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 control in the locked position when driving on the roads with the ma-

▪
Only use the driveline recommended by the Manufacturer, 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 disassembled 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.

Only clean and grease the driveline when the PTO is disengaged, the engi-
ne 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 immediately 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 precaution when servicing or replacing the tines/blades with the machine

Before working on the cutting tools, detach the PTO, turn off the tractor engine, engage the parking brake and make sure
that the tines are at a standstill.
▪
Use the recommended oils.
