2.3 SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTING RULES

Carefully read the safety and accident-prevention rules before
using the machine. Consult the Manufacturer if in doubt. The
Manufacturer declines all and every liability for failure to comply
with the safety and prevention regulations described below.
▪
Do not touch moving parts.
▪
Adjustments or work on the machine must only be
carried out when the tractor engine is off and the tractor
blocked.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to transport persons or animals
on the machine.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to operate the tractor or have
it operated, with the machine hitched, by persons who
are not in possession of an adequate driving license, by
inexpert persons or by those whose psycho-physical con-
ditions of health are not good.
▪
Comply with all the accident prevention measures recom-
mended and described in this manual.
▪
When a machine is hitched to a tractor, the weights will
be distributed differently on the axles. It is therefore
advisable to add ballast at the front of the tractor in order
to balance the weight on the axles.
▪
When hitched to the tractor, the machine can only be
operated with the driveline complete with shields fixed by
their chains. Keep well away from the spinning driveline.
▪
Before starting the tractor and machine, make sure that
all the safety devices for transportation and use are in
perfect conditions.
▪
Comply with the Highway Code regulations in force in
your country when travelling on public roads.
▪
Do not exceed the maximum tolerated weight on the
tractor axles.
▪
Become familiar with the controls and their functions
before beginning work.
▪
Wear suitable clothing.
▪
Do not wear loose or flapping garments, scarves, nec-
klaces or ties which could become caught up in moving
parts. Wear protective garments such as goggles, gloves
and protective footwear if required in the country where
the machine is used or when working on particular stony
ground.
▪
The machine must be hitched to a tractor with an ade-
quate power rating.
▪
Pay the utmost attention when hitching and unhitching
the machine to and from the tractor.
▪
Any accessories used for transportation purposes must
be equipped with adequate signs and guards.
▪
Never ever leave the driver's seat whilst the tractor is
operating.
▪
When driving round bends with and without the machi-
ne, take care of the centrifugal force exercised when the
center of gravity is in a different position.
▪
Check the rpm rate before engaging the power take-off.
Do not switch the 540 rpm rate with the 1000 rpm one.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to linger within the range of
action of the machine when this is operating.
▪
Before you get off the tractor, lower the machine hitched
to the power lift unit, stop the tractor engine, engage
the parking brake and remove the ignition key from the
control panel.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to get between the tractor and
machine while the engine is running and the driveline
engaged.
▪
Move the power lift control lever to the locked position
before you hitch or unhitch the machine to or from the
three-point linkage.
▪
The class of the machine's coupling pins must correspond
to that of the power lift hitch.
▪
Take great care when you work near the lift links. This is a
very dangerous area.
▪
It is absolutely forbidden to get between the tractor and
the machine hitch in order to manoeuvre the lifting com-
mand from the outside.
▪
Fix the side lifting links with the relative chains and idlers
during the transport phase.
▪
Set the control lever of the tractor's hydraulic lifting con-
trol in the locked position when driving on the roads with
the machine raised.
▪
Only use the driveline recommended by the Manufactu-
rer, with «CE» marking.
▪
Periodically check the driveline shield. It must always be
in an optimum condition and securely fixed.
▪
Pay the utmost attention to the driveline guard, both
during transport and work.
▪
The driveline must always be assembled and disassem-
bled when the tractor engine is off.
▪
Make sure that the driveline is assembled on the tractor
and machine PTO in the correct way.
▪
Prevent the shields from turning by means of the relative
chains and always read the operation and maintenance
manual supplied with the driveline.
▪
Make sure that there are no bystanders or animals in the
vicinity before you engage the PTO.
▪
Do not engage the PTO when the engine is off.
▪
Disengage the PTO when the driveline is at an excessively
wide angle (never more than 10 degrees, Fig. 3) and when
it is not used.
▪
Only clean and grease the driveline when the PTO is
disengaged, the engine off, the parking brake engaged
and the ignition key removed from the tractor's ignition
switch.
▪
Rest the driveline on its stand (4 Fig. 1) when not used.
▪
Prolonged use of the machine can cause the overdrive
housing (5 Fig. 1) and certain parts of the hydraulic circuit
to overheat. Do not touch these parts during and imme-
diately after using the machine since they could cause
burns.
▪
Do not carry out servicing or cleaning operations unless
the PTO has been disengaged and the tractor engine
turned off.
▪
Periodically check to make sure that the nuts and bolts
are well torqued. Tighten them if necessary.
▪
Place adequate supports under the machine as a precau-
tion when servicing or replacing the tines/blades with the
machine raised.
▪
Before working on the cutting tools, detach the PTO,
