The machine can be delivered all assembled or not (in this case follow the assembling instructions
enclosed). In both cases, before using the spreader it is necessary to control that all the fixing
elements (screws, nuts, washers) are well locked and make sure that all the safety devices are
located at their right position.
Verify that the gear box is fixed to the machine frame by 4 screws: two longer (Hexagonal head
12x50) in the front part, at the Pto shaft connection side, and two shorter (hexagonal head 12x40)
back , at the pendulum side.
Before coupling the machine to the 3-point hitch, positioning the safety devices to the tractor, so that
it is not possible the involuntary and/or accidental raising and lowering of the arms.
The 3-point hitch of the tractor and of the machine must coincide or must be adapted.
In proximity of arms rods of the back lifter of the tractor, there is the danger of wounding, because of
crushing and cutting points.
Do not use the external controls for the lifting of the machine. During transport position block the
lateral stop of the rods.
