteristics of the
ground, in terms of grip and slope.
- Before coupling the machine, always check the tractor’s compatibility
with the same, scrupulously following the requirements provided (*).
Only carry out coupling if the tractor is suitable to the machine and
vice versa. If not, desist from coupling.
- Only use the systems and procedures envisaged and illustrated in this
manual to connect the machine to the tractor.
- The coupling/uncoupling operations of the machine to the tractor must
only be carried out by qualified operators experienced in carrying out
this operation.
- The coupling/uncoupling of the machine to the tractor must never,
for any reason and in any case, be performed by more operators
simultaneously. The presence and actions of each operator may be
extremely dangerous for other operators.
- During the coupling/uncoupling operations of the machine, it is
mandatory for the operator to equip himself with suitable approved
protection devices.
- The area for coupling/uncoupling the machine to the tractor must be
flat, clean and free from any source of danger. The approach of any
unauthorized person to this area is prohibited.
- Before carrying out any work on the machine, make sure that the
tractor is switched off, that the ignition key has been removed and that
the parking brake has been applied.
-
Pay maximum attention to the operations of coupling/uncoupling the
machine to the tractor; never position yourself between the tractor and
the machine when approaching, when moving the three-point lifter or
the hydraulic devices.
-
Proceed with coupling only after having checked that all coupling system
elements are free from abnormal wear, cracks, breaks, looseness or
lack of components.
-
Proceed with caution to hook up the hydraulic couplings. Follow
the identification codes shown on each pipe and the identification
pictogram of the hydraulic movements shown in this manual. Before
putting the hydraulic lines under pressure, always check the correctness
of the connection and the presence of any damage.
-
It is strictly forbidden to modify or alter the machine’s hydraulic system.
It is forbidden to install any oil-hydraulic component in the cab,
additional to the machine hydraulic system.
-
Park or stop the machine only on a solid and perfectly flat surface,
scrupulously observing the procedures illustrated in this manual. Never
abandon the driver’s seat of the tractor before having stopped the engine,
removed the ignition key, engaged the parking brake and properly
parked the machine.
-
It is forbidden for unauthorized persons to approach the parked
machine.
