12
3.0 USE INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 TRANSPORT
If it becomes necessary to transport the machine for a long distance, it can be loaded onto a railway wagon or a
truck. For this purpose, consult «Technical Features» for weight and specific dimensions. The latter are very useful
to check the possibility of driving along all types of roads.

CAUTION
Before proceeding to the hoisting operations, make sure that any mobile elements of the machine (wheels,
3rd point hitch...) are blocked.
Make sure to use a crane with an adequate hoisting capacity to lift the machine.
Hoist the machine with extreme caution and transfer it slowly, without jerks or abrupt movements.

DANGER
The operations of hoisting and transport can be very dangerous if not carried out with the maximum
caution; persons not directly involved should be moved away. Clean, evacuate the area and delimit the
transfer zone.
Check the state, condition and suitability of the means at disposition.
Do not touch suspended loads, keeping them at a safe distance.
During transport, the loads should not be raised more than 35 cm. from the ground.
It must be further ascertained that the operational area is free of obstacles and that there is sufficient
«escape space», meaning an area which is free and secure into which one could move rapidly in case a
load should fall.
The surface on which the machine is to be loaded must be horizontal in order to prevent possible shifting.

Once the machine is positioned on the vehicle, make sure that it remains blocked in its position.
Fasten the machine on the platform of the vehicle by means of cables suitable for the mass which must be blocked
(see «Technical Features» for the weight).
The cables must be firmly fastened to the machine and pulled tight to the anchorage point on the platform.
Once transport has been carried out and before freeing the machine from all its fastenings, make sure that its state
and position are such as not to constitute danger.
Remove the cables and proceed to unloading with the same means and methods used for loading.

Transit and transporting on the public highways

When driving on the public roads, fit on the rear reflector triangles, side lights and flashing beacon and always make
sure that you comply with the Highway Code and any other applicable regulations.

ATTENTION
Before driving on to the public roads with the machine hitched to the tractor, make sure that the devices
listed above and/or the slow vehicle signal and/or the projecting load signal operate correctly.
These indicators must be affixed to the rear of the implement in a position where they can be clearly seen by
any other vehicle that drives up behind.

 3.0 USE INSTRUCTIONS
3.5 WORK DEPTH
Machine work depth is regulated on the basis of the different possible configurations by the position of the following
devices:
- Side Adjuster Skids.
- Position Lever on Tractor.

DANGER
Turn the adjustment handle only when the tractor is at a standstill and with the power take-off
disconnected.
Do not carry out this adjustment by operating from the tractor.
Machine with skids
To adjust working depth on this type of machine you must loosen the adjustment screw (Fig. 15) and raise or lower
the skid the desired amount. Then re-tighten the screw.
Both the skids should be assembled in the same hole.
Both skids should be subjected to this operation which will vary according to the type of soil.

Fig. 15

3.6 SIDE TRANSMISSION

The side drive is by a heavy duty roller chain which can be adjusted manually to compensate for wear. The
sprocker run on bearing which operate in an oil bath and so adequate lubrication is essential and should be checked
regularly.

To Tension the Chain :

Hold the adjusting screw A and slaken locknut B.
Hold the locknut steady and adjust the screw.
Hold the adjusting screw steady and tighten the locknut.

Fig. 16

18
3.0 USE INSTRUCTIONS
3.7 HOE BLADES
The hoe blades with which the machine is equipped can work soils of normal conformation.
Check the degree of wear and condition of the hoe blades each day.
If the blades should accidentally bend (or break) during work, they must be immediately replaced.
Remember to mount the new hoe blade in exactly the same position as the old one (Fig. 17).
If several hoe blades must be replaced, it is advisable to remove and assemble one hoe blade at a time in order to
prevent positioning errors.
The steerage hoes are normally equipped with 4 blades per flange.

Fig. 17

The heads of the bolts fixing the hoe blades in place must be on the side of the hoe blades themselves, while
the nut with relative washer must be on the flange side (Fig. 17).
Apply the tightening torques as listed in the Chart on page 17.
If the hoe blades must be changed, remember to set the new blades in the same positions as the demounted ones
(Fig. 17).

3.8 IN WORK
Start work with the PTO at running rate, gradually lowering the machine into the soil.
Never excessively press down on the accelerator pedal when the PTO is engaged.
This could be very harmful for both the machine and the tractor itself.
When choosing how much to break up the soil which is to be rotary hoed the following points must be considered:
- the type of soil (mixed, sandy, clay etc.);
- how deep to hoe;
- the forward moving speed of the tractor;
- the optimal position of the machine.
The earth is best broken up and machine with a slow forward moving speed of the tractor, with the leveling plate
lowered and a blade-carrying rotor rotation speed of about 203 (PTO 1) & 292 (PTO 2).
As well as holding the earth that has already been hoed by the hoe blades the leveling plate helps to produce a
well leveled and smooth surface after hoeing. If the leveling plate is raised the sods are no longer broken up and
there will not be a smooth, level finish.

3.9 HOW IT WORKS

Position the leveling plate according to how finely broken up the soil should be.
Position the depth of the two skids which are on the sides of the machine
Engage the PTO and start to move the tractor forward gradually lowering the machine.

19
 3.0 USE INSTRUCTIONS
After a short distance check to see whether the earth is being hoed to the depth required, broken up finely
enough and leveled enough.

CAUTION
In order to prevent breakages or damage, Operate the Tractor at safe and optimum speed. (Fig. 18).

Fig. 18

CAUTION
Never allow the machine to operate out of the soil.
During work, avoid turning corners while the implement is soil working. Never work in reverse (Fig. 20).
Always raise the implement in order to reverse or change direction.

Fig. 19 Fig. 20

20
3.0 USE INSTRUCTIONS
During transport, or whenever the implement must be raised, it is advisable to adjust the lift unit of the
tractor so that the implement itself is not raised more than about 35 cm from the ground (Fig. 21).

Fig. 21

Do not drive on public highways if the machine is dirty with soil, grass or anything else that could dirty
and/or hamper the road traffic.
Lower the machine slowly to allow the blades to gradually penetrate the soil. Do not allow it to drop violently on to the
ground.
To do this would strongly stress all the machine components and could damage them.

DANGER
Stones or other sharp objects may be thrown up by the turning tines during the soil working phase.
Always constantly check that there are no persons, children or domestic animals in the field of action of the
machine. The operator must also pay attention to the above.

3.10 PARKING

WARNING
Compile with the following instructions in order to ensure that the implement remains stable when released from the
tractor:
1) Position the support foot as shown in the Figure 22.

Fig. 22 Fig. 23

21
 3.0 USE INSTRUCTIONS
2) Besides supporting the leveling plate and acting as a shock absorber for it during road transport, the spring ram
(Fig. 23) prevents the steerage hoe from overturning when parking.

Other problems
The machine does not hoe to the same depth over the whole width e.g. if it hoes too deeply on the right side shorten
the right arm of the lift bars and regulate the position of the right-hand skid.

Working a hill/slope
Where possible always try to «work up» the slope. If this is not possible avoid hoeing along the contours of the hill
and hoe up and down the slope to avoid a terracing effect.

Practical notes
The hoed earth should be on the right of the driver.
The best system is to hoe alternate strips.

22
4.0 MAINTENANCE
The various routine servicing operations required are listed below along with a Maintenance table (which should be
complied with) that briefly illustrates the operations, points and inspection frequencies.
Lower running costs and longer machine life depend on constant and methodical compliance with these
operations.

CAUTION
All operations must be carried out by expert personnel, wearing the proper safety clothing in a clean, not
dusty environment.
All maintenance operations must be strictly carried out with the implement coupled to the tractor, hand
brake engaged, engine off, ignition key removed, and implement lying firmly on the floor.
- Before injecting grease into the lubricators, the greasing points must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent
mud, dust or foreign bodies from mixing with the lubricant, thus reducing or even annulling its
lubricating effect.
- When topping up or changing the lubricant, always ensure that the oil is of the same type as that used
previously.

WARNING
Always keep oils and greases well away from children's reach.
Always thoroughly read the warnings and precautions indicated on the containers. Avoid contact with the
skin.
Always thoroughly and fully wash hands after use.
The utilized oils should be treated in compliance with the current anti-pollution laws.

4.1 FIRST 8 HOURS

SERVICE
- Carefully check the general condition of the machine after the first 8 hours service.
- In particular, you are advised to fully tighten all the screws and bolts on the machine after having checked the
hoe blades for wear.

4.2 EVERY 8 WORK HOURS

- Grease the cardan shaft cross journals.
- Check that the bolts fixing the hoe blades are well tightened.

4.3 EVERY 50 WORK HOURS

- Check the level of the oil in the gearbox and side transmission unit and top up to the level mark on the rod as
necessary (Fig. 28).

4.4 EVERY 200 WORK HOURS

- Change the oil in the gearbox and side transmission casing by completely draining off the old oil through the
drain plug (4 Fig. 28).

23
 4.0 MAINTENANCE
4.5 STORAGE
Proceed in the following way at the end of the season or if the harrow is to remain unused for a long period of time:
- Wash the machine and dry it.
- Carefully check the implement and replace any damaged or worn parts.
- Fully clamp all screws and bolts, particularly the ones that fix the tines.
- Thoroughly grease the implement and protect it with a plastic sheet. Store it in a dry place.
It is advisable to proceed with the following inspections before the machine is set at work again:
- Check the oil levels in the gearbox and transmission unit.
Top up if necessary.
- Check the greasing points and add grease if required.
- Check all bolts and tighten them if necessary.
Careful compliance with these instructions will be all to the advantage of the user who will be sure to use an
implement in perfect conditions when work begins again.

The laws of the country where the machine is used, and particularly anti-pollution laws, must be observed if
the machine should be scrapped.

Remember that the Manufacturer is always at your disposal for any assistance or spare parts as may be
required.
