12.2 - LUBRICATION

When the machine is sitting on a flat surface, the oil level inside the multiplier

should always be visible through the sight plug situated on the guard cover.

The multiplier oil has to be replaced after 1000 working hours. A plug situated under the multiplier

box allows for the discharge of the oil.

It is absolutely necessary that the oil is always kept at the required level. Any possible filling up has

to be carried out through the filling cap, either by inclining or by laying down the machine: always use

oil SAE 90.

At the beginning of the treatment season and before every intervention, check the

oil level in the multiplier guard.

3.3 - SAFETY NOTICES

All the preparation, use, maintenance, moving and transporting operations must be carried out only

after having acquired a perfect knowledge of the regulations contained in this publication and the ability

to appropriately interpret the symbols of the decals applied to the machine.

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO UTILISE THE DUSTER FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN FOR ITS

INTENDED USE, AS IT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED EXCLUSIVELY FOR DISTRIBUTING ANTI-

MILDEW POWDERS ON AGRICULTURAL CULTIVATIONS

It is necessary to scrupulously abide by the following general norms:

— always stop the tractor’s engine before carrying out any operation on the duster;

— check that the weight and power of the tractor are compatible with the duster to be used;

— before utilisation, check the correct tightening and securing of the machine’s various components,

paying particular attention to the safety protections and to the moving parts;

— only utilise protected cardan shafts provided with CE conformity certification.

Carry out the assembly only if the drive outlets of both tractor and duster are equipped with the

protection counter-guard;

— check that the cardan shaft is blocked by the appropriate anti-rotation chains;

— keep people and animals away from the machine before starting it up;

S420-S430-S520-S530 1-2003

10.2 - PREPARATORY OPERATIONS TO TREATMENT

IT IS ALWAYS NECESSARY TO WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTION CLOTHING AND ACCES-

SORIES. The powdering masks do not offer any protection against toxic vapors.

Avoid using clothes that can get caught in the moving elements.

Before opening the lid, ALWAYS check that the tractor is STILL and that the

key was REMOVED from the control board.

1. Carry out all checking and maintenance operation necessary for setting up the machine.

2. Perform loading in a well-ventilated place. If this is done outdoors, the presence of wind increases

the danger of contamination.

3. Avoid proximity of free flames, coals or burning objects with flammable products.

4. Put the emptied product packages in the appropriate container or in the storage rooms.

5. Clean the equipment and the tools used for preparation and keep them in the storage area for

chemical products.

6. Always leave the product loading and preparation area in conditions which will not cause any

contamination to persons or animals, or environmental pollution.

7. If necessary, mark the field or the machine passage area, to provide a guide for treatment and

to avoid missing spots or overlapping layers.

- AT THE END OF THE OPERATIONS NECESSARY FOR TREATMENT, THE STORAGE-

CONSERVATION AREAS MUST BE LEFT IN THE CONDITION REQUESTED IN ORDER TO

PERFORM THEIR PREVENTIVE AND PROTECTIVE FUNCTION.

- BEFORE RE-STARTING THE TRACTOR, CLEAR PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AWAY AND

NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE UNGUARDED DURING THE PREPARATION OPERATIONS.

10.3 - THE TREATMENT

Before any transferring, make sure that the powder delivery lock is CLOSED

(position “0”). If the delivery lock is open and the fan is still, the powder contained

inside the tank could, as a result of the vibrations, move down and compact itself

inside the fan, so causing at the machine start an excessive solicitation of the

moving parts, which could consequently break. As a general precaution measure,

it is recommended to avoid covering great transferring distances with the loaded

tank, in order to avoid the product getting compacted inside the tank.

IT IS ADVISABLE TO BEGIN TREATMENT AT THE HEADLANDS.

The operator must:

1. Start the tractor, always observing the safety norms.

2. Activate the power take off (PTO) and take it to a rotation speed of at least 500 RPM. CARRY

OUTTHE TREATMENT

SOFTLY ENGAGE THE PTO.

The fan must reach the status of inertia and acquire a certain rotation speed before

pushing the accelerator. Transmitting most of the motor power to overcome the

starting take-off may cause the breakage of the multiplier gears. Pay special

attention with double-clutch tractors.

6

S420-S430-S520-S530 1-2003

— don’t wear articles of clothing that might get caught in moving parts;

— keep to a low speed while negotiating bumps or crossing ditches.

- All of the maintenance and repair operations should be carried out only after

having carefully cleaned all the parts of the machine.

- It is forbidden to make weldings if ammonium salts have been used or on parts

not perfectly cleaned from any sulphur residuals.

