Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth when using products such as fuels, oils, solvents and
cleaning products, most of which contain harmful substances.

2.1.7 Fire
l
To prevent fire, keep the machine and its accessories clean and free of grass, leaves or
excess grease.

Always have a working fire extinguisher nearby.

Check with your insurance provider that using your equipment in the intended locations does
not pose any risk.
2.1.8 Overhead power lines
l
Ensure that the machine and its accessories have sufficient clearance at all times.
l
If the machine comes in contact with a power line, immediately stop the tractor and apply the
handbrake. If you can exit the tractor without touching the electrical cables, jump out without
touching the machine and the ground simultaneously. Ensure that nobody touches the
machine until the power lines no longer carry a current. Ask for the power line to be
disconnected.
2.2 Safety tips for transport
When driving on the road, adjust your speed to the
load and terrain.
Follow the rules of the road, particularly the 40
km/h (25 mph) speed limit.
Check the local regulations before driving on public
roads with a load. Check the maximum allowable
height and width and whether the load must be
attached.
NOTE: The trailer’s standard tires are generally not prescribed for
long distances on public roads.
