GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
In addition to the instructions given above, each time you have to make adjustments before and during work,
we recommend moving the tractor and machine to a firm, flat open area.
Before getting off the tractor to make adjustments, follow this procedure exactly:
1) Lower the machine until its wheels touch the ground (this is recommended every time the tractor is
stopped for any reason).
2) Put the hydraulic directional control lever on the tractor into the locked position.
3) Switch off the engine, leaving the tractor in gear.
4) Apply the parking brake.
5) Remove the ignition key from the instrument panel.
Now prepare the machine for field use as indicated below.
6.6.1
PRELIMINARY CHECK
Ensure that:
1) The power takeoff speed is 540 r.p.m. (for special machines made on request, gearboxes are fitted
and preset for power takeoff with a speed of 1000/2000 r.p.m.).
2) The direction of rotation of the tractor's power takeoff corresponds with that of the gearbox, because
the cutting blades "A" must rotate in the direction indicated by the arrows.
3) The machine is assembled correctly and in good operating condition by following the instructions of
this manual and therefore guaranteeing maximum safety.
