towed accessories. They are not designed to carry
passengers.
4. Do not allow children to operate the machine or its towed
accessories.
5. Do not allow adults to operate the machine or towed
accessories without adequate instructions.
6. When the machine is equipped with towed accessories,
always start slowly and gradually increase the speed,
adapting it to the conditions of use.
7. Tow accessories slowly on uneven or hilly ground and near
to streams and ditches, in order to prevent overturning and
loss of control. Do not drive near to streams and ditches.
8. Towed accessories may cause stability problems when
slowing down and stopping the vehicle that is towing
them. If the vehicle is stopped too suddenly, there is a risk
of it being struck by the load or the accessory itself. Do not
fill the towed accessory to its maximum weight capacity
(trailer 50 kg, spreader 29 litres) without checking whether
the towing vehicle and conditions of use permit towing
and stopping in total safety.
9. Before towing accessories on a slope, read the instructions
for using the machine on sloping ground given on page 26
of this manual. Do not use towed accessories on very steep
slopes.
10. Do not tow accessories on, or even across, public roadways.
11. The speed of the machine when towing an accessory must
be lower than the maximum speed of the machine without
towed accessories, which is 8,6 km/h.
12. Follow the instructions for maintenance and lubrication of
towed accessories as described in this manual, to ensure
their optimum operation during work.
Mounting
For mounting see the relative trailer or spreader manuals.
Use
Also refer to the manual supplied with the towed accessory.
WARNING
- To prevent possible injuries, before fitting or detaching
a towed accessory from the machine, make sure there are
no bystanders in the vicinity. The same applies when
working.
- Accessories must only be towed, never pushed.
- Do not exceed the recommended transport capacities:
the maximum loads are 50 kg for the trailer and 29 litres
for the spreader.
- For better use of towed accessories, distribute the load
evenly over the trailer's tipper body or in the spreader's
hopper. An excessive rear load increases the risk of
overturning.
- To attach the trailer or spreader using the towing hitch, bring
the end part of the frame on the accessory into contact with
the hitch on the machine, insert the pin in the two holes on the
base and lock in place with the cotter pin.
- Do some trial runs to get accustomed to driving the machine
with unladen towed accessories. Ascertain carefully what speed
you can work at and the stopping times of the machine with
accessories hitched. Also bear in mind that, with a fully laden
trailer or spreader hitched to the machine, the working
conditions are much more demanding.
Trailer
To unload material from the trailer's tipper body, remove the
cotter pin and the pin that keep the body fixed to the frame.
When removing the pin, keep the tipper body handle pressed
with your other hand to prevent the body from tipping up
suddenly. Then pull the handle upward to unload the material.
NOTE: The handle is extractable to reduce the effort needed
for lifting. After emptying, push the handle down and lock the
tipper body in place by reinserting the pin and cotter pin.
WARNING
- Before carrying out unloading operations, always ensure
that there are no people, animals or objects in the vicinity
of the trailer.
- During work always bear in mind that the wheel track of
the trailer is wider than that of the machine by 12 cm, 6
on each side. Dimensions: 112x85x28 cm.
Spreader
After having loaded the hopper with the material to be spread
on the ground, use the graduated lever to adjust the width of the
outfeed to suit your requirements. The accessory is equipped
with a sieve, to retain larger clumps of material that you do not
want deposited on the ground, and a plastic cover, which can be
used for example when spreading rock salt during rainy or
snowy weather, or to cover powdered materials.
Maintenance
- Before or after a long period of storage, use automotive oil to
lubricate the retaining hook on the tipper body, the locking pin
on the retaining hook and the part of the frame with the two
holes for fixing the machine's towing hitch and corresponding
pin.
- Periodically grease or oil the wheel bearings. Use grease for
wheel bearings or automotive oil.
- Periodically check the tightness of all screws, nuts and bolts.
- Always keep the tyres sufficiently inflated. Never exceed the
maximum recommended pressure. Incorrectly inflated tyres
(for example inflated to different pressures) may cause loss
of balance.
3) Stone-guard kit
For use in place of the grass-catcher, when the cuttings are not
to be collected.
After having removed the grass-catcher, fit the stone-guard
using the two pins (D, Fig.13) and cotter pins (E).
