DRIVE EQUIPMENT
(Power take-off and universal drive shafts)
1 - Only use universal drive shafts supplied with
the machine or recommended by the
manufacturer.
2 - Power take-off and universal drive shaft
guards must always be fitted and in good
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
drive shaft, disengage the power take-off, turn off
the engine and re-move the key from the 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 - Disengage power take-off when the universal
drive shaft angle limits laid down by the
manufacturer are in danger of being exceeded.
11 - Caution! When 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.
12 - On removal from the machine, rest the
universal drive shafts on the specially provided
supports.
13 - After disconnecting the universal drive shafts
from the power take-off, the protective cap should
be fitted to the power take-off.
14 - Damaged power take-off and universal drive
shaft guards must be replaced immediately.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
1 - Caution! The hydraulic circuit is pressurized.
2 - When 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 - The 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 hydraulic hoses once a year:
. Damage to the outer surface
. Porosity of the outer surface
. Deformation with and without pressure
. State of the fittings and seals
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 - When a leak is found, all necessary
precautions should be taken to avoid accidents.
7 - 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 any operation on the hydraulic circuit,
lower the machine, release the pressure from the
circuit, turn off the engine and remove the key
from the ignition.
MAINTENANCE
1 - Before commencing any maintenance,
servicing or repair work, or before attempting to
locate the source of a breakdown or fault, it is
essential that the power take-off is disengaged,
the engine turned off and the key removed from
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 - When replacing a working part (fertilizer
spreader blade or seed drill coulter), wear
protective gloves and only use appropriate tools.
5 - To 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.
