Safety Precautions
Make sure the area is completely free of people or animals during use, as the machine
may toss up foreign bodies such as small rocks and dirt.
Disengage the power drive to the equipment during raising, changing direction, or for
any other maneuvering.
Shut off tractor engine before making any adjustments on the stone burier.
Never raise the stone burier too high when maneuvering over hills. It can damage the
PTO shaft. Always disengage the PTO.
The stone burier must run at the PTO speed (r. p.m.) indicated on the gearbox. A higher
speed may damage the machine.
Never use PTO shaft without a Torque Limiter Clutch. Immediately replace plastic
coverings of the PTO shaft as soon as any wear and tear occurs.
Never allow anyone to attempt to ride on machine.
Never work on or maintain the machine when in the raised position.
Always ensure that PTO shaft guards are in good order.
Transportation on Public Roads
Note
: Please observe the transportation laws in your area.
As the attachment of equipment to the tractor changes weight distribution, additional ballasts
may need to be used to restore the balance of the axle.
When the stone burier is not connected to the tractor, it must be transported with a suitable
lifting frame. A storage & fork lifting frame is provided with the machine. For lifting a machine,
a suspended point is indicated on the stone burier.
Use of Equipment
The attached stone burier machine must be operated solely using the original universal joint
equipped with safety guards which must be prevented from rotating by the appropriate chain.
Warning
: always check that the PTO speed on the tractor corresponds to the PTO speed on the
machine to be used; i.e. 540 to 540 and 1000 to 1000 PTO speeds must always be synchronized.
If the PTO speed is altered, the PTO shaft shear bolt must be changed.
Always disconnect the PTO when the machine is not in use. Turn off the engine and place the
machine on the ground or storage fork lift frame. Do not exceed the power limits applied to
the machine.
