1.6 DECLARED USE
The TR shredder has been designed to be used exclusively in the agricul-
tural sector, for mowing grass, maize stalks, maize and branches up to a
diameter of about 8 cm. according to the type of tool used.
Te machine is carried by the tractor via 3-point hitch and acts on the material
via the rotation of the tool-holder shaft, which turns at high speed activated
by the tractor PTO via cardan connection.
The machine is not suitable to be used in other sectors than in agriculture.
USE ENVIRONMENT
The shredder works:
• in open fields, on non friable land, not excessively stony with a maxi-
mum gradient of 3°
• in environments with a temperature from 0˚÷ 50˚C.
IMPROPER USE
Any use different to that declared is to be considered im-
proper.
Sometimes the operator uses the shredder incorrectly, be-
low find some examples the must NOT BE PERFORMED.
The operator must not:
• connect the shredder to a Cardan shaft with higher
or lower power transmission capacity.
• work in reverse gear,.
• couple the shredder to vehicles of unsuitable pow-
er or weight
• assemble the shredder without securing the re-
bound tie rods of the three-point hitch of the tractor’s el-
evator
• lift the equipment when the PTO is rotating
• make curves or reverse with the shredder lowered.
Remember that the shredder is developed only for the purpose of the de-
clared use.
Any other use is to be considered improper.

1.8 OPTIONAL
Below find a list of the different optionals which can be requested according
to personal requirements:
1 - PIVOTING WHEELS
They are used instead of the rear wheel and allow to keep the the outlet of
the shredded material completely free, thus preventing annoying clogging,
which would lead to obstruction of the expelling area.
2 - BEATER BAR
Mounted inside the mowing chamber, it reduces the dimensions of the mate-
rial shredded via teeth, which act as counter-blades for every pair of knives.
3 - OPENABLE REAR BONNET
If kept open via the two side arms, it allows to spread the shredded material
from the rear.
4 - BAFFLES
Mounted on the openable bonnet, they guide the ejection of shredded ma-
terial, widening and making the spreading area uniform.
IMPORTANT!
As the openable bonnet and its baffles do not respect the CE Standards,
they cannot be marketed and used in countries that are art of the EURO-
PEAN COMMUNITY.
