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 centri-
fugal 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.
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 means 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 operation.
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 synchro-
nized with the wheels.
cod. F07011388
USE AND MAINTENANCE
12) Always disconnect the power take-off when the Cardan shaft is
at too wide an angle (never more than 10° - Fig. 4) 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 pro-
vided for it.
15) After having dismantled the Cardan shaft, place the protective
cover on the power take-off shaft again.
Safety measures concerning the hydraulics
1) At the moment of connecting the hydraulic tubes to the
hydraulic system of the tractor, make sure that the hydraulic
systems of the operating machine and the tractor are not under
pressure.
2) For the operative hydraulic connections between tractor and
operating machine, the sockets and plugs should be marked
with colours to distinguish them, to avoid them being used
wrongly. There would be a danger of accident if the connections
were to be swapped round.
3) The hydraulic system is under high pressure; because of
the accident risk, when searching for leakage points special
auxiliary instruments should be used.
4) Not to never carry out the search losses with the fi ngers or the
hands. The liquids that exit from the holes can be nearly not
visible.
5) During transport by road the hydraulic connections between
tractor and operating machine should be disconnected and
secured to the support provided.
6) Do not use vegetable oils under any circumstance. These
could cause a risk of damage to the cylinder gaskets.
7) The operating pressures of the hydraulic system should be
between 100 bars and 180 bars.
8) Never exceed the indicated hydraulic system pressure levels.
9) Check that the quick hook-ups are coupled correctly; parts of
the system could get damaged if they are not.
10) Oil escaping at high pressure can cause skin injury with the
risk of serious wounds and infection. Call a doctor immediately
if such an incident occurs. If the oil with surgical means is not
removed quickly, can take place serious allergies and/or infec-
tions. Therefore, the installation of hydraulic components in the
tractor driver's cab is strictly forbidden. All the components of
the system should be positioned carefully to avoid parts being
damage during use of the equipment.
11) In case of participation on the hydraulic system, to unload the
hydraulic pressure carrying all the hydraulic commandos in all
the positions some times after to have extinguished the motor.