- It is forbidden to use the machine if any free flames are present or in proximity

of any incandescent material, fire residuals or glowing fires.

3.4 - SAFETY SYSTEMS

All machine moving parts are suitably protected by guards and highlighted through the use of warning

decals.

- It is forbidden to use the machine with these guards removed.

- Before removing the protection, stop the tractor’s engine and remove the key

EXECUTION:

1. Using the on-ofl lever, find the delivery position suitable for the intervention.

2. Unscrew the locking lever and move it up to reach the delivery position indicator, then strongly

lock it by completely screwing it back.

This operation ensures the equal opening of the delivery holes during the entire

treatment.

10 OPERATING PROCEDURES 10

10.1 - PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS TO TREATMENT

THEOPERATORMUST:

1. Ascertain that the condition of the crops, the progress of the disease or the need for its prevention

actually justify the treatment to be applied.

2. Be aware of the meteorological conditions forecast for all the time necessary for carrying out the

treatment.

3. If possible, avoid carrying out the spraying in strong wind conditions or when one detects that

the sprayed product disperses away from the target crop (drifting). It is advisable to suspend the

treatment when the wind speed exceeds 3 m/s (10 km/hour).

4. Carefully calculate the exact quantity of the product necessary for the treatment.

5. Check that the product is available in a quantity sufficient to complete the intervention.

6. Read the product’s utilisation instructions carefully, in order to ascertain the usage conditions, the

correct dosage and the expiration dates.

3.5 - HANDLING OF AGRO-CHEMICALS

The operator may be contaminated either by contact with or inhalation of the products and mixtures

to be distributed.

The environment may be polluted by the spillage of the products, the careless conservation of empty

or unwashed packages, and by pouring the products into the water system.

To avoid these risks, the filling operations should be carried out in suitably prepared and adequately

equipped areas, or on the treatment site.

3.5.1 - Storage

Fixed / stationary: the site used must be well ventilated and secured by lockable doors in order to

prevent even accidental access by children or unauthorised persons.

Mobile: the carrier equipment must be properly locked and kept under conditions whereby access

by children or unauthorised persons can be prevented during the absence of the operator. All full or

partially utilised containers must be secured against tipping, falling or breakage during transportation.

Both types of storage must:

— have a suitable container for the storing of empty packaging materials should a specific storage

area not be available;

— have a clean water supply readily available for washing, by means of a specific container or

through connection to the waterworks system;

— have the use of fire extinguishers, should flammable products and substances be stored.

- All packages, whether whole or partially utilised, must be stored in their original

packing and with the warning instructions clearly displayed and legible.

- The storage indications must always be scrupulously adhered to, as well as their

utilisation and possible disposal as suggested on the product’s original

packaging.

3.5.2 - Specific equipment

The site at which the preparation and filling out will take place must provide for:

— all the equipment necessary to the precise measuring of both the dose of product to be mixed in

the tank at every filling;

— all the equipment and means useful to the preparation of the mixture and for the cleaning of the

operator in case of contamination;

— all tools necessary to facilitate the direct introduction of the agro-chemicals in the tank;

— the allocation of clothing and specific equipment in order to avoid contamination by contact or

inhalation during the whole operative phase of the intervention.

3.5.3 - Disposal of empty containers and agro-chemicals residues

Agro-chemicals are classified as “special” waste and their disposal must take place separately from

“urban” wastes.

Empty packaging and contaminated containers to be done away with cannot be

dispersed, burned or buried.

The washing water for the cisterns and the tools utilised for the preparation of

mixtures cannot be emptied on the ground, spilled into the sewage system or in

waterways and rivers.

8 FILLING 8

FILLINGMUSTBE CARRIEDOUTWITH THEMACHINEON AFLAT SURFACE. ONTHE SITE, BEFORE

THE OPERATION, THE DOSES TO BE POURED INTO THE TANK MUST BE PREDISPOSED.

IT IS NECESSARY TO ALWAYS MAKE USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTION.

EXECUTION:

1. Take the duster to the area in which it is to be filled and rest it on the ground.

2. Stop the tractor and remove the key from the control panel .

3. Before filling the tank, stop delivery by bringing the control lever to the “0” position

4. Before opening the lid, ALWAYS check that the tractor is STILL and that

the key was REMOVED from the control board.

5. Open the lid of the tank.

Avoid that both BEFORE and DURING the loading any foreign objects like stones,

small pieces of metal, etc., are introduced into the tank. Even if small dimensioned,

such objects could, by getting into contact with the mixer during its operation,

cause some sparks inside the tank and set the duster on fire.

