5.1- Important recommendations

ƒ It is recommended to work with a cutting height that the machine does not
collect dirt, damaging both harvester and forage.
ƒ The maximum working angle of the cardan shaft can not exceed 15
to not exceed the maximum angle when lifting or lowering the machine with
the PTO turned on. It is recommended to unplug the PTO when not harvesting.
ƒ Always switch on the tractor's PTO at idle, wait for the system to fully start,
and then slowly accelerate the tractor until it reaches the working speed (the
rotation in the PTO depends on the machine version: 540 or 1000 rpm). Pay
attention to the correct rotation, if in doubt, consult the factory.
ƒ Keep the rotation in the PTO during the all operation.
ƒ It is recommended to slowly start harvesting and increase the speed of the
tractor's movement gradually until it reaches the most appropriate conditions
of the crop, such as height, humidity, density, slope of the terrain, etc.

5.2- Preventive test

Before starting to work, perform a preventive test as follows:
ƒ Make sure the cardan shaft is properly locked in the machine shaft and in
the power take-off of the tractor.
ƒ Turn on the tractor;
ƒ Raise the machine to the desired distributing height, respecting the maximum
allowable incline for the cardan shaft (15
ƒ Activate the tractor's PTO at idle, wait for the system to fully activate and then
slowly accelerate the tractor until it reaches the working rotation on the PTO
(the rotation on the PTO depends on the machine version: 540 or 1000 rpm);
ƒ Observe the machine for a few seconds.
If you notice any abnormality or failure of the machine functions, excessive
noise or vibration, stop the machine immediately:
ƒ Immediately stop the tractor movement;
