Safety advice concerning use

To prevent the risk of injury, read the safety instruc-
tions given in section "3" carefully.
This ensures the machine can only be used by fit and
healthy personnel, who are suitably trained and au-
thorised, and hold the appropriate category driving
licence for a tractor.
The tractor driver is responsible for assessing the
hazards associated with envisaged environmental
conditions, e.g., specific ground conditions (loose
soil, slippery, sloping ground, etc..) which require
special precautions, and it is up to the driver to take
the necessary measures to eliminate or reduce these
hazards.

Hitching and unhitching the work vehicle to and from the tractor

Danger - Warning
Hitching the work vehicle up to the tractor is one of the riskiest moments as it could required the involvement
of several people at once, carrying out synchronised manoeuvres between the tractor driver and the opera-
tors on the ground, which - if badly organised - could result in accidents.
The work vehicle must only ever be coupled to a tractor with an appropriate power rating which is equipped
with a lift that complies with the regulations in force, observing the maximum weight limit on the rear axle
and the gross vehicle weight (see tractor user manual).
Assess whether ballast is required at the front of the tractor to prevent it rearing up and losing stability during
driving.
Check that the work vehicle coupling to the tractor at the third point of the hitch is securely locked so that it
cannot work loose.

Make sure nobody and no animals are in the machine
work and manoeuvring area.
Before transiting on public roads, check that the trac-
tor/work vehicle assembly complies with highway
code regulations.
With combined machines (mulching machine cou-
pled to planting machine), make particularly sure
that the load on the tractor's front axle is sufficient to
ensure good, constant driving stability, both during
travel on the road and during work.
For use of a planting machine, please see the specific
"Operation and Maintenance" manual supplied with
the planting machine.
