The machine should only be used, maintained and repaired by trained employees who are aware of the risks involved. It is essential to respect the
safety regulations mentioned on the machine and accessory stickers and those given in this manual.
Before transporting the machine on public highways, it is essential to ensure that the current Highway Code is observed and that the machine
complies with occupational safety regulations.

10 - Extreme care must be taken when coupling or uncoupling the machine from the tractor.
11 - Before hitching up the machine, ensure that the front axle of the tractor is sufficiently weighted. Ballast weights should be fitted to the special supports
in accordance with the instructions of the tractor manufacturer.

nature of the machine being towed, the front axle stage and the state of the land or path. It is essential, therefore, that the appropriate care is taken for each
situation.
