Tractor hitch
1) Hook the equipment to a suitable, suffi ciently-powered
tractor by means of the appropriate device (lifter), in
conformity with applicable standards.
2) The class of the equipment attachment pins must be the
same as that of the lifter attachment.
3) Take care when working within the range of the lifting
arms as this is a very dangerous area.
4) Be very careful when hooking and unhooking the
equipment.
5) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor
and linkage for manoeuvring the lifting controls from the
outside (fi g.4).
6) It is absolutely forbidden to stand in the space between
the tractor and the equipment (fi g.4) with the engine
running.
It is possible to work between the tractor and the
equipment only after the parking brake has been applied
and a suitably sized blocking wedge or stone has been
placed under the wheels.
7) The attaching of additional equipment onto the tractor
brings about a different distribution of weight on the
axles. Check the compatibility of the tractor performance
with the weight that the machine transfers onto the three-
point linkage. If in doubt consult the tractor Manufacturer.
8) Comply with the maximum admissible weight for the
axle, the total mobile weight, transport regulations and
the highway code.
Transport on Road
1) When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the
highway code of the country involved.
2) Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable
signs and guards.
3) It is very important to remember that road holding
capacity as well as direction and braking capacity can
be infl uenced, sometimes con-siderably, by equipment
being either carried or towed.
4) When negotiating curves, be aware of the variation in
centrifugal force exerted in a position other than that of
the center of gravity, with and without the equipment
in tow. Also pay greater attention on sloping roads or
ground.
5) For transport, adjust and fasten the lateral lifting arm
chains of the tractor; lock the hydraulic lifting control
lever;
6) For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment
must be placed in the transportation position.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
7) Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports and
tables for signaling of dimensions.
8) When the dimensions of carried or partially-carried
equipment conceal the tractor's signalling and lighting
devices, these must also be installed on the equipment
itself, in conformity with regulations of the highway code
of the country involved. When in operation make sure
that the lighting system is in perfect working order.
Cardan shaft
1) The equipment installed can only be controlled by me-
ans of the Cardan shaft complete with the necessary
overload safety devices and guards fastened with the
appropriate chain.
2) Only the Cardan shaft supplied by the Manufacturer
must be used.
3) The engine must not be running when installing and
removing the Cardan shaft.
4) Care must be taken regarding the safety and correct
assembly of the Cardan shaft.
5) Use the chain provided to stop the Cardan shaft from
rotating.
6) Always check carefully that the Cardan shaft guard is
always in position, both during trans-portation and ope-
ration.
7) Frequently and set intervals check the Cardan shaft
guard, it must always be in excellent condition.
8) Before engaging the power take-off, check that the set
rpm corresponds to that indicated by the sticker on the
equipment.
9) Before inserting the power take-off, make sure that
there are no people or animals nearby and that the rpm
selected corresponds to that permitted. Never exceed
the maximum admissible speed.
10) Watch out for the rotating universal joint.
11) Do not insert the power take-off with the engine off or
synchronized with the wheels.
12) Always disconnect the power take-off when the Cardan
shaft is at too wide an angle (never more than 10° - fi g.5)
and when it is not being used.
13) Only clean and grease the Cardan shaft when the power
take-off is disconnected, the engine is off, the hand brake
pulled and the key removed.
14) When not in use, place the Cardan shaft on the support
provided for it.
15) After having dismantled the Cardan shaft, place the
protective cover on the power take-off shaft again.
