3.  Accident prevention 

 

 

This sign on the machine or in the instruction manual draws your attention to the 
security advices. If you don’t pay attention to it, there is danger for your life and 
serious injuries. Please observe all rules and instructions and give them to all other 
users, too! 

 

 

3.1 Security and accident prevention instructions 

 

For your own security 

 

 

Please test all functions of the machine before starting to work, to be ready for 
working with the machine! 

 

The operation of the machine is done by the driver of the tractor and happens 
while sitting on the driver’s seat. Further persons have to be removed out of the 
dangerous range of the machine. 

 

Attention! Between tractor and machine there is danger of contusion. It is not 
allowed to stay in the dangerous area. 

 

Before every use do switch the handles for the lifter and the PTO shaft to “0”. 

 

Approximately 10 hours after starting up you have to check and 

– if necessary – 

tighten all screws and bolts! This is especially important for the wheel-bolts. 

 

While adjusting the working depth the front tins may tumble down after loosen the 
fixing screw. There is danger of contusion! 

 

Never do workings of maintenance, service, cleaning or repair while the engine is 
running! 

 

All protection installations ever have to be mounted duly! 

 

Attention! Even the stationary milling rotors are dangerous and can do injuries, too. 
Therefore you have to wear protection gloves while all working at the rotors (for 
example resetting of the sticks). 
 

 
 
Additional to the instructions for accident protection written above the generally 
accepted rules of technical, work, medical and traffic security advices are valid, like 
them of the professional associations.
