ATTENTION ! IT IS PROHIBITED TO USE THE SHREDDER WITH- OUT CONSULTING THE INSTRUCTION AND MAIN- TENANCE MANUAL Read this manual carefully; in case of diffi culty in understanding do not use the machine and if clarifi cation is required request information from your au- thorised retailer or from the manufacturer.
In this case the legal warranty also ceases with immediate effect . "Sicma" reserves the right to suspend at any time the production of certain models, to vary the characteristics and the design without being committed in any shape or form to provide notice thereof and is not obliged to apply these changes to models that have already been produced.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE ATTENTION! Where the shredder is delivered packaged, the elements of the packaging must not be left discarded as potential sources of risk. Remove the above to the appropriate collection places if they are contaminants and/or biode- gradable.
At the time of purchase the shredder is as shown in Fig. 1, and is designed to be installed on the rear of the tractor that will need to be fi tted with a "uni- versal" rear hydraulic 3-point lift unit, second category, for the models MA, ML and third category for the mod.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS It is recommended to carefully read these annotations in order to avoid situ- ations of danger. 1) In addition to the information in this manual it is also similarly important to respect the general provisions relating to safety, provided for the users of agricultural machines by current legislation of each country.
21) Periodically check the tightness of screws and nuts. Where necessary tighten with reference to the tightening table in paragraph 9.3. 22) During maintenance work performed with the tool raised, ensure that it is securely in the elevated position safely through the use of appropriate supports.
Identifi cation markings The shredders of the company Sicma models "MA, MLI, MLE, MPI, MPE" are available in the following work widths and models : Internal transmission unit External transmission unit Model Work width mm Model Work width mm MA 120...
Where these may be damaged, or otherwise not legible, an immediate re- placement must be requested from SICMA. SICMA disclaims all liability for any failure to comply with the rules of safety and prevention detailed in this manual. ATTENTION ! The adhesive labels and the plates showing warnings and alerts are an integral part of the machine.
Adhesive labels description ATTENTION !!! Carefully read the explanation of all the adhesive labels. Attention: read carefully the instructions and safety rules before using the machine. Risk of injury to the hands: keep Switch off the engine and the safety guards in place dur- remove the key before car- ing operation.
UNLOADING AND UNPACKING Unloading of the shredder must be performed with the utmost attention by the operators in order to avoid damage to the machine and damage to the operators themselves. ATTENTION! Ensure that during the loading and unloading operations and during move- ment of the machine, there are no unauthorised persons in the area of op- erations.
Fig. 13 INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE Adjustable third point Application to the tractor As the lift bars of each tractor have their own length, it is necessary to de- termine for each machine the suitable position for the cutter, lengthening or shortening the bar of the upper attachment of the tractor (Fig.
5) Connect the third point of the lifting unit, ensuring that the machine is perfectly fl at in relation to the ground, as indicated in paragraph 8.1. 6) Engage the hydraulic attachments to the oil distributors of the tractor (Fig. 17).
Special protections on the tractor ATTENTION! It is essential to protect with walls made of Plexiglass or thick wire fi ne- mesh, all the parts or areas that could be affected by the spraying of objects or stones. ATTENTION! Below is an example of an agricultural tractor cab with wire mesh guards. ATTENTION! Adequate protection will prevent damage to the agricultural tractor and to yourself.
Adaptation of the cardan shaft The cardan shaft supplied with the shredder is of standard length; it is there- fore necessary to adapt it to the tractor that will be used. For this contact an authorised workshop. 1) Remove the shaft in two halves, applying one part to the PTO in the trac- tor and the other to the PTO in the shredder.
RULES FOR USE OF THE SHREDDER The application of additional apparatus to the tractor involves an imbalance of the weights on the axles. It is advisable to balance, as far as possible, the weights by adding ballast, on the front of the tractor. The ballast required can be calculated using the formula below (Fig.
Position of the machine in relation to the ground Before starting the work check the position of the knives with with respect to the ground. Where it is discovered that these are touching the ground, intervene with adjustment of the levelling and roller and support, and with the lateral slide rails.
8.1.2 Adjustment slide rails Adjust the position of the slide rails so that the knives or hammers do not touch the ground (Fig. 28). Correct adjustment avoids the tools touching the ground even when it is uneven. Ignoring these guidelines means rapid wearing of the knives causing imbalance of the tool shaft, thus causing ab- normal and early deterioration of the transmission belts.
movement and tilt Having reached the place of work, the shredders MA, ML, MP, are provided with hydraulic control mobile connections for lateral movement relative to the tractor (Fig. 32), and a joint for tilt with respect to the ground (Fig. 33) the speed of which is adjustable by means of a manual operation choke (Fig.
ORDINARY MAINTENANCE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE TASKS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE EFFI- CIENCY AND THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE MACHINE. ATTENTION! When carrying out maintenance, proceed as follows: - Switch off the power take-off and switch off the tractor engine - Rest the tool on the ground Do not stand for any reason behind the shredder when the tractor is in mo- tion.
Adjustment of the belts and replacement The belts should be checked and adjusted after the fi rst 5 hours of work: thereafter, check the tension every 50 hours of work. Avoid replacing one belt only in order not to compromise the uniform tensioning of the belts. ATTENTION! All the operations of checking and replacing the belts must be performed with the tractor engine stopped, the PTO switched off, the parking brake...
5) For this operation it is recommended to contact your authorised Sicma centres that will also perform testing of the machine, to verify that the new knives or hammers do not cause abnormal vibrations.
BEFORE RESTARTING THE TRACTOR CHECK CAREFULLY CLOSING OF THE HOOD AND TIGHTENING OF THE BOLTS. The company, Sicma declines any liability for any damage to property or injury caused by the shredder where the user has not complied with these safety requirements.
