Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
This Instruction Manual for Operation (hereafter called
“the Manual”) provides the operator with useful information
on how to simplify machine use by operating it correctly
and in safe conditions.
The sections below must not be considered as a long
and burdensome list of warnings: they must be regarded
as a number of instructions that improve machine perfor-
mance and prevent damage to persons, objects or animals
originating from incorrect machine operation and use.
It is essential that each operator in charge of transport-
ing, installing, commissioning, operating, maintaining, re-
pairing and dismantling the machine consults this man-
ual and read it carefully before carrying out any operation.
This will help him avoid incorrect manoeuvres and prevent
inconveniences that may jeopardise the machine integrity
and eventually result in risks for operators’ safety.
If you are still in doubt or have points to clear on ma-
chine operation after reading this manual, do not hesitate
to contact the Manufacturer who will be ready to assist you
promptly and carefully for better and most efficient ma-
chine operation. Finally, we would like to point out that
existing regulations on safety, hygiene at work and envi-
ronmental protection must always be adhered to during
all the phases of machine operation. The operator must
therefore check that the machine be operated exclusively
in optimised safety conditions for both persons and ob-
jects. This manual is to be considered as an integral part
of the product. Therefore, along with the Declaration of
Conformity, it must be stored in a safe place where it can
be consulted during the entire machine life and passed on
to the new owner.
This manual was drawn up according to the regulations
existing at the time when it was printed.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to change the
machine without having to promptly update this man-
ual.
In the event of disputes, the valid version is the Ital-
ian text.
Some of the pictures in this manual show details or ac-
cessories which may be different from those fitted in your
machine. Components or guards may have been removed
to make images more useful.
1.1 GENERAL
Conventional symbols: to identify and make different
danger types recognisable, the following symbols are used
in the manual:
WARNING!
DANGER FOR OPERATORS’ HEALTH AND
SAFETY.
WARNING!
RISK OF DAMAGE TO MACHINE OR DRILL
PRODUCT.
In the text, symbols are accompanied by safety warn-
ing messages: these are short sentences to further exem-
plify the type of risk/ danger. Warning texts guarantee the
safety of operators and prevent damage to the machine or
drill product.
The drawings, pictures and diagrams in this manual are
not scaled. They exemplify the information provided in the
text and are an addition to it: they are not meant to illus-
trate the supplied machine in details. For a more compre-
hensive overview of the machine, drawings, pictures and
diagrams represent the machine, or parts of it, without the
protections or guards in most cases.
Finally, a few words on annexes. As they are photo-
copies of catalogues, drawings, etc., they have the origi-
nal ID and page numbers (when provided with it). If they
are not originally provided with a numbering, they are not
given one.
Definitions:
Below is a list of definitions of the main terminology
used in this Manual. Read these definitions carefully be-
fore consulting the Manual.

starting up, adjusting, carrying out maintenance,
cleaning, repairing or transporting a machine.

ATTENTION!
ATTENTION! LOSS OF EQUIPMENT ON THE ROAD
AND OF VEHICLE CONTROL, DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURIES FOR THE DRIVER AND THE PEOPLE IN
THE VICINITY. Before connecting the equipment to the
tractor, and in any case within 8 hours of continuous
use, check the state of wear and the integrity of the
tractor connecting elements and of the structural ele-
ments. The machine cannot be used if anomalies are
noted. Contact your dealer immediately.
1. Hook the equipment to a suitable, sufficiently-
powered tractor by means of the appropriate device
(lifter), in conformity with applicable standards.
2. The class of the equipment attachment pins must be
the same as that of the lifter attachment.
3. Take care when working within the range of the lifting
arms as this is a very dangerous area.
4. Be very careful when hooking and unhooking the
equipment.
5. It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor
and linkage for manoeuvring the lifting controls from
the outside (fig. 2.2).
6. It is absolutely forbidden to stand in the space be-
tween the tractor and the equipment (fig. 2.2) with
the engine running. It is possible to work between
the tractor and the equipment only after the parking
brake has been applied and a suitably sized blocking
wedge or stone has been placed under the wheels.
7. The attaching of additional equipment onto the trac-
tor brings about a different distribution of weight on
the axles. Check the compatibility of the tractor per-
formance with the weight that the machine transfers
onto the three-point linkage. If in doubt consult the
tractor Manufacturer.
8. Comply with the maximum admissible weight for the
axle, the total mobile weight, transport regulations
and the highway code.

