2.1 SAFETY SIGNS (Fig. 6)
(Make reference also to the instruction manual of
the machine where this attachment will be assem-
bled).
The attachment has adhesive labels with brief
instructions on them in order to avoid incor-
rect operations and possible accidents:
1) Before starting the machine, carefully read the
instruction manual (this symbol is placed on the
front cover of the instruction manual)
2) Before carrying out any maintenance, stop the
engine and read the handbook.
3) Hazard due to the possible flinging of blunt
instruments. Make sure that there are no
people, pets, houses or something else around
the working area which could be hit by the blunt
instruments.
4) Shearing hazard of limbs. While the machine
is working, especially when the REVERSE
GEAR is engaged, keep at a safe distance from
the moving parts. In particular keep away from
the rotary hoe back for all its working length.

2.2 CLOTHES

- Do not wear loose-fitting and fluttering clothes
as well as necklaces, scarves and ties: they
could get entangled in the moving parts.
- Long hair shall be tied with a ribbon
- We recommend to wear suitable shoes; do not
work with bare feet or with sandals or slippers.

2.3 ECOLOGY AND POLLUTION

- Keep the lubricants out of the children's reach.
Read the warnings and the precautions marked
on the containers of the lubricants carefully. Af-
ter using them, wash your hands with plenty of
water. Dispose of the used lubricants in compli-
ance with the anti-pollution regulations in force.
- Comply with the laws in force in the country
where the machine is used concerning the use
and disposal of the products used to clean and
maintain the attachment.
- If the attachment is dismantled, comply with the
anti-pollution regulations in force in the country
where the attachment is used.

2.4 SAFE OPERATION

- Before engaging the REVERSE GEAR, always
make sure that the ROTARY HOE lever is in
neutral position «N», even if the motor hoe is
equipped with a special device which prevents
the reverse gear from being engaged as long
as the rotary hoe is working.
- It is strictly forbidden to start the attachment or
to have it started by anyone who has not read
and understood what is described in this manual,
as well as by unskilled people, by people who
are not in good health or who are less than 14
years old.
- Before starting to work, make sure that the rotary
hoe is secured properly, by checking all the
connections (screws, nuts, Victaulic couplings).
- When the attachment is working, you shall
prevent anybody from approaching the
attachment. It is strictly forbidden to stand in the
operating range of the attachment. The operator
shall be responsible for any damages to third
parties.
- Remove the visible foreign bodies, if any, from
the area to be tilled. During work, be careful not
to hit any foreign body hidden in the ground.
- If the rotary hoe hits something accidentally, stop
the engine and check if it is damaged; if it does
not work properly, the rotary hoe shall be
inspected by a skilled technician.
- Remember that there is a serious hazard of
injures to hands and feet, while using the rotary
hoe.
- While hoeing on a sloping ground, be very
careful. Be very careful with your feet. Hoe with
a sideway movement across the sloping area,
never hoe uphill nor downhill, never hoe when
the ground is too steep because the machine
could turn over.
- Do not position the machine on a sloping ground.
- Never use the rotary hoe if the guards and the
protections are defective or if the safety devices
are disconnected or not in perfect working order.
