PROPER USE OF THE MACHINE
The machine must only be used for tasks for which it has been designed.
The manufacturer will not be liable or any damage caused by using the machine for applications other than those specified by the manufacturer.
Using the machine for purposes other than those originally intended will be done so entirely at the user’s risk.
Proper use of the machine also implies:
-complying with instructions on use, care and maintenance provided by the manufacturer;
-using only original or manufacturer recommended spare parts, equipment and accessories.
The machine must only be operated, maintained and repaired by competent persons, familiar with the specifications and methods of operation of
the machine. These persons must also be informed of the dangers to which they may be exposed.
The user must strictly abide by current legislation regarding :
-accident prevention
-safety at work (health and safety regulations)
-transport on public roads (road traffic regulations)
Strict compliance with warnings affixed to the machine is obligatory.
The owner of the equipment shall become liable for any damage resulting from alterations made to the machine by the user or any other person,
without the prior written consent of the manufacturer.
HITCHING
1- When hitching or unhitching the machine from the tractor, place the control lever of the hydraulic lift in such a position that the lifting mechanism
cannot be activated accidentally.
2- When hitching the machine to the three-point lifting mechanism of the tractor, ensure that the diameters of the pins or gudgeons correspond to
the diameter of the tractor ball joints.
3- Caution! In the three points lifting zone, there may be a danger of crushing and shearing.
4- Do not stand between the tractor and the machine whilst operating the external lift control lever.
5- When in transport, lifting mechanism stabilizer bars must be fitted to the machine to avoid floating and side movement.
6- When transporting the machine in the raised position, lock the lift control lever.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
1- Caution! The hydraulic circuit is pressurized.
2- When fitting hydraulic motors or cylinders, ensure that the circuits are connected correctly in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
3- Before fitting a hose to the tractor’s hydraulic circuit, ensure that the tractor side and the 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
- stat of the fittings and seals
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. In 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 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. After the first few hours of use (4 hours), all screws must be tightened.
Then repeat the operation every 80 hours.
3- Before carrying out maintenance work on a raised machine, prop it up using appropriate means of support.
4- When replacing a working part (fertilizer spreader blade or planter coulter), wear protective gloves and only use appropriate tools.
5- To protect the environment, it is forbidden to throw away oil, grease or filters of any kind. Give them to specialist recycling firms.
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 the standards and specifications laid down by the manufacturer. Only use MONOSEM spare parts.
9- Before commencing any electric welding work on the tractor or the towed machine, disconnect the alternator and battery cables.
10- Repairs affecting parts under stress or pressure (springs, pressure accumulators, etc…) should be carried out by suitably qualified engineers
with special tools.
