turn the tractor engine off and secure tractor and machine against accidental starting and
rolling with the machine hitched to the tractor,
secure lifted machine parts/the lifted machine against accidental lowering.
Hitch and unhitch machine
Only use appropriate tractors to hitch and transport the machine!
Properly hitch the machine to the specified devices!
Be sure not to exceed the following values when hitching the machine to the front and/or rear of a
tractor:
the gross vehicle weight rating of the tractor,
the admissible axle loads of the tractor,
the admissible tongue load at the tractor's coupling spot,
the admissible towing capacity of the coupling device,
the admissible load capacities of the tractor tyres,
the tractor's front axle load must never fall below 20 % of the tractor's empty weight!
The tractor must reach the deceleration specified by the tractor's manufacturer even with
the machine attached / hitched up.
Secure tractor and machine against rolling before hitching or unhitching the machine!
People are not allowed between tractor and machine, while the tractor is approaching the
machine!
Present helpers are only allowed to act as a guide next to the vehicles and to enter the space
between the vehicles after the vehicles have completely stopped.
Put the support device into support position when hitching and unhitching the machine (stability)!
Risk of crushing and shearing when actuating support devices!
Hitching and unhitching the machine to or from the tractor requires particular care! Crushing and
shearing zones exist within the area of the coupling spots between tractor and machine!
Check the connected supply lines. Connected supply lines:
must easily give way to any movements during cornering without any stress, buckling or
chafing,
must not chafe against external components!
Always park the unhitched machine in a stable position! Pay attention to the ground condition.
Beware of soft surfaces.
Use of machine
Acquaint yourself with all mechanisms and operating elements of the machine and their functions
before starting work! During operation it will be too late.
Wear close-fitting clothing! Loose-fitting clothing increases the risk of becoming entangled in or
wound up at drive shafts!
Start the machine only if all protective devices have been installed and are in protective position!
Observe the maximum load capacity of the attached/hitched machine and the admissible axle
and tongue loads of the tractor! Run the machine with the cargo space being only partly filled if
necessary.
People are not allowed:
within the operating/hazardous area of the machine,
within the discharge area of the machine,
within the turning and swivelling range of movable machine parts,
