2. To the operator
Transportation over truck or trailer
Marchesan does not advise the equipment traffic on highways, because this practice
involves serious security risks in addition to being prohibited by the current existing traffic
law. The transportation for long distances should be done on truck, trailer or others by
following these safety guidelines:
1. Use adequate ramps to load or unload the equipment. Do not make the
loading on ditch banks, it can cause a serious accidents.
2. When lifting with a hoist, use the appropriate points to lift.
3. Fasten the moving parts that may get loose and cause accidents.
4. Use chock blocks and safety chains to secure the equipment to the truck or
trailer during the transport.
5. Stay away from the straps, cables or chains that are working under load.
6. Make sure the SMV (Slow moving vehicle) sign, and all the lights and reflectors
that are required by the local highway and transport autorithies are in place,
are clean and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming traffic.
7. After 8 to 10 km transporting, please inspect the load condition. Repeat this
procedure every 80 to 100 km. Give more attention when transporting the
equipment on rough roads, slopes and other adverse conditions.
8. Always be careful with the load height, especially when passing under
electrical power lines, bridges and others.
9. Check all laws and regulations regarding the height limits and load width
while transporting the equipment on truck or trailer. If necessary use banners,
lights and other devices to give adequate warning to the other drivers.

2. To the operator
Working safety standards
It is important to have knowledge not only about the functioning, operation of the
equipment and its technology, but also the working legal aspects when using the equipment,
such as: safety standards, operator's manual and working safety. The equipment and tools
used on the rural area must be properly handled, otherwise health and safety of involved
personnel may be compromised.
The operator must be capable and authorized to operate the tractor, meaning that that
person must comprehend the functioning instructions of the tractor and know about the
safety standards regarding the job that will be performed.
The Ministry of Labor and Employment created safety standards that aim to decrease
the risk of accidents that may occur to the rural worker. Related to the subject of agicultural
machines and equipments, we specifically cited the NR 06, NR 12, NR 17 and NR 31
standards.
Regulatory Standard - NR 06:
• For purposes of applying this Regulatory Standard, personal protective equipment
(PPE) is considered any device or product that is worn by an individual worker for protection
against risks that could threaten safety and health at work.
Regulatory Standard - NR 12:
• This Regulatory Standard and its annexes provide technical references, basic
principles and protective measures to ensure the health and physical integrity of workers
and establishes minimum requirements for the prevention of accidents and occupational
diseases in the design stages and use of machinery and equipment of all kinds, and also to
its manufacture, importation, trading, exhibition and cession in any way. It is understood as
using phase the construction, transportation, assembly, installation, adjustment, operation,
cleaning, maintenance, inspection, disabling and dismantling of machinery or equipment.
Regulatory Standard - NR 17:
• The purpose of this Regulatory Standard is to establish parameters for the adaption
of the working conditions to the psycho-physiological characteristics of the workers in order
to provide maximum comfort, safety and efficient performance.
• The working conditions include the aspects of lifting, carrying and unloading materials,
furnitures, equipments and environmental conditions of the job and the organization of work
itself.
Regulatory Standard - NR 31:
• This Regulatory Standard has the purpose to establish the precept to be applied on
the organization and on the working environment, in order to make compatible the planning
and development of agriculture, livestock, forestry, forest exploration and aquaculture with
safety on the working environment.

The PMT corn head features a interchangeable frame with all models of national and
international combine harvesters through the use of a specific frame for the coupling of the
straw elevator. This system allows that a single operator performs the job. It also levels the
equipment during the harvest.
Light and resistant platforms provide high speed and demand less effort from the
hydraulic system. The lateral transmission is easy to access through the opening of the
lateral lid.
Lowest attack angle among competition with just 13°.
Harvest height of approximately 10 cm from the ground, allowing for harvesting when
the cobble is close to the soil.
Augers with two different coil pitch types that do not allow the cobbles to be crushed
and prevent losses while keeping high rotations. The augers also avoid bindweed bushings.
Advanced, universal and zinc plated gathering chains with seven links each.
The chains tighteners have a squared tube that protects the spring, avoiding that any
impurity gets inside it and prejudice its performance.
The lateral chains are lubricated automatically, decreasing the abrasion caused by the
corn straw and by the friction between the metallic parts.
The pulling rollers are formed by six fins made of high carbon steel, tempered, sharpened
and welded for a greater safety. The tips of the pulling rollers are unaligned to avoid that
when picking up bedridden crops, the cobs on the ground do not cause bushings, thus
avoiding that any straw enters inside the equipment.
2. To the operator
Intended use of the equipment
1. To avoid damages, serious accidents or death, do NOT allow passengers on any
part of the equipment.
2. The equipment must not be used by an inexperienced operator or one that do not
know every conduction, operation and command controlling techniques.
