These activities must be carried out with the engine off, the
power take off disengaged and the hand brake applied. If
needed, lift the equipment and place it on supports, thus
preventing any injuries that might be caused by a sudden fall
of the equipment.
START UP
After carrying out these adjustments, the equipment is ready for use. When at the working area, do
not start the power take off with the tiller in working position in the ground. Be sure to lift it by a
few centimetres using the tractor lift. Start the engine, engage the power take off, lower the
equipment to its working position and start.
