- Do not carry out servicing or cleaning operations unless the
PTO has been disengaged and the tractor engine turned off.
- Periodically check to make sure that the nuts and bolts are well
torqued. Tighten them if necessary.
- Place adequate supports under the machine as a precaution
when servicing or replacing the tines/blades with the machine
raised.
- Before working on the cutting tools, detach the PTO, turn off the
tractor engine, engage the parking brake and make sure that
the tines are at a standstill.
- Use the recommended oils.
- Spare parts must comply with the requirements established by
the Manufacturer. Only use genuine spare parts.
- The safety decals must always be clearly visible. They must be
kept clean and replaced if they become illegible (new ones can
be obtained from the Manufacturer).
- The instruction manual must be kept throughout the life of the
machine.
- If the country in which the machine is used has noise preven-
tion laws, adapt to these provisions by using the appropriate
protections. The measured noise levels are given in section "1.5
Noise level".
- Comply with the laws in force in the country where the machine
is used when it comes to using and disposing of the products
used to clean and service the machine. Also comply with the
instructions given by the manufacturer of such products.
- Comply with the anti-pollution laws in force in the country of use
if the machine must be scrapped.
- The safety guards at the sides are mobile. They are mounted
flush to the sides of the implement for transport reasons. It is
obligatory to pull them out and fix them in place with the relative
screws before starting work.
SECTION 3
Transportation and handling
3.1 TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
CAUTION
If the machine, hitched to the tractor, must circulate on the
public roads, comply with the Highway Code regulations in
force in the country in which the machine itself is used.
The machine must be raised at least 16" in. from the ground
for road transport (Fig. 7). If the machine must be transported
over a long distance, it can be loaded on a truck or railway car.
In this case, consult "1.6 Technical specifications" for the weight
and dimensions.
This will allow you to make sure that the machine can pass through
tunnels or low constructions without difficulty.
To lift the machine from the ground to the loading platform, use a
crane with an adequate carrying capacity and hook up the ma-
chine from the relative lifting points indicated on the machine (3
Fig. 1).
Loading with a crane. Make sure that the carrying capacity of
the crane is fit to lift the weight of the machine.
The connecting points for lifting are clearly visible and are marked
by stickers, see Fig. 5.
Lift the machine with the utmost care and move it slowly without
jolting on to the truck or railway car.
CAUTION
mekfarmer 220
The lifting and transporting operations can be very danger-
ous unless they are carried out with the greatest care: have
all persons not directly involved in the lifting operations move
well clear of the lifting area.
Clear and delimit the zone to which the machine is to be trans-
ferred. Make sure that the available lifting means are fit for
the purpose.
Do not touch hanging loads and always keep at a safety dis-
tance from them. When transported, the loads must not be
lifted more than 8 inches from the ground.
Also make sure that the zone in which the operations take
place is uncluttered and that there is a sufficient "escape
route", i.e. a clear and safe zone to which the operators can
quickly move if the load should fall.
The surface on to which the machine is to be loaded must be
perfectly horizontal, to prevent the load from shifting.
Once the machine has been moved on to the truck or wagon,
make sure that it remains locked in position.
Fasten the machine securely to the surface in which it is placed
with cables or chains well fastened to the anchor point and suit-
able for the weight involved so that movement is impaired.
After having transported the machine to the desired site and be-
fore removing the elements that hold it in place, make sure that its
position is unable to be of danger.
Now remove the ropes and unload the machine from the means
of transport in the same way as it was loaded.
SECTION 4
Operation
4.1 BEFORE USE
Before he sets the machine at work, the operator must have
read and understood all parts of this manual and particularly
"Section 2" about safety.
Before beginning work, make sure that the machine is in order,
that the lubricating oils are at the right level and that all parts sub-
ject to wear and deterioration are fully efficient.
Also make sure that the guards are correctly positioned.
Adjustments and operations required to prepare the machine
for work must always be carried out with the machine off and
blocked.