6. Introduce the powder product into the tank, up to its complete filling.

7. Close the lid of the tank.

8. Start the tractor, always observing the safety norms and move to the treatment place.

Before any transferring, make sure that the powder delivery lock is CLOSED

(position “0”). If the delivery lock is open and the fan is still, the powder contained

inside the tank could, as a result of the vibrations, move down and compact itself

inside the fan, so causing at the machine start an excessive solicitation of the

moving parts, which could consequently break. As a general precaution measure,

it is recommended to avoid covering great transferring distances with the loaded

tank, in order to avoid the product getting compacted inside the tank.

9 CONSTANT DELIVERY CONTROL 9

The products to be used with the duster have physical characteristics that can be stongly modified

by the temperature and humidity conditions at the moment of treatment. Therefore, it is not possible

to obtain and set reliable delivery amounts corresponding to the various opening indexes of the delivery

holes on the tank bottom.

Usually, the machine allows deliveries from a min. 0,4 up to max. 8 kg/min., with the opening index set

on No. 5. To do a treatment with constant powder distribution, it is possible to set the on-of lever at

the same opening position by the locking handle.

8

S420-S430-S520-S530 1-2003

The disposal of special wastes is regulated by specific norms. In order to perform this operation it is

necessary to obtain the relevant information from the Local Offices specifically appointed to rule on

this subject. The non compliance with these regulations can cause considerable damage to persons

and animals as well as polluting the environment.

3.5.4 - Personal means of protection

The toxicity of agro-chemicals forces persons working with them to wear adequate protective clothing

and accessories in order to avoid risks of contamination by contact or inhalation.

In each of the following work stages:

— filling of tanks and adding of the agro-chemical,

— dusting,

— adjusting of the duster,

— emptying and cleaning of the tank,

— replacement of the agro-chemical,

— maintenance interventions,

it is necessary to wear personal protection clothing and accessories.

00073

The following must be worn:

— Polyethylene or polyvinyl gloves.

— Full, waterproof cotton overalls, in order to

guarantee transpiration, fitted with polypro-

pylene side flaps.

In commerce, one-time ‘tyvek’ overalls are

available which, after use (see picture), must

be disposed of according to the modalities

applicable to toxic waste.

— A protective half-mask in polychloroprene

rubber with 1 or 2 filters. Filters for gases and

organic fumes, of European A1-class va-

pours, are envisaged and these can be

combined with anti-dust models of P1 Euro-

pean class, for harmful mists and powders,

or P2, for harmful and toxic mists and pow-

ders.

The filters must be replaced:

- when the smell/taste of agro-chemicals can be detected, and that of active A1-

class carbons;

- when difficulty in breathing is experienced for the anti-dust filters of class P1 and

P2.

In any case it is necessary to make use of all personal means of protection as

suggested by the manufacturers.

Check that the tractor’s “permissible carried weight” and the “rear overhang

allowed” are compatible with the weight and dimensions of the fully loaded duster

and complete with equipment mounted for the treatment (see Paragraphs “3.1”

- “4.7” and “6”).

The tractor’s power take-off (PTO), under all utilisation conditions, must provide

a power exceeding that absorbed by the duster.

COUPLING POWER WITH TRACTORS OF AT LEAST:

18 CV = 13,2 KW for dusters ESSE 420 e ESSE 430

25 CV = 18,4 KW for dusters ESSE 520 e ESSE 530

For the models ESSE 520 and ESSE 530, the coupling to the tractor SHALL be realized

by using a cardan transmission shaft equipped with a clutch.

The duster should be mounted on a flat surface, taking care to clear away all people not involved in

the operation, including children and animals.

EXECUTION:

1. Loosen the chains of the lifter arms.

2. Start the tractor and take the lifter’s arms to the level of the machine’s pins.

3. Stop the tractor and remove the key from the control panel.

4. Insert the toggle joints on the machine’s pegs, locking them with the clip pins.

5. Take the tension rod off of the tractor’s 3rd point and locking it with the release pin.

6. Screw the tension rod slightly to put it in tension.

7. Start the tractor and hoist the duster until the 2 PTO are the same height.

8. Stop the tractor, remove the key from the control panel and make sure

that no one approaches the hydraulic controls of the lifter.

NEVER OPERATE OR STAND BENEATH THE MACHINE OR IN THE AREA THAT

COULD BE INVOLVED IN ITS SUDDEN LOWERING.

9. By acting on the 3rd-point rod, vertically align the duster. N.B.: block the 3rd-point rod with the

specific lock ring.

10. Block the coupling by tightening the chains of the hoister arms.

When the operation is completed the 2 drive outlets (PTO) must be positioned on

the same axis, both in vertical and horizontal direction.
