machine, its functioning, safety measures, methods of
intervention - and who are in a position to recognize the potential
dangers when using the machine and are able to avoid them.
• AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER: The authorized Service Center

USE AND MAINTENANCE
General norms
1) Comply with the instructions given by the danger symbols in
this handbook and affixed to the mower.
2) Never ever touch any moving part.
3) Operations and adjustments to the implement must always
be carried out when the engine is off and the tractor braked.
4) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
animals on the implement.
5) It is absolutely forbidden for persons without a driving license,
inexpert persons or those in precarious health conditions to
drive the tractor with the implement mounted.
6) Strictly comply with all the recommended accident preventing
measures described in this handbook.
7) Assembly of a supplementary implement on the tractor will
shift the weights on the axles. It is therefore advisable to add
weights to the front part of the tractor in order to balance the
weights on the axles themselves.
8) The coupled implement may only be controlled through the
cardan shaft complete with the necessary safety devices for
overloads and with the guards fixed with the relative latch.
9) Before starting the tractor and implement, always check that
all safety devices guarding transport and use are in a perfect
condition.
10) With help from the instructions, strictly comply with the relati-
ve safety and accident preventing prescriptions.
11) The instruction labels affixed to the machine give useful advice
on how to prevent accidents.
12) Always comply with the highway code in force in your country
when travelling on public roads.
13) Always become familiar with the controls and their operation
before starting work.
14) Always wear suitable clothing. Never ever wear loose
garments or those with edges that could in some way become
caught up in rotating parts or moving mechanisms.
15) Before operating the implement, check all around the
machine to see that there are no persons (particularly
children) or domestic animals nearby and that visibility is
optimum.
16) Keep away from the cardan shaft while it is turning.
17) As indicated, couple the implement to a tractor of adequate
power and configuration, using a device (lift) conforming to
the prescriptions.

release phases.
19) Comply with the maximum permissible weight on the axle,
the total adjustable weight, transport regulations and the
highway code.
20) Any accessories for transport must be equipped with
adequate signals and guards.

22) It is very important to remember that the road holding, steering
and braking capacity may be even notably influenced by the
presence of a towed or mounted implement.
23) Always take care of the centrifugal force exercised byx the
furthered position of the center of gravity, when turning corners
with the implement mounted.
24) Only begin work with the implement after having checked
that all guards are in a good condition, installed and in their
safety positions.
25) Before engaging the pto, check that the rpm rate is that
