2.4 Safety conscious operation
Besides the safety advice in this instruction manual
additionally, the national, and generally valid
operation safety and accident prevention advice of
the authorised trade association are binding,
especially UVV 3.1, UVV 3.2 and UVV 3.4.
Adhere to the safety advice on the decals on the
machine.
When travelling on public roads observe the traffic
regulations in force in your country.
2.5 Safety advice for the operator
2.5.1 General safety and accident
prevention advice
Basic principle:
Always check traffic and operational safety before
putting the machine to operation.
1. Adhere to the general rules of health- and safety
precautions besides the advice in this instruction
manual.
2. The fitted warning- and advising decals give
important hints for a safe operation; adhering to
them protects your own safety.
3. When making use of public roads adhere to
applicable traffic rules.
4. Become acquainted with the machines controls
and functions before beginning the operation.
Doing this during operation would be too late.
5. Avoid wearing any loose clothing that would
possibly wrap or catch on moving machinery.
6. Avoid danger of fire by keeping the machine
clean.
7. Before beginning to move, check surrounding
area (children etc.). Ensure sufficient visibility.
8. Sitting or standing on the implement during
operation or during transport is not permissible.
9. Attach implements as advised and only to the
advised devices.
10. Special care should be taken when the
implement is coupled to or off the tractor.
11. When attaching or removing the machine bring
any parking or storing devices into the
corresponding position (standing safety).
12. Fit weights always to the fixing points provided
and as advised for that purpose.
13. Adhere to the maximum permissible axle loads,
total weights and transport dimensions.
14. Observe the outer permissible transport
dimensions according to your national traffic
law.
15. Fit and check transport gear, traffic lights,
warnings and guards.
16. The release ropes for quick coupling three point
linkages should hang freely and in the lowered
position must not release by themselves.
17. During driving never leave the operator’s seat.
18. Mount the implement as prescribed. Moving
behaviour, steerability and braking are
influenced by mounted implements, trailers and
ballast weights. Check sufficient steerability and
braking.
19. When lifting a three-point-implement the front
axle load of the tractor is reduced depending on
its size. The sufficient front axle load (20% of the
tractor net weight) must be observed (pls.see
instruction book of the vehicle manufacturer).
20. When driving into bends mind the projection to
the sides and the gyrating mass of the
implement.
To avoid sideways swing of the spreader during
operation stabilise the lower link arms of the
three-point-hydraulic.
21. Take implement only into operation when all
guards are fixed in position.
22. Never stay or let anyone stay within the
operation area of the implement.
23. Hydraulic folding frames may only be actuated
when nobody is staying in the swivelling range.
24. On all hydraulically actuated pivoting parts
exists danger of injury by bruising and trapping.
25. On all hydraulically actuated pivoting parts
exists danger of injury by bruising and trapping.
26. Before leaving the vehicle lower the implement
to the ground. Actuate the parking brakes, stop
the engine and remove ignition key.
27. Nobody should stay between vehicle and
implement if the tractor is not secured against
rolling away by the parking brake and/or by
chocks.
28. Note maximum permissible filling loads.
Bear in mind the spreading material bulk
density [kg/l].
Payload
E+S 200 1000 kg
E+S 300 1000 kg
E+S 400 1000 kg
E+S 600 1000 kg
29. Do not place any foreign objects inside the
hopper.
30. During the calibration test watch out for danger
zones due to rotating implement parts.
31. Never park or move the spreader with filled
hopper (danger of tipping over).
32. Before any operation check perfect seat of
the fixing parts, especially for spreading
disc- and spreading vane-fixing.
