Safety Risk of being caught by a rotating part of the machine (PTO shaft, for example). Risk of projection of stones and other materials. Keep a safe dis- tance from this part of the machine. Risk of foot being severed by a rotating cutting implement. Keep a safe distance from this part of the machine.
Safety Safety regulations General Before starting up, check that the machine is not endangering any persons and that the protection and safety devices (e.g. guards, recommendations hoods, warning labels, etc.) are in place and functional. Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all the parts, controls and functions of your machine.

Safety Transportation Respect the highway code when travelling on public roads. When cornering, beware of machine offset and weight transfer. Adapt your speed. In transit, secure the lower lifting arms to prevent them from swing- ing out. The machine must not be moved outside the field or near people until the fold-away extensions or the fold-away or tipping accesso- ries (if any) have been locked in the transport position.
Page 9
Safety Nobody must enter the range of movement of the folding exten- sions or folding or tilting accessories (if present) if they have not been locked by the system provided for that purpose. This system can be a chain, pin, rigid rod or a controlled double valve. Before starting up, make sure that the surrounding area is clear (no children in the vicinity, etc.).

Safety Maintenance No intervention must be made within the radius of the tractor - tool unit without the brakes or vehicle immobilisation system being en- gaged. When changing parts on the machine, you are advised to be careful with all parts with sharp edges or corners. We recommend that you wear safety equipment (helmets, safety shoes, gloves...).

Braking system The machine may be equipped with a compressed air or hydraulic Braking system braking system. Hydraulic braking systems are not authorised in all countries. The two braking systems are equipped with a hand brake. Do not drive on the road Due to the lack of braking power of the machine, it is forbidden to drive on the road if the brakes are not in proper working order.
Braking system Hydraulic braking The machine's hydraulic braking system is equipped with a special hydraulic connection. The hitch-up is only adapted to tractors de- system signed for the hydraulic braking system. This is why the machine must always be transported on a tractor with a suitable braking system.
Braking system Two-channel The compressed air braking system of the machine is equipped with two conduits. compressed air During transportation, the machine must always be hitched up to a braking system tractor that has a suitable compressed air braking system. Connect the compressed air braking system to the tractor with two hoses.
Transportation Transportation Safety Prior to transporting the machine on the road, you must carefully read the following safety instructions. Compliance with these in- structions is important and helps you avoid accidents. In general Ensure compliance with regulations regarding road traffic. If you drive on public roads with your machine, it must comply with the regulations currently in force.

Settings Overlapping the discs The new machine is adjusted so that the entire surface of the soil is cut and mixed across the complete width. This ideal overlapping is preserved, even when the discs are worn. > Measure the diameter of the discs and refer to the table for the po- sition (see white decal).
Settings Adjustment of accessories Lateral deflectors > Remove the spindle A and pin > Slide the assembly on the tube to adjust the distance between the metal panel and the path of the flow of soil. > Place the spindle A and pin in one of the three positions The height of the deflector (low stop) can be adjusted according to the working depth using the spindle B.

Settings Hectare counter The kilometric counter measures the distance covered by the ma- chine during working. You must take into account only the black figures. To obtain the worked surface in hectares, you must multiply the black figure by the coefficient which is based on the working width of the machine and the diameter of the discs.

Cleaning, maintenance and storage Cleaning, maintenance and storage Cleaning Use a high-pressure cleaner to clean the machine. Use low pres- sure to clean the bearings. When cleaning the bearings, place the jet at some distance to prevent damage to the seals and roller bearings. Maintenance At the end of the season, we recommend applying a protective coating of oil to the machine in order to ensure a long service life.
Maintenance Maintenance For your safety Special safety in- Conditions required for maintenance work Carry out maintenance work only if you have the necessary knowl- structions edge and if you have appropriate tooling. A lack of knowledge or in- appropriate tools may lead to accidents. Use original spare parts Use only original spare parts for components related to safety.
Maintenance General remarks These remarks are related to common maintenance work. For all maintenance work, the machine should be unfolded and blocked in operating position. If the transport position is required for all the maintenance work, refer to the maintenance instructions and con- sult the remark pertaining to it.
Maintenance Lubricating For all greasing operations, the machine must be in the park po- sition with the tines on the ground to avoid any risk of crushing. The pictogram opposite is placed next to the greasing points on the apparatus. Most of the machine's articulations use wear rings.
