AGRISEM denies any liability in the event of damage resulting from a combination of machines
that has not received written authorisation from AGRISEM.
Accidents linked to the breaking of components during operation may result from
unauthorised combinations of hitching equipment.
Hitching and ballasting are operations which involve a risk of injury.
Before hitching or unhitching:
-
Place the machine on stable ground.
-
Chock the machine and take all of the necessary measures to avoid the accidental
movement of the tractor.
The machine must only be coupled using the coupling points provided for this purpose and in
accordance with the applicable rules.
When hitching, do not exceed:
-
The tractor's total authorised weight
-
The tractor's authorised axle loads
-
The permissible load capacities of the tyres mounted on the tractor.

Instructions to be followed before using the machine
WARNING
A failure to take movement or operating safety measures may result in accidents involving
crushing, cuts, entanglement, pinching or impacts.
Before start-up, check that the machine and the tractor are able to move and operate in complete
safety.
Never climb onto the machine or stand on it when it is moving.
Never work in reverse.
Never allow children to climb on the tractor or the machine, or to play near the equipment, even
if the machine is stopped.
When using or manoeuvring the machine ensure that no-one is within the manoeuvring or
working area.
The elements of the machine that are controlled by an external force have crushing and
shearing zones. Keep away from these hazardous areas.
Be aware of hidden obstacles (stones, roots, pipes, cables, etc.) in the event of a collision with an
obstacle.
In such an event you must stop the drive, stop the tractor engine, remove the ignition
key and wait for the machine to stop completely.
No one must be standing between the tractor wheels and the tool when
hitching or unhitching.
