good.
- Comply with all the accident prevention measures recom-
mended and described in this manual.
- When a machine is hitched to a tractor, the weights will be
distributed differently on the axles. It is therefore advisable to
add ballast at the front of the tractor in order to balance the
weight on the axles.
- When hitched to the tractor, the machine can only be operated
with the driveline complete with shields fixed by their chains.
keep well away from the spinning driveline.

safety devices for transportation and use are in perfect condi-
tions.

country when travelling on public roads.
- Do not exceed the maximum tolerated weight on the tractor
axle.
- Become familiar with the controls and their functions before
beginning work.
- Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose or flapping garments,
scarves, necklaces or ties which could become caught up in
moving parts. Wear protective garments such as goggles,
gloves and protective footwear if required in the country where
the machine is used or when working on particular stony ground.
