Safety 

 

Tighten all nuts, bolts or any other fastened assemblies after a few hours’ use.

 

 

 

Operate the tractor and FRONTFLEX 

only while seated in the driver’s seat. 

Never 

allow anyone else to ride on or be in the immediate vicinity of the equipment. 

 

 

Never allow children to operate the FRONTFLEX.

 

 

 

 

The  driver  is  responsible  for  the  correct  use  of  lights  and  markings  in  compli-
ance with the present Traffic Act and Highway Code of the local traffic legisla-
tion. 

 

 

Remember to secure lift arms and top link connections with lynch pins.  
 

 

Before performing any adjustments, maintenance or repairs on the machinery, 
always make sure the packer roller is resting securely on the ground. 
 

 

It is strictly forbidden to allow anyone to be underneath FRONTFLEX unless the 
implement  is  securely  blocked. 

Serious  injury  or  death

  could  result.  If  the 

FRONTFLEX is hitched to the tractor, it is important to set the tractor brakes. 
 

 

When changing bearings, shafts and rings, the main frame must be securely 
blocked  by  a  solid  support.

  Best  results  can  be  achieved  by  mounting  the 

FRONTFLEX in the three-point hitch of the tractor, with the  FRONTFLEX resting 
securely on the ground.  
 

 

FRONTFLEX  must

 

not  be  used  as  a  transport  vehicle,  a  pile  driver  or  anything 

similar.  
 

 

A higher level of noise is produced when driving on rocky soil or with worn roller 
rings. To protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises, wear hear-
ing protection. 
 

 

Driving on extremely dry soil conditions can raise a large amount of dust. It is 
recommended that the windows and doors of the tractor be closed or that a dust 
mask be used. 

 

Important safety information is preceded by a
