During Work; Transport On Road - Gaspardo HL Series Use And Maintenance

Safety measures concerning the hydraulics:
- At the moment of connecting the hydraulic tubes to the
hydraulic system of the tractor, make sure that the hydraulic
systems of the operating machine and the tractor are not
under pressure.
- For the operative hydraulic connections between tractor
and operating machine, the sockets and plugs should be
marked with colours to distinguish them, to avoid them
being used wrongly. There would be a danger of accident if
the connections were to be swapped round.
- The hydraulic system is under high pressure; because of
the accident risk, when searching for leakage points special
auxiliary instruments should be used.
- Not to never carry out the search losses with the fi ngers or
the hands. The liquids that exit from the holes can be nearly
not visible.
- During transport by road the hydraulic connections between
tractor and operating machine should be disconnected and
secured to the support provided.
- Do not use vegetable oils under any circumstance. These
could cause a risk of damage to the cylinder gaskets.
- The operating pressures of the hydraulic system should be
between 100 bars and 180 bars.
- Never exceed the indicated hydraulic system pressure le-
vels.
- Check that the quick hook-ups are coupled correctly; parts
of the system could get damaged if they are not.
- Oil escaping at high pressure can cause skin injury with the
risk of serious wounds and infection. Call a doctor immedia-
tely if such an incident occurs. If the oil with surgical means
is not removed quickly, can take place serious allergies and/
or infections. Therefore, the installation of hydraulic compo-
nents in the tractor driver's cab is strictly forbidden. All the
components of the system should be positioned carefully
to avoid parts being damage during use of the equipment.
- In case of participation on the hydraulic system, to unload
the hydraulic pressure carrying all the hydraulic commandos
in all the positions some times after to have extinguished
the motor.
Check that the rapid-action connections of the hydraulic system
are connected correctly, as otherwise damage may be caused to
the components of the system.
Escape of oil at high pressure may cause wounds to the skin with
risk of serious injury and infection. If this should happen, consult
a doctor immediately. It is therefore absolutely forbidden to install
hydraulic components in the tractor cabin.
All components forming part of the system should be carefully
positioned to avoid damage being caused during the use of the
equipment.
During transport and work phases, the side frames must
always be locked in place using the safety pins provided (1,
Fig. 29). Remember to unhook them before activating the
hydraulic system.

USE AND MAINTENANCE

3.12 DURING WORK

- The shape, dimensions and material of the drive shaft ela-
stic pins have been selected for reasons of safety. The use
of non-original or more resistant pins could cause serious
damage to the hoeing machine.
- Start the power take-off gradually; sudden move-ments are
harmful to the aspirator belt.
- Avoid curves with the machine grounded, and do not work
in reverse . Always lift it when changing direction or rever-
sing.
- Do not work with the power take-off synchronized with the
wheels.
- Do not exceed the number of revolutions per minute indi-
cated on the power-take-off.
- Maintain e seeding speed compatible with type and cultiva-
tion of the soil in order to avoid breakages or damage.
- Before travelling over long distances, discharge the hoeing
machine hoppers to avoid clogging the distributors due to
product compacting.
The hoeing machine can transport chemical substances.
Do not allow children, people, pets to come near the equip-
ment.
Do not place any bags of fertilizer or any other object on the
fertilizer distributor container covers to avoid breaking them
or endangering property or persons. Load from the outer
sides of the machine.
It is forbidden to come near the containers of the chemical
substances or to open them when the hoeing machine is
operating or about to operate.

3.13 TRANSPORT ON ROAD

When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the highway code
of the country involved.
The tractor used for transporting the equipment must have the
powers shown in the Technical Data table; if necessary, redistribute
the total weights with the addition of ballasts to return balance and
stability to the whole assembly (page 33, cap. 3.2).
For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment must
be placed in the transportation position:
- Lift the row-crop cultivators to the transporting position.
- Where provided for, make all the moving parts come within the
transport width, locking them with the safety devices.
- Road movements must be performed with all tanks empty.
- Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs
and guards.
- Adapt speed and type of driving to the quality of the roadbed or
land you are travelling on.
The Manufacturer can deliver clearance signalling supports and
tables.
