of the tractor carefully from any presence of mud.
• When driving on a public street, the machine must be in the transport position and the power socket of the tractor
must be unplugged.
• The weight of the machine modifies the stability of the combination tractor-sower, influencing the steering ability
as well as the breaking ability, it is thus important to proceed with a moderate speed.
• In particular, always remember that the front shaft must always be loaded with a weight equal to 20% of the
combination tractor-sower.
• It is very important to remember that the road-holding and the steering and breaking abilities may be influenced,
even heavily, from the presence of the of any equipment or bear that is being carried.
• On bends, particular attention must be paid to the centrifugal force on the machine with or without the carried
equipment, especially on sloping streets or grounds.
• All transports on street must be made with empty tanks and with a maximum speed of 25 km/h.
• When the equipment or other bears obstruct the visibility of the lighting disposals or signals, these must be
correctly reproduced on the equipment, as regulated in the driving code of the residing Country.

with the controls and its operating abilities.
Before coming down from the tractor and before every operation of maintenance and regulation, action the parking
brake, switch the engine off, remove the ignition key from the dashboard and wait for all the mobile elements to
stop.
The safety of the operator and the people present around the machine depends on the ability of judgment and
caution in using of the machine. Therefore, it is necessary to know the position and the functions of all the controls
well).
The machine must be always found in perfect state of operation and must be repaired with replacement parts only
originates them.
CONNECTION OF MACHINE TO THE TRACTOR
The machine must be connected to the tractor with a power take off activated at 500 rpm, with weight and suitable
power, in compliance with the enforced requirements in the country in which the machine is uses.
During the phases of use, regulation, maintenance, repair
or movement the operator must use adequate Individual
Protection Devices (DPI).
For the coupling of the tractor to the machine, the operator must move the tractor with the reverse gear until it
reaches the connections on the machine with the back lifters.
• Action the parking brake of the tractor, switch the engine off, remove the ignition key and step down.
• Insert the hinges and the relative plugs/safety forelocks.
• Connect the third point (tightener) of the machine to the tractor, lift the machine until the power of the machine
and tractor are at the same height and register the tightener bringing the machine in the horizontal /slightly tilted
back position (pic.4), verify that the pivot is about halfway the buttonhole(pic.4.1).
• Block the lifting bars of the tractors, in order to avoid the machine oscillating laterally, as this compromises the
cross-sectional stability of the complex.
