3.1.13 Leaving the machine
• When leaving the machine, ensure that it will not
roll away (apply parking brake, wheel chocks).
Shut off the engine. Remove the ignition key and
lock the operator's cab.

period, turn off the battery isolating switch.
• Never leave the machine unattended as long as

3.1.14 Front attachments and trailers
• Support raised front attachments securely before
doing any work underneath the units.
• Take particular care when mounting front attach-
ments to the basic machine and when attaching a
trailer.
• Owing to their function, front attachments and
feeder mechanisms such as belts, rollers, chains,
worm gears, reels and the like cannot be com-
pletely protected by design measures; for this
reason, an adequate safety distance must be
maintained from these moving elements during
operation. These instructions also apply to all
other accessories operated on the machine.
• No person must ever be allowed between the
machine and the front attachment unless the park-
ing brake is applied and/or the wheels are
chocked so that the vehicle can not start to move
on its own.
• Front attachments and trailers must only be
attached to the coupling devices provided for that
purpose. Observe the maximum permissible load
capacity of the trailer hitch.
• Hitch the trailer correctly to the forage harvester.
Be alert when connecting a trailer to the forage
harvester.
• Before disconnecting a front attachment always
make sure that it is stable and securely parked.
• When attaching front attachments always make
sure that the load on the existing rear axle is suffi-
cient to maintain the forage harvester's steering
and braking capabilities.
