The Pellicano and Master series shredders are particularly recommended for the shredding of
bushes, branches, grass and reeds along street banks, canal and well edges in the breakflame band
and underneath electrical cables. They are further recommended for the shredding of grass and
pruning in fruit, vineyard, olive and citrus cultivation. They may also be used for shredding residues
after corn, wheat, Soya, cotton, sunflower, artichoke and tobacco collection.
ANY OTHER USE OF THE SHREDDER IS TO CONSIDERED ILLEGAL AND IS NOT
ALLOWED BY THE MANUFACTURER

The Pellicano and Master serie shredders are equipped with:
1 piston for obtaining the lateral movement
1 piston for adjusting the inclination of the shredding part from +90° to -60° (-55 for Special)
A safety system guarantees the withdrawal of the shredder and a return to automatic in the presence
of obstacles.

LETTING PERSONS, ANIMALS OR THINGS GET ONTO OR BE TRANSPORTED BY
THE PELLICANO AND MASTER SERIES SHREDDERS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
ATTENTION: as shown in the picture below, it is possible that –during the work –the cardan shaft
can touch the 3 point linkage of the machine, causing its irreparable damage. The operator, in order
not to damage the cardan shaft itself, constantly must verify that during the work the cardan shaft
NEVER touch the 3 point linkage of the machine.
3. OPERATOR CONDITIONS

Falc - cod. 2023 02/19 –Inglese -
7
a) The operator must remain at the tractor driving seat when using the shredder. The operator
must not leave the tractor driving seat if the tractor’s power take-off has not been
removed and if the shredders moving parts (rotors etc) have not come to a complete
standstill. The arrest time for the rotating parts of the shredder is approximately 3
minutes.
b) Under normal conditions, that is with the rear hood closed, the operator must ensure that
there are no persons present within a 20 metre range surrounding the shredder when
starting the shredder and during work. The operator must immediately stop both the
tractor and the shredder if one or more persons enter the 20 metre range surrounding the
machine.
c) The operator cannot use the tractor’s lifter without having first removed the power take-off
(PTO). Prior the lifting the shredder using the tractor lifter the operator must ensure that
the power take-off (PTO) is removed and that the rotor is at a standstill.
d) It is strictly prohibited to go in reverse while continuing to chop; i.e. with the tractor PTO
engaged. Before starting the reverse manoeuvre, always wait till the rotor has completely
stopped.
e) The front part of the machine is equipped with oscillating protective devices designed to
prevent any material from being thrown out while working. You need to check these
devices constantly to make sure that they are free to oscillate and that they are not
deformed (crooked or bent). This check is very important particularly on stony ground
where these protective devices are subject to numerous impacts during normal work. If
the protective devices are deformed, they must be replaced immediately.
f) To protect your eyes from any objects thrown out from the shredder while working,
always wear suitable work goggles.
4.1. CONNECTING THE SHREDDER TO THE TRACTOR

Falc - cod. 2023 02/19 –Inglese -
8
a) All Falc shredders may be applied to all types of tractors provided that they are equipped with a
universal 3 point linkage (see MINIMUM Power, Weight and Size of tractors).
b) The shredder must be positioned level and in a stable position on the supporting leg.
c) The tractor must reverse towards the shredder until its arms correspond to the shredder’s 3p
arms. Any operators on the ground must keep a distance of at least 5 metres from the machine
during this phase.
d) Position the pins of the lower 3 point and lock with the split pins supplied.
e) Connect the upper arm of the tractor to the upper pin of the 3 point, adjusting so that the
machine assumes a horizontal position with regards to the ground.
f) Position the cardan shaft and check that its ends are properly connected with the tractor’s and
multiplier’s power take-off. Fix the anti-rotation chains present on the cardan on both the tractor
side and the shredder side. The tractor engine must be off during this phase in order to
avoid any erroneous movement starting up the power take-off (PTO).
g) Connect the hydraulic system tubes to the tractor’s distributor.
h) Having carried out these operations it is possible to move the tractor’s lifter enough to free the
supporting foot which must be completely lifted and locked with the pin supplied.
i) For the series’ machines: Tractor’s power take-off (PTO) = 550 cycles/minute
4.2. USING THE SHREDDER

Falc - cod. 2023 02/19 –Inglese -
9
After having correctly attached the shredder to the tractor the operator may begin work always
respecting the conditions in point 3 (point 4.3. if working with the hood open).
Carefully check that the safety pins for transport which impede any movement by the
shredder have been removed. If not, using the 2 pistons could provoke severe damage to the
machine.
ATTENTION: the operator must always ensure that there are NO persons present within a 5
metre range and that the rotor is at a standstill whenever he/she must raise or lower the
machine to change from working condition to transport position or vice versa.
Prior to starting work it is advisable that the operator first practises with the horizontal and
vertical movements made possible by the 2 pistons if it is the first time that the he/she uses the
shredder.
The rear roller must always be rested on the ground during work both with the shredder in a
horizontal position or inclined.
The tractor’s forward speed is independent of the shredder; it depends on the operator who,
depending on a number of factors such as tractor power, height of residue to be shredded, working
height adjustment, etc, must regulate it in order to obtain the best performance from the machine.
4.3. REAR COVER FOR ROTOR MAINTENANCE
Just for Pellicano serie
Remove the rear cover for servicing the rotor only when the machine is DISCONNECTED from the
tractor's power take-off (PTO) and only for the time necessary for performing maintenance.
During work the cover must be closed and bolted to the frame.
As an alternative to the standard cover installed on the machine, the special cover shown in the
figure below may be used.
4.4. DETACHING THE SHREDDER FROM THE TRACTOR
The manoeuvres necessary for correctly detaching the shredder from the tractor are as follows:

Falc - cod. 2023 02/19 –Inglese -
10
a) Stop the tractor level, use the hand brake and disconnect the power take-off.
b) Rest the shredder on the ground so that the rear roller is in a stable and horizontal position.
c) Switch off the tractor engine and wait the approximately 3 minutes needed for the shredder’s
moving parts to come to a complete halt prior to getting off.
d) Position the supporting foot.
e) Detach the cardan joint from the tractor’s power take-off and arrange in the appropriate shredder
support.
f) Detach the hydraulic system’s tubes from the tractor’s distributor.
g) Detach the shredder from the tractor’s 3p linkage drawing out first the split pins which lock the
pins and then removing the pins themselves.
h) Get back on the tractor and move it forward in order to completely extricate the arms of the
tractor from the shredder’s 3p.
4.5. TRANSPORT
During work, at the rear the shredder rests on the roller and at the front it is kept raised by the arms
of the tractor at the front.
During transport the shredders are completely born by the tractor (see Point 2).
During transport the shredder can be positioned both HORIZONTALLY and
VERTICALLY but it is compulsory for the operator to lock that position with the
appropriate safety pins. A pictogram is applied on the shredder indicating the points at which
to place the safety pins.
