REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Any repair work must be carried out with the machine at rest and disconnected from the tractor.
Do not carry out welding without authorization and instructions from the manufacturers.
Disconnect the machine from the tractor before any welding work in order not to damage the battery.
Always use a protective mask, goggles and gloves when welding, sanding or grinding or when using a ham-
mer or drill.
Always work on the machine out of doors. If you have to operate the machine when connected to the tractor
in an enclosed area (for example when testing after repair and/or maintenance), ensure that there is suffi-
cient ventilation so as to prevent noxious exhaust gases accumulating.
In order to acquire the necessary control and to operate in safety, practise various manoeuvres by simulating
those required in the workplace with the help of an experienced person.
If you activate the machine while it is raised from the ground, make sure there is nobody standing nearby or
in a dangerous position.

LAYING UP FOR EXTENDED PERIODS
At the end of the season, or when an extended period of inactivity is envisaged, it is advisable to:
a) Clean the machine following instructions and allow it to dry.
b) Check it carefully and replace any damaged or worn parts.
c) Thoroughly tighten all screws and bolts.
d) Grease the machine thoroughly and then cover it completely and lay it up in a dry place.
It is to the user's advantage to carry out these operations carefully. In this way, he will have a machine in
perfect condition when work is restarted.
On recommencing work, repeat all the proper checks so as to be certain of working in conditions of maxi-
mum safety.
