3.2Safety Rules Concerning the Hydraulic System

This shredder uses the hydraulic circuit of the tractor to carry out side movements and to adjust the flail head; the pressure of such system must not exceed 190 BAR.

Mark the different pipes to avoid reversal of operation.

IMPORTANT: Do not look for oil leaks with bare hands, but always while wearing gloves or with a cloth. Oil under strong pressure may seep into the skin causing serious infections. In this case contact a doctor immediately.

Periodically check the flexible hoses; if they are worn or damaged they must be replaced with others of the same specification.

Before working on the hyudraulic system, lower the machine, take pressure out and stop the tractor.

Used oils and greases must be stored and disposed of according to anitpollution rules.

3.3Safety Rules Concerning Road Traffic

In transport, reduce speed, especially on bumpy roads. The weight of the shredder may render driving difficult and damage the shredder itself.

Check that the levers which operate the hydraulic lift are locked to avoid the lowering of the machine during transport.

When driving on public roads, respect all road rules in force. Never transport the shredder with the rotor moving, even for short distances.

Lock the shredder with the appropriate chain.

3.4Safety Rules During Use

Pay special attention, when working with the machine, not to touch fixed objects such as road drains, wells, shafts, curbs, guard rails, tracks, etc. This could cause the breakage of the flails, which can be thrown at very high speed.

If wires, ropes or chains should get entangled in the rotor, stop immediately to prevent damage or a dangerous situation; stop the rotor and the tractor, take out the ignition key.

Put working gloves on, clear the rotor with the aid of pliers or shears. Do not try to disentangle by inverting the rotational direction of the rotor.

Do not use the machine when there is vibration in the flail head, as this could cause breakage and serious damage. Find the cause of the vibration and repair it.

Do not operate with the arm extended if the tractor is on a sloping ground.
