MT Owner’s Manual
6 USE AND OPERATING RULES
6.1 Starting:
Before using the shredder, check the tightness of all bolts and the integrity of all
guards. Check that the number of revolutions and the rotational direction of the
power takeoff of the tractor correspond to those required by the shredder, see decal
on the gearbox (Figure 37).
Engage the power takeoff at
low engine RPM (without
jerking) to avoid damaging the
transmission (gearbox and
belts).
6.2 Working Speed:
Working speed should be chosen to suit the material to be cut and the degree of
chopping required. The optimum speed ranges from 2 to 5 miles per hour.
6.3 Transport Position:
Check that the shredder is set up in
accordance with the road transport safety
laws (Figure 38).
If the machine is equipped with wheels,
remember to place them as in Figure 39 and
to block them with the special pins.
During transport reduce speed, especially on
bumpy roads. The weight of the shredder
may render driving difficult and damage the
shredder itself.
Check that the hydraulic lift levers of the
tractor are locked to avoid lowering the
shredder when in transport.
The power takeoff must be disconnected
during transport.
Never overlift the shredder, as the PTO shaft
must not exceed 30° drive angle (Figure 39).
