OPERATIONAL SAFETY

ƒ Never operate the machine in
case you have ingested alcoholic
beverages or taken medicine,
which might change your state of
alert and coordination. Keep alert
and focused during the operation
and always act with good sense.
A moment of recklessness or
inattention might result in a
serious accident.
ƒ Before you turn on the machine,
verify if there are no tools or other
objects on it.
ƒ Observe the surroundings of
the machine before you put it
in operation. Keep animals and
people at a safe distance. Special
care must be taken if there are
children nearby.
ƒ Due to its practical necessity,
the endless screw is not fully
protected, which requires special
care during its functioning. Never
approach or touch the screw when
the machine is working.
ƒ It is forbidden to stand on the
machine when it is working or
being used for transportation.
Whenever it is necessary to climb
on the machine to perform any
adjustments or repair, turn off
the tractor PTO and wait until all
the components are completely
stationary.

Instructions Manual
ƒ Do not allow children or curious people to
approach the machine when it is in operation or
during maneuvers.
ƒ Keep all the covers and protections in their
proper places and do not operate the machine
without them.
ƒ When you maneuver the machine coupled to
the tractor, observe if there is enough space to
perform the movements.
ƒ Always drive the tractor in compatible speeds, in
accordance with field or road conditions and the
tractor size. Avoid sudden maneuvers, especially
in rough terrain. In order to tow a load when
its weight is heavier than the tractor's, do not
exceed the maximum speed of 16kmph.

in enclosed places or without ventilation. Carbon
monoxide gases expelled though the tractor's
exhaust system are extremely toxic.

sure to have enough ballast so that the tractor's
front tires have sufficient contact with the ground.

steep terrain when the machine is coupled.
In case you notice any imbalance, reduce the
speed. When you are going down a steep road,
always keep the tractor engaged.

people who are not familiar with its operations.
Do not allow them to approach the machine
when it is working.

the source before you turn it back on.
