Page 10
Connection of the machine to the tractor: • The third point hitch of the tractor and the fertilizer spreader must coincide or must be adapted. • Make sure that the PTO shaft is engaged correctly after every linkage operation of the machine and that it does not come uncoupled when the machine is lowered in order to fill the hopper up.
Page 11
ATTENTION! Anybody who comes up to the machine in a danger area, therefore he becomes “AN EXPOSED PERSON”. The operator must prevent anybody to come into the danger area and to work with the maximum caution. If somebody comes up, please stop immediately the tractor engine.

5.1. ADJUSTMENTS It is not possible to have an exact spreading chart for equipments that make use of the centrifugal principle, given that the distributed quantity depends on the feed speed, on the radius of distribution, on the quality and humidity of the fertilizer and on the roughness of the land. The fertilizer must always be stored and conserved adequately, so as to keep its physical characteristics unchanged.
5.3. SPREAD PATTERN The fertilizer spreading is regulated through the regulation lever that moves the opening section on the bottom of the hopper. In order to carry out the regulation, after having consulted the spreading table, according to the type of product to spread and to the spreader speed, it is necessary to move the lever “A”...
5.4. HOPPER LOAD It is advised not to carry out the hopper loading manually but using a lifter or suitable mechanical means ATTENTION! The hopper must be loaded only after having hitched the spreader to the tractor. Do not drive for very long distances with a full load and do not put full bags on the fertiliser loaded in the hopper during the transport to the field or during the working, in order not to overload the capacity of the machine and to compress the fertilizer WARNING!

5.5. FULL WIDTH SPREADING ATTENTION! - WARNING! The operator, during the period of use, maintenance, repair, transport or storing of the machine, must wear accident- prevention shoes and gloves of security. If it is necessary, he will have, moreover, to wear headset, mask and glasses.
