TRASPORTING
To set the tiller for transportation, perform the following steps:
idle tractor engine, disengage tractor PTO, and wait for stopping of all rotating parts;
lift the tiller until the transport position, making sure the driveline transmission tubes does not
contact tractor or tiller. A minimum gap of 2 cm should be leaved between the tubes and tractor
and tiller (see also section Driveline installation);
lock the tractor lifting hydraulics, turn off the engine, set the parking brake, remove ignition key
and get off the tractor;
adjust the parking stand to the highest position, through the use of relative retaining pin, to
prevent its possible damage during transport.
When driving on public roads, follow strictly all local laws and traffic regulations.
WARNING
When driving on public roads, reduce your speed, be aware of traffic around you and proceed in
such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

MAINTENANCE
Proper and regular maintenance ensures a long life of the equipment, avoids failures and saves time
and repair costs.
Periodic inspections and maintenance operations described in this section must be performed by
operator in the times and terms prescribed. Failure to comply with maintenance prescriptions can
compromise the functioning and duration of the machine, and consequently invalidate the warranty.
The frequency of maintenance indicated refers to normal conditions of use: it must be intensified in
severe operating conditions (frequent stops and starts, prolonged winter season etc ...).
Repairs, maintenance and modifications other than those mentioned in this paragraph should NOT
be performed without consulting the Manufacturer or your Dealer. Manufacturer, as the case, may
give the authorization to proceed with the repair together with all necessary instructions.
Wrong or inappropriate repairs or maintenance may generate abnormal operating conditions,
equipment damage and generate risks for the operator.
WARNING
For safety reasons, all maintenance operations must be performed with tractor PTO disengaged, tiller
stopped and completely lowered to the ground or onto support blocks, parking brake set, tractor
engine shut off, and ignition key removed.
IMPORTANT
Respect the environment. Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by the chemical
Manufacturer.
