regulations described below.
General norms
1) Pay close attention to the danger signs in this manual and on
the seeder.
2) The labels with the instructions attached to the machine
give abbreviated advice for avoiding accidents.
3) Scrupulously observe, with the help of the instructions, the
safety and accident prevention regu-lations.
4) Avoid touching the moving parts in any way whatsoever.
5) Any work on and adjustment to the machine must always
be done with the engine switched off and the tractor
blocked.
6) People or animals must not, under any circumstances be
transported on the equipment.
7) It is strictly prohibited to drive the tractor, or allow it to be
driven, with the equipment attached by persons not in
possession of a driverís license, inexpert or in poor conditions
of health.
8) Before starting the tractor and the equipment, check that
all safety devices for transport and use are in perfect working
order.
9) Before starting up the equipment, check the area surrounding
the machine to ensure that there are no people, especially
children or pets, nearby, and ensure that you have excellent
visibility.
10) Use suitable clothing. Avoid loose clothing or garments with
parts that could in any way get caught in the rotating or
moving parts of the machine.
11) Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the control
devices and their functions.
12) Only start working with the equipment if all the protective
devices are in perfect condition, installed and in the safe
position.
13)It is absolutely prohibited to stand within the machine's radius
of action where there are moving parts.
14) It is absolutely forbidden to use the equipment without the
guards and container covers.
15) Before leaving the tractor, lower the equipment hooked to
the lifting unit, stop the engine, pull the hand brake and
remove the key from the dashboard, make sure that the
chemical substances safely out of reach.
16) The driverís seat must never be left when the tractor engine
is running.
17) Before starting the equipment, check that the supporting
feet (Fig. 42 p. 38) have been removed from under the
seeder; check that the seeder has been correctly assembled
and regulat-ed; check that the machine is in perfect working
order, and that all the parts subject to wear and tear are in
good condition.
18) Before releasing the equipment from the third point
attachment, put the hoist command lever into the locked
position and lower the support feet.
Tractor hitch
19) Hook the equipment to a suit-able, sufficiently-powered
tractor by means of the appropriate device (lifter), in
conformity with applicable standards.
20)The class of the equipment attachment pins must be the
same as that of the lifter attach-ment.
21)Take care when working within the range of the lifting arms
as this is a very dangerous area.
22)Be very careful when hooking and unhooking the equipment.
23)It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and
linkage for manoeuvring the lifting con-trols from the outside

the tractor and the equipment (Fig. 5) with the engine
running and the uni-versal joint linked up and without the
hand brake pulled and a block or stone placed under the
wheels to block them.
25) The attaching of additional equip-ment onto the tractor
brings about a different distribution of weight on the axles.
Check the compatibility of the tractor perfor-mance with the
weight that the seeder transfers onto the three-point
linkage. If in doubt consult the tractor Manufacturer.
26) Comply with the maximum ad-missible weight for the axle,
the total mobile weight, transport re-gulations and the
highway code.
Transport on Road
27) When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the highway
code of the country involved.
28) Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable
signs and guards.
29) It is very important to remember that road holding capacity
as well as direction and braking capacity can be influenced,
sometimes considerably, by equipment being either carried
or towed.
30) When taking a curve, calculate that the centrifugal force
and the centre of gravity will shift depending on whether
equipment is being carried or not.
