Introduction
This manual includes full instructions for the correct use and maintenance of the
machinery, and also the recommended spare parts list.
In order to prevent any possible damage or injury to the machine and/or the operator(s),
read this manual carefully for proper knowledge of the assembly of the implements, their
use in the field, and their maintenance. If you have any doubts, please contact your local
dealer or distributor.
Should the machine be resold, please supply this manual along with the machine to the
new purchaser.
Warranty
The manufacturer warrants new machinery to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship at the time of delivery to the original purchaser if correctly set up and
operated according to this Operator's Manual.
The manufacturer will repair or replace free of charge any defective part which is returned
by the purchaser (freight prepaid) and found to be defective on inspection authorized by
the manufacturer during the warranty period.
This warranty shall be valid for 12 (twelve) months from the delivery of the goods to the
original purchaser.
If the customer is unable to return the defective part to the manufacturer, the manufacturer
cannot be held liable for any costs due for repair or replacement of any part of the
machine. The manufacturer shall only supply the part(s) required for such repair and/or
replacement.
The warranty shall be considered null and void when it is evident that the machine has
been improperly used or has been repaired without authorization.
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any obligation or agreement reached by any
employers, agents or dealers who do not comply with the above warranty. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for the subsequent damages. This warranty replaces
any other warranty, either explicit or implied, as well as any other obligation of the
manufacturer.
NOTE:
ALL WARRANTY WORK OR REPAIRS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE

1)General instructions for operation and maintenance
Read all the directions carefully before using the machine. When in doubt,
seek advice from the manufacturers. The manufacturing company declines all
liability for non-compliance with the following safety and accident-prevention
instructions.
1- Pay attention to the danger signs and symbols in this manual and on the machine.
2- Do not touch moving parts.
3- All work on the machine (including adjustments) must always be carried out with the
tractor immobilized and the engine switched off.
4- It is strictly prohibited to carry persons or objects on the machine and/or on the tractor.
5- Driving the tractor with the machine connected is absolutely forbidden to persons
lacking suitable experience, or who are in poor health, or who do not have a suitable
driving license.
6- All accident-prevention measures recommended in this manual should be strictly
followed.
7- When a machine is attached to the tractor, always evaluate the suitability of the tractor
for the purpose, in order to work safely. Keep in mind that when a machine is attached
to the tractor – even if it is a towed type – it alters the tractor’s stability, and therefore all
the necessary precautions must be taken (ballast, tire pressure, etc.).
8- Before operating the tractor and machine, check that all transport and operational
safety devices are complete and working.
9- When driving on public roads, you should comply with the Highway Code regulations
for the country concerned.
10-Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the control devices and how they work.
11-Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear clothing which is loose or which could become
entangled in rotating or moving parts.
12-Never leave the driving seat when the tractor is running.
13-It is extremely important to appreciate that road holding, steering and braking may be
significantly affected with the machine attached.
14-Before connecting the unit, stop the engine, apply the parking brake and remove the
ignition key from the instrument panel.
15-Spare parts must meet the requirements as defined by the manufacturer. Use only
original spare parts.
16-Safety decals must always be clearly visible. They must be kept clean and replaced if
they become too illegible (they can be ordered from the agent if necessary).

2) Guide to the signs and symbols used on the machine
IMPORTANT
These signs and symbols give information to the operator on how to make the best use of
the machine so as to prolong its life, avoid damage, optimize work and, above all, to avoid
injury to the operator and anyone within range of the machine. Note: most of the symbols
that you will find below are located on the machine, but some are only in this manual and
indicate how to act or what must be done during assembly, when maintenance or repairs
are being done, etc..
1) Before beginning operations, read the instruction
manual carefully.
2) Before doing any maintenance or repair work, stop the
machine at a suitable spot. Turn off the tractor motor, apply
the brake, remove the key from the ignition and consult this
manual.
3) This is a warning to wear proper personal protective
equipment when carrying out maintenance and repairs

4
4) Risk of possible ejection of blunt objects. Keep a
safe distance from the machine
5) Indicates that there is a risk of crushing your hands.
Keep your distance.
6) Indicates a greasing point.

5
Examples of general measurements for identifying the assembly
accessories based on type.
When tightening the bolts refer to the tightening torque table (the class of the
material is generally stamped on the head of the bolts).

4) Delivery and assembly
Delivery and unpacking
The machine is delivered partially assembled in 1 (one) box containing 6 (six) boxes and 1
(one) pallet. The boxes "A", "B", “C”, ”D”, ”E”, and “F” are all the various mounting
accessories (pins, screws, fittings, etc..) All components are inspected by the
manufacturer before shipment. Upon receipt of the machine, ensure that the case is intact
and that the contents have not been damaged during transport. If you detect damage and
/or anomalies immediately report the matter to your vendor.
Note: The packaging is made from wood, plastic film, cardboard and steel, and must
be disposed of according to applicable laws in your locality.
To unpack the boxes received by using suitable lifting is to lift the weight
given to the banks to bring stability to the pallets because of their size and shape.
Each machine arrives packed in one crate and one pallet

Assembly instructions
Assembly must be done carefully and accurately, for the safety of the person(s)
doing the assembling and to ensure proper machine operation.
Assembly should be done on a flat, solid surface, using the proper tools and
wearing suitable clothing, making sure that all people not involved in the assembly
are kept at a safe distance. Assemblers must provide suitable lifting mechanisms
and supports for stabilizing the partially assembled units, so as to prevent them
from falling and causing damage or injury. The steps for assembly are illustrated in
following. Depending on the experience of the assemblers and the tools available, it
is not necessary that the instructions be followed in the exact order given here, but
the safety precautions described above must always be strictly and carefully
followed.
