SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ETNum-list
4. When the front loader is raised, the risk of the
tractor tipping over is greater, and the braking
effect at the rear axle may also be reduced.
Adapt your driving style and ensure adequate
ballasting at the rear. For additional loading,
we recommend attaching the Fendt 870 kg
additional weight at the three-point link - fit
wheel weights and fill the tyres if necessary.
5. Keep a safe distance from high-voltage
cables.
6. When on public roads, bring the front loader
into the transport position and secure it. Keep
a maximum distance of 3.5 m between the
implement and the centre of the steering
wheel. If the forward projection exceeds 3.5 m,
appropriate measures must be taken to
guarantee safe traffic conditions (e.g. use
people on foot acting as guides or mirrors at
road junctions). Transporting equipment or
materials with a front loader working
implement, e.g. a scoop, is not permitted when
travelling on public roads.
7. Danger from unintended lowering of the front
loader. Always secure hydraulic lever at the
end of operation. Before leaving the tractor,
completely lower the front loader to the
ground.
8. For safety reasons the front loader should be
mounted and removed by one person only, the
driver himself.
9. Always keep hands away from the crushing
and cutting areas while parts may still be
moving.
10. Detach the front loader with the attached
implement (bucket, fork) only on firm and
level ground. Always use the supports
provided.
11. The front loader must be parked and secured
in such a way as to prevent unauthorised
persons or children from causing it to tip over.
12. When mounting the front loader, connect all
hydraulic connections including the auxiliary
return, if equipped in this way. Always
connect hydraulic hose for cylinder load
pressure to +. Take great care not to confuse
connections since this may cause accidents
through reversed functions, e.g. lifting
instead of lowering. Before fitting the multiple
coupler, remove the load from hydraulic
hoses and unplug rear hydraulic
connections, lower the power lift and operate
only via EPC. Hydraulic fluid interflow can
create danger from unintentional equipment
motion.

1. Make sure the tractor is properly secured
against running off (parking brake, wheel
chocks). Switch off the engine and apply the
hand brake!
2. Remove the ignition key and lock the cab if
necessary.
3. Never leave the tractor unattended while the
engine is running.
4. Never leave the cab while the tractor is in
motion.
5. Completely lower the mounted implement
before leaving the tractor.
1. Only attach implements and trailers using the
prescribed devices.
2. Use only trailers which comply with the
country-specific regulations. Do not exceed
maximum vertical bearing load. Ensure that
the tractor-trailer brake system is functioning
correctly.
3. Take special care when hitching trailers or
implements!
4. Secure trailers and implements to prevent
them rolling. Make sure that detached
implements and components are safely
parked.
5. Be sure all protection devices are correctly
attached and in the safety position before
operating the tractor.
6. When using the power lift, always remain well
outside the travel range of the three-point link
attachment!
1. Always switch off the engine, before fitting or
removing the drive shaft. The PTO shaft must
be in 0-position.
2. During PTO operations, allow no-one in the
vicinity of the rotating PTO or drive shaft.
3. Make sure drive shaft and PTO are equipped
with protective guards and sleeves.
4. After switching off the PTO, the attached
implement may continue running due to the
flywheel mass. In this case, do not go near the
implement. Approach it only when it has come
to a complete standstill.
5. When the drive shaft is removed, cover the
PTO shaft with its protective cap.
