Do not operate implement on unstable (muddy or sandy) or rocky
ground.
Keep the machine clean from debris and foreign objects which may
damage functioning or cause injury.
Do not use the machine if the category of the connecting pins of the
Rotary Hoe does not match that of the tractor hitch system.
Do not use the machine with missing bolts, screws, pins or safety pins.
Never use the machine to transport or lift people, animals or objects.
Make certain that at least 20 % of the total weight (tractor, implement
and ballast) is on the front axle of the tractor to ensure stability. Add
front ballast if required.
Do not operate the implement if the driveshaft is damaged. The
driveshaft could break during operation, causing serious injury or
death. Remove the driveshaft and repair or replace it before continuing
operation.
5.4 FOLLOW OPERATING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the machine, be sure to have cleared the operating area
from obstacles (stones, branches, debris, etc.). Mark all the obstacles
that cannot be removed (e.g., by means flags).
Its forbidden to stand near an implement like this when parts are
moving.
The operator must operate implement (lifting/lowering) only from the
driving seat of the tractor. Do not perform lifting manoeuvres on the
side or behind the tractor.
Before making changes in direction, turns or going in reverse, slightly
lift the implement off the ground after disengaging the power take-off,
to avoid damage to the machine.
In the presence of step or slopes (greater than 15 degree) the action of
this machine may cause instability of the tractor with a risk of tipping
off which a consequence may be serious injury or death hazard.
Consult the manual for the tractor to determine the maximum slope
that the tractor can handle.
