Transport on Road
29) When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the highway
code of the country involved.
30) Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs
and guards.
31) It is very important to remember that road holding capacity
as well as direction and braking capacity can be infl uenced,
sometimes con-siderably, by equipment being either carried
or towed.
32) 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.
33) For transport, adjust and fasten the lateral lifting arm chains of
the tractor; check that the fertilizer hopper covers are closed
properly; lock the hydraulic lifting control lever.
All the hoeing units must be blocked: insert the proper pin (1,
Fig. 12) in the center hole of the inclined rod (2, Fig. 12) and
use the splitpin to fi x it in place (3, Fig. 12).
34) Road movements must be performed with all tanks empty
35) For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment must
be placed in the transportation position.
36) Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports and tables
for signaling of dimensions.
37) When the dimensions of carried or partially-carried equipment
conceal the tractor's signalling and lighting devices, these
must also be installed on the equipment itself, in conformity
with regulations of the highway code of the country involved.
When in operation make sure that the lighting system is in
perfect working order.
Cardan shaft
38) The equipment installed can only be controlled by means of
the Cardan shaft complete with the necessary overload safety
devices and guards fastened with the appropriate chain.
39) Only the Cardan shaft supplied by the Manufacturer must be
used.
40) The engine must not be running when installing and removing
the Cardan shaft.
41) Care must be taken regarding the safety and correct assembly
of the Cardan shaft.
42) Use the chain provided to stop the Cardan shaft from rota-
ting.
43) Always check carefully that the Cardan shaft guard is always
in position, both during trans-portation and operation.
44) Frequently and set intervals check the Cardan shaft guard, it
must always be in excellent condition.
45) Before engaging the power take-off, check that the set rpm cor-
responds to that indicated by the sticker on the equipment.
46) Before inserting the power take-off, make sure that there
are no people or animals nearby and that the rpm selected
corresponds to that permitted. Never exceed the maximum
admissible speed.
47) Watch out for the rotating universal joint.
48) Do not insert the power take-off with the engine off or
synchronized with the wheels.
49) Always disconnect the power take-off when the Cardan shaft is
at too wide an angle (never more than 10° - Fig. 6) and when
it is not being used.
50) Only clean and grease the Cardan shaft when the power take-
off is disconnected, the engine is off, the hand brake pulled
and the key removed.
51) When not in use, place the Cardan shaft on the support pro-
vided for it.
52) After having dismantled the Cardan shaft, place the protective
cover on the power take-off shaft again.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance in safety
During work and maintenance operations, use suitable per-
sonal protection gear:
Overalls
53) Do not proceed with maintenance and cleaning if the power
take-off has not been disconnected fi rst, the engine power off,
the hand brake pulled and the tractor blocked with a wooden
block or stone of the right size under the wheels.
54) Periodically check that the bolts and nuts are tight, and if
necessary tighten them again. For this it would be advisable
to use a torque wrench, respecting the values of 53 Nm for
M10 bolts, resistance class 8.8, and 150 Nm for M14 bolts
resistance class 8.8.
55) During assembling, main-tenance, cleaning, fi tting, etc., with
the hoeing machine raised, place adequate supports under
the equipment as a precaution.
56) The spare parts must correspond to the manufacturer's spe-
cifi cations. Use only original spares.
