GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPAIR WORK
Any repair work must be carried out with the machine at rest and disconnected from
the tractor.
Do not carry out welding without authorisation and instructions from the
manufacturers.
Disconnect the machine from the tractor before any welding work in order not to
damage the battery. Always use a protective mask, goggles and gloves when welding,
sanding or grinding or when using a hammer or drill.
Always work on the machine out of doors. If you have to operate the machine when
connected to the tractor in an enclosed are (for example when testing after repair
and/or maintenance) ensure that there is sufficient ventilation so as to prevent
noxious exhaust gases accumulating.
In order to acquire the necessary control and to operate in safety, practise various
manoeuvres by simulating those required in the workplace with the help of an
experienced person.
If you activate the machine while it is raised from the ground, make sure there is
nobody standing nearby or in a dangerous position.
LAYNING UP FOR EXTENDED PERIODS
At the end of the season, or when an extended period of inactivity is envisaged, it is
advisable to:
Clean the machine following instructions an allow it to dry.
Check it carefully and replace any damaged or worn parts.
Thoroughly tighten all screws and bolts.
Grease the machine thoroughly and then cover it completely and lay it up in a dry
place.
It is to the user’s advantage to carry out these operations carefully. In this way, he
will have a machine in perfect condition when work is restarted.
On recommencing work, repeat all the proper checks so as to be certain of working in
conditions of maximum safety.
