28) Before leaving the tractor, lower the implement coupled to
the lift unit, stop the engine, engage the hand brake, remove
the ignition key from the control panel, cover the cutters and
outer skid with the relative guards. Raise the mowing bar
(transport protection) in compilance with the instructions given
in this handbook.
29) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and the
implement (Fig. 5) when the engine is running and the cardan
shaft is engaged without having first engaged the hand brake
and placed a block or stone under the wheels to prevent
them from moving.
30) Always set the lift control lever to the locked position before
coupling or releasing the implement from the three-point
coupling.
31) The category of the implement coupling pins must
correspond to that of the lift coupling.
32) Take care when working near the lift links. This is a very
dangerous zone.
33) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and the
implement when manoeuvering the lift control from the
outside (Fig. 5).
34) Fix the dide lift links with the relative chains and idlers during
the transporte phase; raise the cutter arm; cover the cutters
and outer skid with the relative guards; raise the mowing
bar; set the control lever of the hydraulic lift to the locked
position with the implement raised.
35) Only use the cardan shaft recom-mended by the Manufacturer.
36) Frequently and periodically check the cardan shaft guard. It
must always be in an excellent condition.
37) Take great care of the guard, both in the transport and work
positions.
38) The cardan shaft must only be installed or dismantled whilst
the engine is off.
39) Take great care to ensure that the cardan shaft is correctly
assembled and safe.
40) Use the supplied latch to prevent the cardan shaft guard
from turning.
41) Before engaging the pto, ensure that there are no persons or
animals in the field of action of the machine and that the
selected running rate corresponds to the permissible value.
Never exceed the recommended maximum rate.
42) Never engage the pto when the engine is off or in
synchronism with the wheels.
43) Always disengage the pto when the cardan shaft is set at an
excessively open angle (never beyond 10 degrees - Fig. 6)
and when it is not in use.
44) Only clean and grease the cardan shaft when the pto is
disengaged, the engine off, the hand brake engaged and the
ignition key removed.
45) Rest the cardan shaft on its stand when not in use.
46) Refit the protective cap on the pto shaft after having dismantled
the cardan shaft.
47) Movements beyond the work zone must only occur when the
implement vare is set in the transport position.
48) Before operating the mowing machine, check that the support
struts (C and 4, Fig.7) have been removed from underneath
the implement. Make sure that the mower has been correctly
mounted and adjusted. Check that the machine is in perfect
order and that all components subjet to wear and
deterioration are efficent.
49) During maintenance and work operations, make sure that
no other person goes near the tractor and the implement
and accidentally works the controls with the risk of causing
injury to persons and damage to property.
