5 – DIRECTIONS FOR USE
5.5 USE
After all the operations previously described have been performed, start the tractor engine while keeping the machine
slightly off the ground and engage the PTO with the engine turning at a slow rate.
As the tractor begins to move forward, gradually lower the machine to the ground and increase the engine rpm.
The driving speed of the tractor while working with the shredder should not exceed 10 Km/h, so
as to avoid breakings and damages (see picture).
5.6 USEFUL SUGGESTIONS
While the machine is working it is possible that the rotating blades lift rocks and other blunt objects.
Therefore, constantly make sure that there are no people, children or pets within the radius of actions of the machine.
The driver must also pay attention to what has been described.
Do not let the machine run idle (off the ground). When working, avoid to turn bends with the machine lowered to the
ground, and never work in reverse gear.
Whenever changing directions or driving in reverse gear always lift the machine off the ground. When transporting
the machine and whenever it becomes necessary to lift the machine, it is advisable to adjust the lifting system of the
tractor so that the machine is not lifted by more than 30÷35 cm. off the ground.
Avoid driving on public roads with the machine dirty with earth, grass or other materials which may soil the road or
impair road traffic.
Never drop the machine to the ground suddenly but lower it slowly. In the opposite case strong stresses would be
caused on all the machine components, which might compromise its integrity.
5.7 UNHITCHING
In order to unhitch the machine from the tractor, proceed as follows:
- disengage the tractor PTO;;
- lower the implement to the ground, turn off the engine and pull the hand-brake.
- disconnect the universal joint from the tractor PTO and rest it on the its supporting hook.
- engage the supporting stands before you unhitch the machine .
- Unhitch the 3-point hitch by performing the operations described in paragraph 4.3 in inverted order.
5.8 STORAGE
When the machine is to remain idle for a long period of time, in order to keep it sound in all of its components, it is
necessary to perform the following operations:
a) Carefully wash the machine, especially wash off fertilizers and chemical products etc. then dry it..
b) Make sure that the machine is in perfect working conditions..
It will be to your advantage to find it ready for use the next time you need it.
c) Protect all unvarnished metal parts with lubricants, then cover it or store it in a dry place.
