INTRODUCTION
This manual contains the description of the functioning and
the instructions necessary in order to execute the main ope-
rations of use, the ordinary and periodic maintenance of the
machine correctly.
This handbook is subdivided in chapters that are easily iden-
tiable and consultable.
The indications contained in this handbook are intended for
a professional user, who must have specic knowledge of the
modalities of use of the machine, must be an authorized per-
son, instructed and opportunely trained.
The use of original accessories and spare parts is recommen-
ded. Besides losing the warranty the use of non original spare
parts could cause danger and reduce the duration and the
performances of the machine.
In case of cession or sale this handbook must be always de-
livered with to the machine. If damaged or lost a new copy
must be requested to the machine Manufacturer or previous
owner. The handbook is considered an integrating part of the
machine.
COPYRIGHTS
The copyright of this handbook belong to the machine’s
Manufacturer. This handbook contains texts, drawings and
illustration that are technical and cannot be disclosed or
transmitted to third parties, in whole or partially, without pri-
or written authorization by the machine’s Manufacturer.
INFORMATION ON THE HANDBOOK
This handbook is to be considered and integrating part of the
machine and must accompany it if it is resold and until it is
demolished.
In case of loss or damaging of this handbook request a new
copy to the manufacturing company (insert Manufacture’s
name, address and telephone number) or to the Retailer (in-
sert Retailer’s name, address and telephone number).
The specic pictograms are inserted on the machine and the
operator must ensure that they are kept in perfect state and
replaced when illegible.
The presence of this symbol indicates that it is necessary
to pay the maximum attention to the topic that is dealt.
The CE Declaration of Conformity is attached to this handbo-
ok (if the machine is CE branded).
It is possible that some devices described in the handbook
are not present on Your machine, due to the chosen prepara-
tion and the market for which the machine is intended.
HANDBOOK UPDATING
The information, descriptions and illustrations in this
handbook reect the state of the machine at the moment of
commercialization of the machine.
The Constructor reserves the right to make change, at any
time, to the machines for commercial or technical reasons.
These alterations do not obligate the Manufacturer to inter-
vene on commercial vehicles sold up to that moment nor to
consider this handbook an inadequate publication.
Any integration that the Manufacturer considers opportune
to make later will have to be preserved together with this
handbook and considered as an integrating part of it.

WARRANTY
• Verify on delivery that the equipment has not been da-
maged during the transport and that the accessories are
integral and complete.
• Any claims must be made in writing within 8 days from

• Any damage caused to people or things are excluded
from the warranty.
• The warranty is limited to the repair or free replacement
of the faulty piece.
• The retailers and the users are not entitled to any indem-
nication from the manufacturer for any damages (costs

WARRANTY DECLINE
• Besides what is reported in the supply contract the war-
ranty declines:
• In case the limits referred to in the technical data table or
in other tables in the handbook are exceeded.
• In case the instructions described in this handbook have
not been followed carefully.
• In case of wrong use, faulty maintenance or mistakes
made by the client.
• In case of non original spare parts.

1.2. INFORMATION ON MACHINE
The machine can operate only by means of tractor supplied
with a lifting group and a universal three-points connection.
Besides operating in all the most common inter-rows, perso-
nalized work congurations are available upon request.
The amounts to distribute are regulated through a gear that
derives its motion from the movement of the wheel by trac-
tion.
This agricultural equipment can operate through a cardan
shaft or hydraulic power take-o (optional) applied to the
power take-o of an agricultural tractor.
The machine has been planned and built in order to operate
in open air, so the performances are not conditioned by at-
mospheric agents.
ATTENTION
Every use of the machine dierent from that indicated
above is to be considered non-authorized and dange-
rous..

1.4. STORAGE
If the machine is stopped for long periods, it is necessary to
store it in a place protected from atmospheric agents and
protect it in order to avoid damaging.
Before storage it is advised to clean all the machine carefully
and lubricate all the mechanical units adequately in order to
protect it from rust.
Verify that the storage temperature is comprised between 0
°C and 50 °C.
Before stopping the machine for long periods, it is opportune
to operate as follows:
• wash the equipment with abundant water, in parti-
cular the chemical substances tanks, then dry it;
• check it carefully and replace any damaged or worn
parts;
• grease all the mechanical units, the blocking hinges;
• grease the transmission chains, grease all the
transmission chains, use a lubricant over all the non
painted parts;
• keep the machine in a sheltered area, if possible, on a
at a strong surface;
• verify the correct blocking of all nuts and bolts;
• protect the equipment with a cloth;
1.5. FIRST USE OR RESTART AFTER A LONG
PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
Before using the machine for the rst time or after along pe-
riod of inactivity, it is necessary to carry out what follows:
• verify that the machine has no damaging;
• verify the mechanical units that must be in good sta-
te and not rusted;
• verify the correct functioning of the light bars (if pre-
sent);
• grease carefully all the mobile parts;
• verify that not there are leakages of oil coming from
connections or pipings;
• verify that all the protections are placed correctly;
1.6. SCRAPPING
In case of scrapping, the machine will have to be disposed
in specic rubbish dumps, in keeping with the enforced le-
gislation.
Before proceeding to the scrapping, it is necessary to separate
the plastic or rubber parts.
Recuperate any exhausted oils and dispose them in the
appropriate collection centres.
The used oil must be opportu-
nely recuperated and not disper-
sed in the environment as accor-
ding to the enforced norms it is
classied like dangerous waste
and as such it must be sent to the
specic collection centres.
For the collection of exhausted oils, it is obligatory to refer to
the “Obligatory Consortium of Used Oils”.
The parts made up only from plastic material, aluminum, ste-
el, can only be recycled, if collected in the specic centres.
