1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Generalities
The "MECHANICAL MILLING MACHINE" is a machine designed and built solely for the purpose of
working agricultural land.
The manufacturer of the machine is ALPEGO S.p.a., who has assessed the risks relating to the machine
and carried out the CE marking and drafted the user manual for the machine.
These operating instructions contain information on safety, installation, operation, maintenance and rec-
tification of faults and malfunctions so that the machine can be used as intended by the manufacturer.
The instructions are an essential safety requirement and as such are an integral part of the machine
and must accompany it throughout its life cycle; it is therefore essential to keep them and make them
available to all persons concerned.
In this document the term "manufacturer" clearly refers to the company ALPEGO S.p.a.
🔎 ALPEGO S.p.a., reserves the right, at any time, to make any modification to the machine in order
to improve it.
🔎 The intended use and configuration of the machine are the only ones permitted by the
manufacturer. Do not attempt to use the machine contrary to the instructions given.
The instructions in this manual do not replace but summarise the obligations to comply with
current legislation on safety and accident prevention.
Some of the accessories described in the manual may not be present on your machine, depending on the
equipment chosen and the market for which the machine is intended.

tions are intended for installation, operating and monitoring personnel. They contain technical standards
and drawings, which may not be reproduced in whole or in part, disseminated or used without permission
for competitive purposes or communicated to third parties.
1.1.2 Use and storage of the manual
The purpose of this manual is to provide all the necessary information so that, in addition to the correct
use of the machine, it can be operated as independently and safely as possible.
Before carrying out any work on the packaging and the machine, and before putting it into operation,
operators and qualified technicians must carefully read the instructions contained in this manual and in
the annexes and carefully follow the instructions.
In the event of any doubts as to the correct interpretation of the information given in the documentation,
please contact ALPEGO S.p.a. for the necessary clarification.

1.1.4 Terminology and definitions
To make it easier to understand some of the topics covered in this manual, some of the terminology used
is given below:
• PPE: personal protective equipment.
• Machine: MECHANICAL COUPLER model KDyno - KEvo - KForce.
• Manufacturer: ALPEGO S.p.A.
1.1.5 Numbering of figures and tables
Figure numbering consists of the abbreviation of the term 'figure' followed by a progressive number (e.g.
Fig. 1). As regards the numbering of the tables, it is composed of the abbreviation of the term "table"
followed by a progressive number (e.g. Tab. 1). In both cases, the numbering is accompanied by an
explanatory caption.

This manual is intended for both the operator and the technicians responsible for installing and maintain-
ing the machine.
🚫 It is FORBIDDEN for operators of the machine to carry out operations reserved for maintenance per-
sonnel. ALPEGO S.p.a. is not liable for damages resulting from the non-observance of this prohibition.
Depending on the degree of difficulty of certain machine installation, operation and maintenance opera-
tions, professional profiles are identified:
1.2.1 USER
Personnel responsible for operating the machine.
The USER must be fully familiar with all the command and control devices on the machine and must be
able to carry out the following operations:
