condition.
3 - Ensure that the tubes of the universal drive
shafts are properly guarded, both in the working
position and in the transport position.
4 - Before connecting or disconnecting a universal
joint drive shaft, disengage the power take-off,
switch off the engine and remove the key from the
tractor ignition.
5 - If the primary universal drive shaft is fitted with
a torque limiter or a free wheel, these must be
mounted on the machine power take-off.
6 - Always ensure that universal drive shafts are
fitted and locked correctly.
7 - Always ensure that universal drive shaft guards
are immobilized in rotation using the specially
provided chains.
8 - Before engaging power take-off, ensure that
the speed selected and the direction of rotation of
the power take-off comply with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
9 - Before engaging power take-off, ensure that
no persons or animals are close to the machine.
10 - Never engage the power take-off when the
tractor engine is switched off.
11 - Disengage power take-off when the universal
drive shaft angle limits laid down by the
manufacturer are in danger of being exceeded.
12 - Caution! W hen power take-off has been
disengaged, moving parts may continue to rotate
for a few moments. Do not approach until they
have reached a complete standstill.
13 - On removal from the machine, rest the
universal drive shafts on the specially provided
supports.
14 - After disconnecting the universal drive shafts
from the power take-off, the protective cap should
be fitted to the power take-off.
15 - Damaged power take-off and universal drive
shaft guards must be replaced immediately.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
1 - Caution! T he hydraulic circuit is pressurized.
2 - W hen fitting hydraulic motors or cylinders,
ensure that the circuits are connected correctly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
3 - Before fitting a hose to the tractor’s hydraulic
circuit, ensure that the tractor-side and machine-
side circuits are not pressurized.
4 - T he user of the machine is strongly
recommended to identify the hydraulic couplings
between the tractor and the machine in order to
avoid wrong connection. Caution! There is a
danger of reversing the functions (for example:
raise/lower).
5 - Check the condition of the hydraulic hoses
once every year.
- Damage to outer layer.
- Pitting on the outer layer.
- Shape loss with or without pressure.
- Condition of connectors and seals.
Damaged or worn hoses must be replaced
immediately.
The maximum working life for hoses is 6 years.
When replacing them, ensure that only hoses with
the specifications and grade recommended by the
machine manufacturer are used.
6 - W hen a leak is found, all necessary
precautions should be taken to avoid accidents.
7 - Beware of burns to hands when changing the
gears in the gearbox (when this is necessary).
Pressurized liquid, particularly hydraulic circuit oil,
may cause serious injury if it comes into contact
with the skin. If the case of injury, consult a
doctor immediately. There is a risk of infection.
8 - Before carrying out any work on the hydraulic
system, lower the machine, release the pressure
from the system, switch the engine off and
remove the key from the ignition.
MAINTENANCE
1 - It is essential before carrying out any servicing,
maintenance or repair work, or when checking for
the source of a breakdown or malfunction (also
when clearing plant debris or removing stones),
that the power take-off be disengaged, the engine
switched off and the keys taken out of the ignition.
2 - Check regularly that nuts and screws are not
loose. Tighten if necessary.
3 - Before carrying out maintenance work on a
raised machine, prop it up using appropriate
means of support.
4 - W hen replacing a working part wear protective
gloves and only use appropriate
tools.(legs/coulters)
5 - T o protect the environment, it is forbidden to
throw away oil, grease or filters of any kind. Give
them to specialist recycling firms.
6 - Before operating on the electric circuit,
disconnect the power source.
7 - Protective devices likely to be exposed to wear
and tear should be checked regularly. Replace
them immediately if they are damaged.
8 - Spare parts should comply with the standards
and specifications laid down by the manufacturer.
Only use Sulky spare parts.
9 - Before commencing any electric welding work
on the tractor or the towed machine, disconnect
the alternator and battery cables.
10 - Repairs affecting parts under stress or
pressure (springs, pressure accumulators, etc.)
should be carried out by suitably qualified
engineers with special tools.
