3.2 STABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT IN ROAD
TRAFFIC
When an equipment is hitched to a tractor, so becoming an
integral part of it for the purposes of road travel, the stability of
the equipment-tractor complex may change and cause driving or
operating difficulties (rearing up or side-slipping of the tractor).
The condition of equilibrium can be restored by placing a sufficient
number of ballasts on the front of the tractor so that the weights on
the two tractor axles are distributed sufficiently and evenly.
To work in safety, the instructions given in the highway code should
be followed; these prescribe that at least 20% of the weight of
the tractor alone should be borne by the front axle and that the
weight on the arms of the hoist should not be more than 30% of
the weight of the tractor itself. These factors are summarized in
the following formulas:
((M x (s1 + s2)-(0,2 x T x i))
Z>
The symbols have the following meanings:
(please see Fig. 10 for reference)
M (Kg) Mass weighing on arms off hoist with full load (weight +
mass, see cap. 1.3 Identification).
T (Kg) Mass of tractor.
Z (Kg) Total mass of ballast.
i (m) Tractor wheelbase, that is, the horizontal distance between
the tractor axles.
d (m) Horizontal distance between the centre of gravity of the
ballast and the front axle of the tractor.
s1 (m) Horizontal distance between the inferior point of attachment
of the equipment and the posterior axle of the tractor
(equipment supported to the ground).
s2 (m) Horizontal distance between the barycentre of the
equipment and the inferior point of attachment of the
equipment (supported to the ground):
- PINOCCHIO - s2 = 1.180
- ATTILA - s2 = 1.410
- ARTIGLIO - s2 = 1.450
- ARTIGLIO MAGNUM - s2 = 1.425
The amount of ballast that should be applied according to the
formula is the minimum required for circulation on the road. If for
reasons of tractor performance or to improve the set-up of the
equipment during operation it is thought necessary to raise these
values, please refer to the registration document of the tractor to
check its limits.
When the formula for calculating the ballast gives a negative result
it will not be necessary to add any weight. In any case, as long as
the limits of the tractor are respected, a suitable quantity of weights
may be applied in order to ensure greater stability during transport.

3.3 SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR TRANSPORT
ON ROAD
For road circulation, you must observe the regulations of the
Highway Code in your country.
Given the weight and size of the equipment, it is necessary to
moderate your speed when you are transporting it by road. It is
acknowledged that most of the damage that occurs to the structure
of agricultural machinery is caused during road transport: adapt
the transport speed to the condition of the road surface. The
maximum transport speed depends on the regulations governing
transportation in the respective state.
Warning: do not drive on the road with the support props
lowered.
For transportation of the equipment, always follow the
Manufacturer's instructions.

3.4 SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR PARKING

- Parking the machine is a very dangerous operation this must
be performed by only one operator.
- Be very careful to carry out the whole operation following
the instructions.
- Do not remain in the area of action of the equipment.
The operation should be carried out on a solid, horizontal surface,
following the instructions given below:
- Lower the supporting base elements (Pos. 1 Fig. 9)
- Lower the hoist of the tractor.
- Lower the equipment by propping it on the ground;
- Lower the posterior cylinders by propping them on the ground;
- Disconnect the hydraulic pipes from the tractor distributors and
protect the quick couplings with the caps.
- Loosen and unhook the third point, following the first and second.
