WARNING!
• During operation, persons or animals should not get closer than 40 meters from the machine!
• Therefore, stay far away from the rear mobile chamber of the machine which expels the bales, thus creating a dangerous
situation.
• Driver seat noise level: Leq. = 79,5 dBA. It is recommended to use protective earphones when using the tractor without a
sound-proof cab (only if the noise exceeds about 85 dBA).
• When the machine is not working, it must be fitted the supplemental support foot, if the machine is left on soft ground
(see safety labels pag.5).
• The machine described in this use and maintenance handbook should be repaired or disassembled, only by
manufacturer authorized workshops.
POWER TAKEOFF
WARNING!
• Only EC marked universal joints can be used with the machine and the user must follow the instructions contained in the
"use and maintenance" handbook issued by the universal joint manufacturer.
• The protection bar and the universal joint protection hopper, as well as the power takeoff guard must be installed in the
proper position.
• The cardan shaft can be mounted and removed only if the power takeoff is disconnected, the motor is off and only if the
ignition keys are not inserted in the instrument panel.
• Make sure that the cardan shaft is installed properly and correctly install the protection bar and the relative protection
hopper.
• Before engaging the PTO, check that the rpm of the machine is the same as that of the tractor PTO (540 rpm) and that
the direction of rotation of the PTO is counter-clockwise. Make sure that there is nobody in the danger zone surrounding
the machine
• It is prohibited to insert the power takeoff when the motor is on.
• During work operations with the power takeoff it is prohibited to remain in the vicinity of the cardan shaft or the power
takeoff and the power takeoff must be disconnected if the angles are too high.
• Even when the P.T.O. is disconnected, do not get close to it.
• To clean, lubricate or perform any maintenance, always turn off the engine, disconnect the P.T.O. and remove the keys
from the ignition.
• With the P.T.O. disconnected, the universal joint must be held by the special support so as not to strike the ground and
be damaged or soiled.
• It is always necessary to block the universal joint when not in use, hooking it onto its chain C (Fig. 1/a).
• The P.T.O. protection hood on the tractor must always overlap the universal joint protection hood by at least 50 mm.
