2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
ATTENTION!
Where the shredder is delivered packaged, the elements of the packaging
must not be left discarded as potential sources of risk. Remove the above
to the appropriate collection places if they are contaminants and/or biode-
gradable.

Fig. 2
Lifting unit
- 3 arms
The shredder series MA, ML, MP consist of a body of steel that supports all
the parts of the machine; it is designed in such a way as to ensure perfect
working of the product without the need for high powers, in compliance with
the applicable safety standards.
The articulation is secured to the main frame that allows the machine to
be tilted; two arms are connected to the joint for lateral movement, and the
three-point connection is attached to the arms.
The machine is able to perform rotations with respect to the ground of 65°
and 90° by means of a hydraulic control, operated exclusively on board the
tractor; in addition the shredder, via the hydraulic control arms can perform
lateral movements.
Within the body is housed the rotor supported by high strength bearings and
driven by transmission belts that take motion from the side transfer of the
box to the gears or revolution multiplier. The rotor is dynamically balanced
for homogeneous rotation without vibration.
The number of knives or hammers with which the rotor is equipped guaran-
tee perfect shredding of the material and adequate ventilation.

At the time of purchase the shredder is as shown in Fig. 1, and is designed
to be installed on the rear of the tractor that will need to be !tted with a "uni-
versal" rear hydraulic 3-point lift unit, second category, for the models MA,
ML and third category for the mod. MP suitable to withstand the weight and
absorption characteristics of the shredder.
The hitch is shown in Fig. 2
ATTENTION!
Before performing any operation carefully read the safety requirements
shown here.

3. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended to carefully read these annotations in order to avoid situ-
ations of danger.
1) In addition to the information in this manual it is also similarly important
to respect the general provisions relating to safety, provided for the users of
agricultural machines by current legislation of each country.
2) Observe the decals on the machine, especially those that relate to safety.
3) Only start the shredder in the resting position on the ground and horizon-
tal to the ground.
4) Never exceed the speed of the prescribed PTO (540 rpm).
5) Secure the protector tube of the cardan shaft against the rotation by con-
necting the chains in order to prevent rotation of the protective elements of
the cardan shaft.
6) Lower the machine to the level of the ground before putting it in the work
position. Ensure there are no persons in the range of action of the machine.
7) Ensure that the security devices are perfectly !tted and ef!cient before
starting work.
8) Pay special attention on stony ground, ensuring that there are no persons
in the immediate vicinity.
9) Before any interventions on the shredder, ensure that all the rotary mem-
bers are stationary and switch off the tractor by removing the start key.
10) During transfer onto public roads, observe the Highway Code.
11) Use particular caution during the operations of coupling and uncoupling
of the tool from the tractor.
12) Before leaving the tractor, secure the tool and lower it until resting on the
ground. Switch off the tractor and remove the start key.
13) Before engagement and release of the machine at the three-point hitch,
lock the hydraulic lifting controls of the tractor in order to avoid, even in-
advertently, the hydraulic lift being activated resulting in movement of the
shredder.
14) Ensure that the maximum loads permitted for the three-point hitch are
respected.
15) Perform assembly and disassembly of the cardan shaft only with the
PTO disabled and the engine of the tractor off with the ignition key removed.
16) Before engaging the PTO, ensure that the speed and direction of rota-
tion of the power take-off of the tractor are compatible with the shredder.
17) Never engage the PTO with the engine running.
18) Before engaging the PTO, ensure there are no persons in the work
area.
19) Do not allow anyone to stand near the PTO when this is engaged.
20) Before accessing the tool ensure that this is completely stopped and
that the engine of the tractor is stopped and the PTO is off.
