SECTION 3

Transportation and handling

If the machine, hitched to the tractor, must circulate on the public roads, comply with the Highway Code regulations in force

in the country in which the machine itself is used.

The machine must be raised at least 40 cm from the ground for road transport.

If the machine must be transported over a long distance, it can be loaded on a truck or railway car. In this case, consult "1.6 Tech-

nical speciﬁcations" for the weight and dimensions. This will allow you to make sure that the machine can pass through tunnels

or low constructions without diﬃculty. To lift the machine from the ground to the loading platform, use a crane with an adequate

carrying capacity and hook up the machine from the relative lifting points indicated on the machine (8 Fig. 3).

Loading with a crane. Make sure that the carrying capacity of the crane is ﬁt to lift the weight of the machine. The connecting

points for lifting are clearly visible and are marked by stickers, see Fig. 3. Lift the machine with the utmost care and move it slowly

without jolting on to the truck or railway car.

The lifting and transporting operations can be very dangerous unless they are carried out with the greatest care: have all

persons not directly involved in the lifting operations move well clear of the lifting area. Clear and delimit the zone to which

the machine is to be transferred. Make sure that the available lifting means are ﬁt for the purpose. Do not touch hanging loads

and always keep at a safety distance from them. When transported, the loads must not be lifted more than 20 centimeters

from the ground. Also make sure that the zone in which the operations take place is uncluttered and that there is a suﬃcient

"escape route", i.e. a clear and safe zone to which the operators can quickly move if the load should fall.

The surface on to which the machine is to be loaded must be perfectly horizontal, to prevent the load from shifting.

Once the machine has been moved on to the truck or wagon, make sure that it remains locked in position.

Fix the machine ﬁrmly to the surface on which it rests by means of the pre-engineered points marked with the "hook" decal (8 Fig.

3), using well tightened ropes or chains suited to its weight and able to prevent it from moving in any way.

After having transported the machine to the desired site and before removing the elements that hold it in place, make sure that

its position is unable to be of danger.

Now remove the ropes and unload the machine from the means of transport in the same way as it was loaded.

The machine has been designed to work and be transported during the daytime. If it must work or be transported at night, the

operator must have the lighting system installed (not supplied with the machine).

Consider the machine with the folding frame and with the fertilizer spreader which, if raised, could hide the rear tractor lights.
