SAFETY INFORMATION The lack of observation of rules or basic precaution could cause accidents during use, maintenance or repair of the machine. An accident can often be avoided by recognising potentially dangerous situations before they happen. The operator should be vigilant for possible dangers and possess the training, competence and tools necessary to execute these duties correctly. Inappropriate use of this machine during its functioning or the lack of maintenance can prove damaging and cause serious accidents. Never function the machine or do any maintenance on it without having read and understood the instructions. Safety precautions and warning are indicated in this manual and on the machine itself. If attention is not paid to these messages of danger, the operator may incur an accident with grave consequences for him of herself and for other people. Safety messages are highlighted with the following symbols:

Warning!
These message, if not heeded could case danger to the operator.

Beware
These message, if not heeded could cause damage to the machine.

The OMARV S.R.L. cannot foresee every possible circumstance capable of constituting a potential danger. The warnings in this publication and on the product are however, not exhaustive. If it should happen that tools, procedures, work practices or technical workers nor explicitly recommended by the OMARV S.R.L. it will be necessary to ensure that there are no danger for oneself or others. Information, specifications, illustrations given in this publication are provided by the manufacturer at the time of writing. Information, specification, illustrations can vary at any time and the modifications occurred can effect the necessary maintenance.

Use only original parts OMARV S.R.L. declines all responsibility if non original parts are used.

SAFETY PRECAUTION S

Warning! The following instructions cannot completely safeguard anyone operating the machine from all dangers that might occur. They should be combined with common sense and experience, which are totally indispensable measures for the prevention of accidents.
The operator must ensure that the machine is always maintained clean from any extraneous materials, debris, tools, oil etc. The machine should be cleaned after each use. During this operation the machine should be stopped and in a stable position with the ignition keys of the tractor taken out so as to prevent any possibility of anyone causing it to move. When compressed air or water is used for cleaning purposes protective goggles and mask must be worn and other person or animals must be kept well away from the vicinity of the machine. Do not use flammable liquids. At the end of the cleaning session a check should be made for wear and tear, damaged or badly fixed parts. Check the state of wear on flexible tubing. The manual should always be at hand so that it may be consulted to check the correct operative cycle every time a doubt may arise. If this manual is lost or damaged, you will need to ask OMARV S.R.L. for a replacement copy. Structural damage, improper modifications, alterations or repairs can change the capacity of production of the machine, thereby cancelling this certification. Any modification should be made exclusively by technicians of the OMARV S.R.L. or the authorised sales network. This machine is usually fitted on the rear of the tractor. It will therefore be necessary to add extra weight to the front of the tractor to prevent the risk of tipping over.

12

Always drive slowly especially on irregular ground to prevent loss of balance. On turning take sufficient care bearing in mind the load and movement of the machine on the axle of the tractor. Ensure that the guards of the power drive are in place and provide for spares in case of damage. Never transport the machine with the rotor blade in motion. These machines may, in certain conditions, throw shredded material and other object gathered from the ground for great distances, which can cause serious injury or even death to anyone in the projectile path of the machine. It will therefore be necessary to block the shredding operation if there are people around either moving or static within 100 meters of the machine. When the height of the vegetation to be mown prevents the visibility of foreign objects, the mowing should first be made at intermediate height in order to allow for an inspection of the ground and the removal of foreign object allowing for a further cut at the desired height. This pre-emptive action will, moreover, notably reduce wear and tear on the machine. Avoid the blades coming into contact with bulky objects. Do not climb onto the tractor or the machine while they moving. Avoid contract with tyres while they are in motion. Climb on or off the tractor only when it is completely still and the ignition key is taken out. On no account should anyone climb onto the machine itself. Do not use the machine if there is an oil leak present. Do not search out a leak with bare hands. Use protective gloves and a piece of material or cardboard. Oil under pressure can penetrate under the skin and cause gangrene. In the event of this happening seek urgent specialist medical attention. Carefully read and respect the manufacturers instructions when using oil, solvent, detergents or other chemical substances.

