General safety-related instructions and accident prevention
regulations
•
Check the implement and the tractor for road and operational safety before every
use!
•
The implements must be checked regularly by the operator (before every use) for
any fractures and cracks, chafe marks, leaks, loose bolts and connections,
vibrations, unusual sounds, and to ensure they function correctly.
•
Observe the generally applicable safety and accident prevention regulations!
•
The warning and information signs applied to the implement provide important
instructions for safe operation, observe them for the sake of your own safety!
•
Observe the respective regulations when using public roads!
•
Before starting work, get to know all of the equipment and operating elements as well
as their functions. It is too late to do so during operation!
•
The view on the mounted single disc spreader and the hazardous movement area
must be clear to check the procedure.
•
The user should wear close-fitting clothing. Avoid wearing loose clothes!
•
Hearing protection should be used, if necessary.
•
Keep the implements clean to reduce the risk of fire!
•
Check the surrounding area before starting up and operating the implement!
(Children!) Ensure sufficient visibility!
•
It is not allowed to carry passengers on the implement during operation and
transport!
•
The implement must be coupled according to the instructions and only onto the
specified devices!
•
The instructions concerning assembly as well as the requirements concerning the
tractor as specified in the operating manual are to be observed.
•
Special care must be taken when coupling and uncoupling implement to and from the
tractor!
•
During assembly, the operator must ensure that the requirements for the tractor
specified in the operating instructions are met and that the connections specified in
the operating instructions are made correctly.
•
When mounting the single disc spreader, the operator must ensure that there is a
metallic connection made to the tractor.
•
Always attach ballast weights at the intended attachment points according to the
specifications!
•
Observe the permissible axle load, total weight and transport dimensions!
•
Transport equipment, e.g. lighting, warning signs and any protective equipment, must
be checked and mounted!
•
Triggers for fast couplers must be hanging loosely and must not trigger themselves
when lowered.
•
Never leave the driver's platform while driving!
•
The driving behaviour, steering and braking capacity are also affected by mounted or
towed implements and ballast weights. For this reason, always ensure sufficient
steering and braking capacity!
•
When driving in curves, take account of the wide radius and/or the centrifugal mass
of the implement!
•
The implement may only be operated when all of the protective devices are installed
and in safety position!
