5.0 SAFETY STANDARDS: how to avoid accidents
To avoid accidents, pay close attention to the warning notices
affixed on the machine and read this guide carefully.
The use of the spreader is restricted to the fuctions, for which
it has been designed and which are described in the present
guide. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any
damages to things or injuries to people caused by a wrong use
of the spreader.
Before starting the spreader, make sure all protection devices
and guards are mounted correctly.
Make sure no bystanders (especially children) or animals are in
the working area. This is extremely important when the spreader
is being used near pubblic or easily accessible roads.
Minors (under 18) are not allowed to operate the spreader.
The spreader can be used with every kind of tractor of suitable
power, whose couplings are compatible with those of the spreader
and which is equipped with all P.T.O. and cardan shaft protection
devices.
Before connecting the P.T.O., make sure the revolution number of
the tractor corresponds to that of the spreader. In any case, never
exceed 540 rpm.
It is strictly forbidden to spread iron pieces, stones, grivel, glass
and similar materials as they may injure people and cause
damages to things.
Never load the hopper with wet products as they may obstruct the
outlets.
During work, wear close-fitting and laced-up garments, heavy
safety shoes, safety gloves and mask especially while spreading
powdery fertilizers in windy weather.
After using the spreader, turn the engine off, apply the handbrake,
lower the spreader to the ground, disengage the P.T.O. and , if the
hopper is still partially full, even the product up in order to avoid
accidental tippings.
Do not carry out any maintenance or cleaning operation while the
spreader is connected to the 3-point hitch of the tractor.
Do not carry out any maintenance works while the spreader is
hitched, unless it has been carefully blocked. A sudden fall of the
spreader is always possible.
It is strictly forbidden to transport persons while the spreader is
in operation or during transfers.
During transfers, make sure the P.T.O. is disengaged.
When travelling on public roads, connect the spreader to the
tractor as described on pag. 39 of the present guide. A wrong
connection may alter the vehicle stability. It is necessary to abide
by the national traffic code.
We remind you that a careful operator is the best insurance
against accidents.
We recommend to keep both the identification plate and the
warning symbols clean and in good condition. In case they become
illegible or get lost, replace them immediately with original ones.
