Copyright ©2009 della Alpego spa® - All rights are reserved. Reprinting or unauthorized use of this manual is strictly forbidden without written permission by Alpego spa

 

 

 

3. SAFETY REGULATIONS 

 

3.1. 

USING THE MACHINE SAFELY 

 

Read the user and maintenance manual carefully before starting to use and carry out maintenance on the equipment. 

 

 

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to people, animals or things caused by the non-
observance of the safety regulations. 

 

 

It is forbidden to use the machine for purposes other than those expressly 
indicated in this manual. 

 

 

It is forbidden for people to drive the tractor if they do not have a current driving 
licence, if they do not have the necessary experience, or if they are not in good 
health. 

 

 

Examine the stickers on the machine carefully and respect the indications they give. 

 

 

While manoeuvring, do not allow people or animals to enter the operating range of the machine. 

 

 

Do not allow people, animals or things to approach the machine while it is working in order to avoid being hit by the clods and 
stones that the machine ejects.  

 

 

It is forbidden to enter the area between the tractor and the machine to activate the external commands of the hydraulic lifter. 

 

 

 

Always remain seated in the driving position of the tractor, and only come down when the tractor power takeoff is disabled 
and the handbrake has been activated. 

 

 

During work pauses deactivate the power takeoff, 
switch off the motor, position the machine on the 
ground and activate the tractor handbrake. 

 

 

Do not work without the protections. 

 

 

Do not allow the machine to operate loadless (i.e. 
while it is out of the ground). 

 

 

Do not turn sharply if the machine is embedded in the ground, and never work in reverse.  

 

 

Always raise the machine when changing direction and reversing. 

 

 

During transport, or each time the machine has to be lifted, it is advisable to regulate the tractor lifting group in such a manner 
as to keep the machine at a height of minimum 45 cm from the ground.  Avoid using public roads if the machine is dirty with 
earth, grass or other things that produce dirt and can cause traffic blockage.  Do not allow the machine to fall violently to the 
ground; instead lower it slowly to permit the gradual insertion of the blades into the earth.  

 

 

Not following the points mentioned below causes all the machine components to oscillate strongly, which compromises their 
integrity. 

 

 

While transporting on roads with the machine raised, lock the command lever of the tractor hydraulic lifter.  

 

 

The machine and its accessories (if present) should be equipped with suitable signals and protections when on the road. 

 

 

Do not use the machine as a means of transporting people, animals or things. 

 

 

Do not work on earth or in places that can compromise machine stability. 

 

 

Only use the cardan shaft supplied by the manufacturer, which is equipped with the relative safeties against overloads.