13

Checks to be carried out on the tractor

Ensure that the drive shaft is fitted correctly both on the power drive of the tractor and on the universal shaft of the machine. Check that the universal shaft is exposed for at last 1/3 third of the thread in its most extended position. Ensure that the guards are in perfect order, that they can be moved freely and that the fixing chains are not under strain when the machine is fully raised or lowered. Check that in the position of continuous working, universal shaft does not make an angle greater than 20 against the alignment of the power drive of the tractor. Ensure that the drive shaft does not touch the guard of the power drive of the tractor, the guards of the transmission shafts or other parts of the machine. No operation regarding the drive shaft or the power drive should be made with the tractor motor running. The ignition key should be taken out and shaft of the power drive should be in the off position. As soon as the shredding operation is finished the drive shaft must be disengaged from the power drive of the tractor and returned to the support supplied for it. During use, maintenance, repairs, on the road, or during delivery of the machine the operator must wear safety footwear, safety gloves, safety helmet and safety goggles for protection from falling objects or materials projected from the normal working of the machine. The operators clothes should be as close fitting as possible. Never use wide or floppy clothing. Never allow inexperienced or untrained person to use the machine. All use of the machine must be carried out slowly to avoid carelessness that might create space that is free from any obstacles. Negligence or lack of attention could endanger your safety. Objects such as ropes, wire, cables, chains etc can hook onto the rotating elements of the cutting mechanism and be thrown out at high speed causing very dangerous situations for the safety of the
14

operator. You should avoid the blades coming into contact with such object. If wire or similar materials become wrapped around the rotor try to free up the rotor (wearing safety gloves) with the help of shears. Do not try to carry out the job by inverting the direction of rotation. Take great care during shredding on sloping ground. The machine could sway and make the tractor lose its balance, causing serious injury or death to the operator. If this should happen do not remain in the vicinity and do not allow anyone to remain in the rotation or oscillation zone of the machine. Check that there is nobody in the oscillation area of the machine before starting to rotor or the potential enacting of hydraulic displacement. Do not allow anybody to climb onto the tractor or onto the machine. Do not carry out any operation if there is anyone nearby or on the machine. Do not allow anyone to come near especially not children. Check the machine periodically inspecting the bolts in general, worn or broken parts, pinched or broken cables loose connections or connections with too much play. Ensure that all the joint pins are adequately blocked. Always keep the machine scrupulously clean and free form foreign objects. Clean immediately, any stains of oil or any other inflammable material, to avoid danger of fire. Serious injury can be caused by neglecting maintenance. Do not continue to use the machine if a cutter is lost or so badly worn as to cause vibration. Consult the relevant section of the manual for instruction on replacement procedures. Always replacement both the worn blade and the one opposite to it at the same time. Always select the rotor stop position before unthreading the drive shaft from a power drive on a tractor or a completely independent power drive. Make a daily check on nuts, bolts, flexible and other fixture system. Checking for potential defect, alignment, or breakage that may prejudice the safety of the machine. If you do find any such problem you should immediately take measures to make repairs or replacements.

15

Any maintenance, repair or checking operation must be carried out with the machine completely still and isolated from the power drive of the tractor. The ignition key must be taken out. Always position the machine on points or blocks when such procedures are carried out in order to prevent any potential lowering or raising of the tractor.

STICKERS SAFETY ADVICE STICKERS

PTO SHAFT JOINT (DRIVE) ASSEMBLY

Check that the PTO shaft does not make contact with the guards at the shortest point (in general horizontal PTO shaft parallel to the PTO exit Fig. 4-) If it does, reduce the tubes by the same length (cut, clean, grease)-Fig.5 form A to DIt is essential that a general check be made in the event of modification of the length of the third point or in the event of tractor substitution

CAUTION! These operations must be undertaken slowly and with the greatest of care in compliance with the safety regulations laid down in this manual.

21

REGULATION OF THE HAULM SHREDDER HEIGHT

The machine must operate in horizontal, positioned on the roller or on the rear wheels and supported by the three point attachment of the tractor The eventual slides must be regulated at a few cm from the ground Do not raise the machine more than 30cm from the ground in order to avoid dangerous bumps (progressive ondulating movement of the PTO shaft Fig.6-)

CAUTION! These operations must be undertaken slowly with the greatest care in compliance with the safety regulations laid down in this manual.

22

WORKING HEIGHT This is determined by the height of the roller or the rear wheels and by the lower hoist arms of the tractor.

The haulm shredder must remain horizontal.

The cutters must not be in contact with the ground. It is advisable not to go down lower that 3cm from the ground. When the optimum field cutting height is established, regulate the height of the slides, if they are included, to 1cm lower than the cutters in order to avoid that they come into contact with the ground.

CAUTION! These operations must be undertaken slowly with the greatest care in compliance with the safety regulations laid down in this manual.
