During loading the Pto shaft must be disconnected, the tractor engine stopped, the control board key
must be removed and the parking brake put on.
Do not activate the pendulum when the exits are closed, because the fertilizer could be crushed
compromising the right machine working and causing breakings on the dosing system and on the
gear box.
During the hopper loading phase, if the machine needs to be lowered above the limit allowed by the
PTO shaft, disconnect it before lowering the machine further more.
Do not drive for very long distances with a full load and do not put full bags on the fertilizer loaded in
the hopper during the transport to the field or during the working, in order not to overload the
capacity of the machine and to compress the fertilizer.
