Before commissioning the machine, carefully read this operating manual, especially Chapters 

A-D 

p. 4-8. 

Before the first use of the machine, familiarise yourselves with its controls and overall function. 

 

 

During  work  with  the  machine,  observe  not  only  the  instructions  of  this  operating  manual  but  also 
generally valid regulations of work safety, health protection, fire and transport safety, and environmental 
protection. 

 

 

The  operator  must  check  the  machine  before  every  use  (commissioning)  from  the  standpoint  of 
completeness, work safety, work hygiene, fire safety, transport safety, and environmental protection. 
A machine showing signs of damage must not be commissioned. 

 

 

Aggregation of the machine with the tractor is to be performed on a flat and hardened surface. 

 

 

When working on slopes, observe the lowest allowable slope grade of the set 

TRACTOR - MACHINE

 

 

Before starting the tractor motor, check whether no person or animal is in the working space of the set and 
push the warning sound signal. 

 

 

The  operator  is  responsible  for  the  safety  and  all  damage  caused  by  the  operation  of  the  tractor  and  the 
connected machine. 

 

 

The operator is obliged to adhere to the technical and safety regulations of the machine determined by the 
producer when working. 

 

 

When turning the machine at headland, the Operator must lift the machine, i.e. the working bodies are not 
in the ground

/p. 4 when. 

 

 

The operator is obliged to lower the  machine to the ground and secure the set against  movement before 
leaving the tractor cabin. 

 
 

DECREASE OF SOIL PRESSURE TO A VALUE LOWER THAN 200kP 

- To decrease the specific pressure on soil (below 200kPa) at the turns on the headland, raise the machine on 
the pole by using the hydraulic tractor shoulders and rear rollers. Turn around when the machine is unfolded 
and resting on rollers.
