1.0 INTRODUCTION

This booklet describes the regulations for use, maintenance for
seeding machine. This booklet is an integrating part of the
product, and must be kept in a safe place for consultation during
the whole life span of the machine.
The equipment described in these instructions for use complies
with current safety provisions and the current state of the art and
technology. However, should the equipment be used in an improper
manner, the risk of injury occurring cannot be totally excluded. For
this reason, the following pages contain warning messages, marked
with the following symbol:

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

This particular machine is ideal for not-tilled ground, stubbly ground
and for the mechanical control of weeds.
The refining and levelling action is carried out by two rows of curved
discs and a rear compacting roller. The cultivators may be used for
ploughing purposes, in order to break up the land leaving residues
and organic substances in the layers nearer the surface, thereby
promoting soil fertility.
Usually, the machine is immediately ready for use. We do, however,
recommend checking that the screws, bolts and hydraulic con-
nections are well-tightened before use and after approx.15 hours
of operation. The highest admissible speed of the machine is 25
km/h. Such speed should, however, be greatly reduced when the
ground is uneven. Excessive speed causes high dynamic stress
which reduces the life span of the machine. If the machinery is being
used on public roads or streets, the cultivator must be equipped
in conformity with the provisions laid down by the Highway Code
in force. In particular, it should be equipped with suitable lighting
and signposting.
ATTENTION
The equipment has been designed exclusively for the cultiva-
tion of stubbly ground or for the preparation of seedbeds on
low-tillage land. Any other use different from that described
in these instructions could cause damage to the machine and
represent a serious hazard for the user.
Regular operation depends on the correct use and adequate main-
tenance of the equipment. It is advisable therefore to observe scru-
pulously what is described in order to prevent any inconveniences

that could prejudicate proper operation and duration. Additionally,
all the information required to ensure the best use of the machine is
provided, together with instructions and useful advice for its correct
maintenance. It is just as important to keep to what is described in
this booklet since the Manufacturer declines all responsibility
due to negligence and non-observance of these rules.
At any rate the Manufacturer is available to assure immediate and
accurate technical assistance and all that may be necessary for
the improved operation and better performance of the equipment.
