2.3. OPERATING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all safety instructions could result in serious injury or death
• Never engage the tractor PTO in the presence of people close to the PTO Shaft. The body,
hair or clothing of a person can get caught in rotating parts, causing serious injury or death.
• Before engaging the PTO and during all operations, make sure that no person or animal is in
immediate area of action of the machine. Never use the tiller if people are in his working
area.
• Before using the machine, be sure to have cleared the operating area from obstacles
• Before making changes in direction, turns or going in reverse, slightly lift the tiller from the
ground after disengaging the power take-off, to avoid damage to the machine.
• The operator must operate tiller lifting/lowering only from the driving seat of the tractor. Do
not perform lifting maneuvers on side or behind the tractor.
• Never leave the driver's seat when the tractor is turned on. Before leaving the tractor, lower
the tiller to the ground, disengage the PTO, insert the parking brake, stop engine, and remove
the key from the control panel. • Keep all Shields / Guards in place and in good condition to
avoid risk of entanglement with serious injury or death. Replace all damaged/broken shields
immediately.
• Prolonged use of the tiller can cause overheating of the gearbox. Do not touch the gearbox
during use and immediately after, it could be extremely hot and cause severe burn.
2.4 TRANSPORTING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all safety instructions could result in serious injury or death
• Comply with state and local laws.
• Use towing vehicle and trailer of adequate size and capacity. Secure equipment towed on a
trailer with tie downs and chains.
• Sudden braking can cause a towed trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed trailer
is not equipped with brakes.
• Avoid contact with any overhead utility lines or electrically charged conductors.
• Always drive with load on end of loader arms low to the ground.
• Always drive straight up and down steep inclines with heavy end of a tractor with loader
attachment on the “uphill” side.

• When driving on roads, the implement must be in transport position adequately raised from
the road surface, with tractor lifting hydraulics locked so that the tiller cannot be lowered
