31) For transport, adjust and fasten the lateral lifting arm chains
of the tractor; check that the seed and fertilizer hopper
covers are closed properly; lock the hy-draulic lifting control
lever.
32) Road movements must be per-formed with all tanks empty.
33) For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment
must be placed in the transportation position.
34) Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports and
tables for signaling of dimensions.
35)When the dimensions of carried or partially-carried equipment
conceal the tractor's signalling and lighting devices, these
must also be installed on the equipment itself, in
conformity with regulations of the highway code of the
country involved. When in operation make sure that the
lighting system is in perfect working order. It is also
important to remember that the correct signalling sequence
of the head-lights includes (Fig. 7):
1 - Direction indicator
2 - Red position light
3 - Stop light
Cardan shaft
35) The equipment installed can only be controlled by means of
the Cardan shaft complete with the necessary overload safety
devices and guards fastened with the appropriate chain.
36) Only the Cardan shaft supplied by the Manufacturer must
be used.
37) The engine must not be running when installing and removing
the Cardan shaft.
38) Care must be taken regarding the safety and correct assembly
of the Cardan shaft.
39) Use the chain provided to stop the Cardan shaft from
rotating.
40) Always check carefully that the Cardan shaft guard is always
in position, both during transporta-tion and operation.
41) Frequently and set intervals check the Cardan shaft guard,
it must always be in excellent condition.
43)Before engaging the power take-off, check that the set
rpm corresponds to that indicated by the sticker on the
equipment.
44)Before inserting the power take-off, make sure that there
are no people or animals nearby and that the rpm selected
corre-sponds to that permitted. Never exceed the
maximum admissible speed.
45)Watch out for the rotating univer-sal joint.
46)Do not insert the power take-off with the engine off or
synchro-nized with the wheels.
47)Always disconnect the power take-off when the Cardan
shaft is at too wide an angle (never more than 10° - Fig. 6)
and when it is not being used.
48)Only clean and grease the Cardan shaft when the power
take-off is disconnected, the engine is off, the hand brake
pulled and the key removed.
49)When not in use, place the Cardan shaft on the support
pro-vided for it.
50)After having dismantled the Cardan shaft, place the protec-
tive cover on the power take-off shaft again.
2.0.1. Maintenance in safety
51)Do not proceed with maintenance and cleaning if the power
take-off has not been disconnected first, the engine power
off, the hand brake pulled and the tractor blocked with a
wooden block or stone of the right size under the
wheels.
52)Periodically check that the bolts and nuts are tight, and if
necessary tighten them again. For this it would be advisable
to use a torque wrench, respecting the values of 52 Nm for
10 bolts, resistance class 8.8, and 142 Nm for M14 bolts
resistance class 8.8.
53)During assembling, maintenance, cleaning, fitting, etc., with
the seeding machine raised, place adequate supports under
the equipment as a precaution.
54)The spare parts must correspond to the manufacturer's
specifications. Use only original spares.
