DRIVE EQUIPMENT
(Power take-off and universal drive shafts)
1 - Only use universal drive shafts supplied with the
machine or recommended by the manufacturer.
2 - Power take-off and universal drive shaft guards
must always be fi tted and in good condition.
3 - Ensure that the tubes of the universal drive shafts
are properly guarded, both in the working position
and in the transport position.
4 - Before connecting or disconnecting a universal
drive shaft, disengage the power take-off , turn off the
engine and re-move the key from the ignition.
5 - If the primary universal drive shaft is fi tted with
a torque limiter or a free wheel, these must be
mounted on the machine power take-off .
6 - Always ensure that universal drive shafts are
fi tted and locked correctly.
7 - Always ensure that universal drive shaft guards
are immobilized in rotation using the specially
provided chains.
8 - Before engaging power take-off , ensure that
the speed selected and the direction of rotation of
the power take-off comply with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
9 - Before engaging power take-off , ensure that no
persons or animals are close to the machine.
10 - Disengage power take-off when the
universal drive shaft angle limits laid down by the
manufacturer are in danger of being exceeded.
11 - Caution! When power take-off has been
disengaged, moving parts may continue to rotate
for a few moments. Do not approach until they have
reached a complete standstill.
12 - On removal from the machine, rest the universal
drive shafts on the specially provided supports.
13 - After disconnecting the universal drive shafts
from the power take-off , the protective cap should be
fi tted to the power take-off .
14 - Damaged power take-off and universal drive
shaft guards must be replaced immediately.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
1 - Caution! The hydraulic circuit is pressurized.
2 - When fi tting hydraulic motors or cylinders,
ensure that the circuits are connected correctly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
3 - Before fi tting a hose to the tractor’s hydraulic
circuit, ensure that the tractor-side and machine-side
circuits are not pressurized.
4 - The user of the machine is strongly recommended
to identify the hydraulic couplings between the
tractor and the machine in order to avoid wrong
connection. Caution! There is a danger of reversing
the functions (for example: raise/lower).
5 - Check hydraulic hoses once a year:
. Damage to the outer surface
. Porosity of the outer surface
. Deformation with and without pressure
. State of the fi ttings and seals
The maximum working life for hoses is 6 years.
When replacing them, ensure that only hoses with
the specifi cations and grade recommended by the
machine manufacturer are used.
6 - When a leak is found, all necessary precautions
should be taken to avoid accidents.
7 - Pressurized liquid, particularly hydraulic circuit
oil, may cause serious injury if it comes into contact
with the skin. If the case of injury, consult a doctor
immediately. There is a risk of infection.
8 - Before any operation on the hydraulic circuit,
lower the machine, release the pressure from the
circuit, turn off the engine and remove the key from
the ignition.
MAINTENANCE
1 - Before commencing any maintenance, servicing
or repair work, or before attempting to locate the
source of a breakdown or fault, it is essential that the
power take-off is disengaged, the engine turned off
and the key removed from the ignition.
2 - Check regularly that nuts and screws are not
loose. Tighten if necessary.
3 - Before carrying out maintenance work on a raised
machine, prop it up using appropriate means of
support.
4 - When replacing a working part (seed drill coulter),
wear protective gloves and only use appropriate
tools.
5 - To protect the environment, it is forbidden to
throw away oil, grease or fi lters of any kind. Give
them to specialist recycling fi rms.
6 - Before operating on the electric circuit, disconnect
the power source.
7 - Protective devices likely to be exposed to wear
and tear should be checked regularly. Replace them
immediately if they are damaged.
8 - Spare parts should comply with the standards
and specifi cations defi ned by the manufacturer. Only
use Sky spare parts.
9 - Before commencing any electric welding work
on the tractor or the towed machine, disconnect the
alternator and battery cables.
10 - Repairs aff ecting parts under stress or pressure
(springs, pressure accumulators, etc.) should be
carried out by suitably qualifi ed engineers with
special tools.
