MAIN CHARACTERISTIC OF ALPEGO ROLLER:
DISC ROLLER (DR6)
This roller causes soil compaction in stripes: it promotes better water absorption and makes it possible for the soil to breath.
It is ideal for rocky and damp soils with large organic masses.
RING ROLLER (VR6)
For dry and heavy soils. A better crumbling and re-compacting of the soil thanks to its wedge-shaped rings. The blades between
the rings break up the earth clumps and clean up the spaces between the rings. The compaction in stripes presents the
advantage of promoting a better water absorption.
STAB ROLLER (G6)
On the other hand, the stab roller leaves the soil soft: this application is ideal for dry and not sticky soils.
RULLO FLEX (FX6)
The Flex roller is suited for wet and heavy soils which tend to be sticky. The roller weight is ideally suited for three-point-hitch
mounted machines.

3. SAFETY RULES
3.1. TO USE IN SAFETY
•Before the start-up, use and maintenance operation of the equipment, read carefully the use and maintenance manuals.
•The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for damages to persons, animals or things due to the non-observance of the
safety rules.
•It is absolutely forbidden to use the machine for purposes different from the ones expressly indicated in this booklet.
•Avoid absolutely to touch in whichever way the parts in motion.
•The machine and its eventual accessories for the transport on road must be complete with the necessary signs and adequate
protections.
•The machine and its eventual accessorie for the transport on road must be complete with the necessary signs and adequate.
•Check carefully the adhesive labels on the machine and respect their indications. The relative decalcomanias of emergency
must be in evidence: they must be always cleaned and replaced if they become unreadable (eventually can be demanded to
the concessionaire).
•During the manouvres do not allow the approaching of any person or animal within the operation range of the machine.
•During the work do not allow the approaching of any person or animal within the range of the sods and the stones projected
by the machine.
•It is absolutely forbidden to enter the area between the tractor and the machine in order to
operate the external controls of the hydraulic lifting device.
•Sit always on the driver's seat and get off the tractor only after the power take off has been disconnected and the parking
brake has been activated.
•During the working pauses, disconnect the power take off, switch off the engine, lay the machine on the ground and activate
the tractor parking brake.
•Do not work without guards.
•Do not use the machine as a transportation mean for persons, animals or things.
•Do not work onto grounds or places which may compromise the stability of the machine.
•Know the area in which it is being worked. Never operate in an area in which there are obstacles like stones sticks or roots
they would ruin integrity of the machine.
•For the transport on road to always use the danger blinking.
•With respect to the on-road circulation, observe the regulations in force in each country. It is very important to remember that
roadability, braking capacity and direction are influenced by the weight of the machine applied to the lifting device of the
tractor; moreover, in bends consider the effect of the centrifugal force that move the machine center of gravity.
•Avoid to turn empty (outside of the land) with the machine. During the job avoid to
carry out curves with the buried machine, much less to work when you go behind.
Lift always for the changes of direction and the reversals of march.
•During the transport, or every time the raising of the machine becomes necessary, is
opportune that the lifter of the tractors comes regulated so that the same machine is
not raised from earth in order more than 35 cm approximately. Avoid to go on public roads with the dirty machine of earth,
grass or other that produce soil and prevent to the street traffic. Not decrease with violence the machine on the land but to
make it slowly in order to concur graduates them insertion of the blades in the land.

•In contrary case the components of the same machine would provoke strong sollicitations on all who could compromise of
their integrity.
•Not use the machine inside of structures sluices than there is noto ne adapted ventilaton.
3.2. MANTENANCE IN SAFETY
•Do not allow unauthorized persons to perform maintenance operations or any other kind of intervention on the machine.
•Maintenance and repairing operations must be carrie on in workshop fit for those purposes.
•In case of maintenance of the machine disconnect hydraulic the tube from plug of the tractor.
•Always use original accessories and spare parts in order to comply with the requirements of the manufacturer, otherwise, any
guarantee may be declined and some malfuctionings maya rise impairing the safety of the machine.
•Respect the conformity of oils advises to you.
•In performing any operation on the machine, disconnect the power takeoff of the tractor, activate the parking brake, remove
the start-up key and do not allow any person to get onto the tractor.
•Before cleaning or greasing the cardan shaft disconnect the power takeoff, switch off the engine, activate the parking brake
and remove the start-up key.
3.3. TRANSPORT ON PUBLIC ROADS
If necessary, the machine can be transported on the roads while hitched to the tractor. The operator must check, compare and
adapt the implement so that it fully complies with the Highway Code in force in the country of use.
Bear in mind the following recommendations:
1. Comply with the instructions in this manual when you hitch the machine to the tractor;
2. The machine must remain blocked and raised from the ground during transport.
3. You must take all possible precautions and comply with the pertinent laws in order to safeguard yourselves and others.
4. Projecting parts and those beyond the width of the tractor must be fitted with the relative protections.
5. Projecting parts and those beyond the width of the tractor must be fitted with the relative protections.
6. Warning boards to indicate the projecting parts of the implement must be affixed where necessary.
7. The braking distance and steering capacity of the tractor are influenced by the weight of the machine hitched to its power
lift. When driving round bends, take great care and allow for the action of the centrifugal force that shifts the machine’s
center of gravity.
