1)General instructions for operation and maintenance
Read all the directions carefully before using the machine. When in doubt,
seek advice from the manufacturers. The manufacturing company declines all
liability for non-compliance with the following safety and accident-prevention
instructions.
1- Pay attention to the danger signs and symbols in this manual and on the machine.
2- Do not touch moving parts.
3- All work on the machine (including adjustments) must always be carried out with the
tractor immobilized and the engine switched off.
4- It is strictly prohibited to carry persons or objects on the machine and/or on the tractor.
5- Driving the tractor with the machine connected is absolutely forbidden to persons
lacking suitable experience, or who are in poor health, or who do not have a suitable
driving license.
6- All accident-prevention measures recommended in this manual should be strictly
followed.
7- When a machine is attached to the tractor, always evaluate the suitability of the tractor
for the purpose, in order to work safely. Keep in mind that when a machine is attached
to the tractor – even if it is a towed type – it alters the tractor’s stability, and therefore all
the necessary precautions must be taken (ballast, tire pressure, etc.).
8- Before operating the tractor and machine, check that all transport and operational
safety devices are complete and working.
9- When driving on public roads, you should comply with the Highway Code regulations
for the country concerned.
10- Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the control devices and how they work.
11- Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear clothing which is loose or which could become
entangled in rotating or moving parts.
12- Never leave the driving seat when the tractor is running.
13- It is extremely important to appreciate that road holding, steering and braking may be
significantly affected with the machine attached.
14- Before connecting the unit, stop the engine, apply the parking brake and remove the
ignition key from the instrument panel.
15- Spare parts must meet the requirements as defined by the manufacturer. Use only
original spare parts.
16- Safety decals must always be clearly visible. They must be kept clean and replaced if
they become too illegible (they can be ordered from the agent if necessary).
