Introduction This operator's manual helps on the assembly process and provides the necessary information for the correct operation and maintenance, thus assuring a higher yield, safety and durability. This manual contains the necessary information for the best performance of your equipment. The operator and the maintenance staff must carefully read the entire manual before working with the equipment.
1. To the owner The acquisition of any Tatu product assures to the original purchaser the following rights: - Warranty certificate; - Operator's manual; - Technical assistance by the dealer on equipment delivery. However, the owner must check the condition of the equipment on delivery, as well as knowing the warranty terms.
2. To the operator Be careful with the environment Dear operator! Respect the ecology. Do not throw trash away. This gesture of goodwill helps to protect our environment. Products such as oil, fuel, filters, batteries and others are spilt over the soil and can penetrate to the underground layers, compromising nature.

9. Maintenance Hydraulic safety Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condition and are clean. Carry out the maintenance of the hydraulic parts on a clean place, free from dust or contaminants. Otherwise, there may have malfunction or premature wear on the equipment.
9. Maintenance Tires inflation The tires must always be properly inflated to avoid premature wear for excess or lack of pressure. Do not attempt to mount the tires without experience and adequate equipment. Maintain the correct tire pressure. Never inflate the tires beyond the recommended pressure.
