•
Maintenance and cleaning work must be carried out with the implement lowered, shut down and
secured to prevent it being switched on again.
•
Working under the implement is forbidden.
•
Observe the generally applicable safety and accident prevention regulations!
•
Use additional lighting (e.g., flashlight) for repair or maintenance work!
•
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!
•
Hearing protection must be worn when using the implement.
•
The spread rate may only be adjusted exactly according to the operating manual and by trained
personnel!
•
The user should wear close-fitting clothing. Avoid wearing loose clothes!
•
Please always wear safety shoes with non-slip soles!
•
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the machines clean. It is also recommended to carry a fire
extinguisher on the tractor.
•
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!
•
It is strictly forbidden to carry persons on any implement used to mount the universal metering unit.
•
The implement must be coupled according to the instructions and only onto the specified devices!
•
Special care must be taken when coupling and uncoupling implement to and from the tractor! Use
only self-locking attachments (nuts) as well as high-tensile bolts.
•
Check the stability of the tractor and the implement when mounting, operating, and performing
maintenance/filling. Depending on the soil tillage implement on which the spreader is mounted, use a
step according to EN 14018 and according to the operating manual.
•
When mounting the implement, the hydraulic connections to the tractor hydraulic system must be
connected carefully according to the operating manual.
•
Always attach ballast weights at the intended attachment points according to the specifications!
•
The instructions concerning mounting as well as the requirements for the tractor or agricultural
implement as specified in the operating manual are to be observed.
•
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!
•
It is forbidden to stand in the working area of the implement!
•
Do not stand near rotating and swivelling parts of the implement!
•
Hydraulic folding frames may only be actuated when nobody is standing in the swivelling range.
•
There are pinch and shear points on externally powered (e.g. hydraulic) parts!
•
On implements with manual folding, always ensure that the implement is stable!
•
For implements that are driven rapidly with soil-driven tools: Danger after lifting due to the still
rotating centrifugal mass! Only approach the implement when it has come to a standstill!
•
Before exiting the tractor, lower the implement onto the ground, switch off the motor and remove the
ignition key!
•
Standing between the tractor and the implement is forbidden unless the vehicle is secured against
rolling away using the parking brake and/or with wheel chocks!
•
Folded frames and lifting devices must be locked in transport position!
•
Packer catch arms must be swivelled in and locked before road transport!