highway code of the country involved.
2. Any transport accessories must be provided with suit-
able signs and guards.
3. It is very important to remember that road holding
capacity as well as direction and braking capacity
can be influenced, sometimes considerably, by equip-
ment being either carried or towed.
4. When negotiating curves, be aware of the variation in
centrifugal force exerted in a position other than that
of the center of gravity, with and without the equip-
ment in tow. Also pay greater attention on sloping
roads or ground.
5. For transport, adjust and fasten the lateral lifting arm
chains of the tractor; lock the hydraulic lifting control
lever.
6. For displacements beyond the work area, the equip-
ment must be placed in the transportation position.
7. Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports
and tables for signaling of dimensions.
8. When the dimensions of carried or partially-carried
equipment conceal the tractor’s signalling and lighting
devices, these must also be installed on the equip-
ment itself, in conformity with regulations of the high-
way code of the country involved. When in operation
make sure that the lighting system is in perfect work-
ing order.

The cardan shaft must bear the suitable safety markings
for the country (CE or other). It must always have its own
instructions sheet to be adhered to and the guard bearing
the marking must be wholly intact.
Assemble, operate and disconnect the cardan shaft
always according to information and safety standards
supplied for manual provided by the shaft manufac-
turer and delivered with the shaft itself.
In using the PTO shaft pay attention to:
1. Only the Cardan shaft supplied by the Manufacturer
must be used.
2. Frequently and periodically check the cardan shaft
guard. It must always be in an excellent condition
and wellwelded.
3. Always check carefully that the Cardan shaft guard
is always in position, both during trans-portation and
operation.
4. The engine must not be running when installing and
removing the Cardan shaft.
5. Care must be taken regarding the safety and correct
assembly of the Cardan shaft.
6. Before engaging the pto, ensure that there are no
persons or animals in the fi eld of action of the ma-
chine and that the selected running rate corresponds
to the permissible value. Never exceed the recom-
mended maximum rate.
7. Do not insert the power take-off with the engine off or
synchronized with the wheels.
8. Always disengage the pto when the cardan shaft is
set at an excessively open angle (never beyond 10
degrees - Pic.4) and when it is not in use.
9. Only clean and grease the Cardan shaft when the
power takeoff is disconnected, the engine is off , the
hand brake pulled and the key removed.
10. When not in use, place the Cardan shaft on the sup-
port provided for it.
11. After having dismantled the Cardan shaft, place the
protective cover on the power take-off shaft again.
12. Do not go close to the working area or rotating com-
ponents.
13. Avoid working clothes with belts, fl aps or parts that
might get hooked on. The contact with rotating com-
ponents may cause even deadly accidents.
14. Do not use the transmission as support or footboard.
15. Fasten the guard’s holding chains.
16. The best operating conditions are with the chain in
radial position with respect to the transmission.
17. Adjust the length of the chains so that the transmis-
sion may articulate in any operating, transport and
manoeuvre condition. Avoid excessive chain length
which might lead to them twisting around the trans-
mission.
18. Light up the transmission working area during instal-
lation and night-time use or in case of poor visibility.
19. The tractor label on the guard indicates the transmis-
sion connection side on the tractor side.
20. Any torque limiter or freewheel must be fi tted on the
operating machine side.
21. Never use the chains to transport or support the PTO
transmission.
22. Keep the transmission horizontal when transporting it
to prevent it from coming out and cause accidents or
damage the guard. Use adequate means of transport
depending on transmission weight.
