• When tipping the hopper attachment use a suitable
support at the right position!
• Drive in such a way, that you will at any time be
able to securely control the Trac. Be aware of your
own abilities, account for the road, traffic, sight and
weather conditions, the driving characteristics of
the Trac and the influences of the sprayer imple -
ment or a trailer.
2.7.2 Hitching and unhitching a trailer
• Hitch the trailer correctly to the specified hitching
points!
• By hitching trailers to the rear of the Trac, the fol-
lowing must not be exceeded
- the permissible total weight of the Trac
- the permissible Trac axle loads
- the permissible tyre bearing capacities of the
Trac tyres
- the permissible tongue load.
• Before hitching or unhitching a trailer secure it
against accidental rolling.
• Persons are not permitted to stay between the
trailer to be hitched up and the Trac, while the Trac
is moving towards the trailer!
• Possibly assisting persons must stay besides the
vehicles and may only step between the vehicles
when these are at standstill.
• For hitching and unhitching trailers position the
respective supports (if intended) appropriately (to
ensure stability)!
• Danger of injury at crushing or shearing points
when operating the support facilities!
• Exercise extreme care when hitching or unhitching
trailers to and from the Trac! Crushing and shear-
ing points in the coupling area between Trac and
trailer.
• Coupled supply lines
- must easily follow all movements during cornering
without applying any tension, buckling or friction.
- but must not rub against other parts.
• Triggering ropes for quick release couplings must
hang down loosely and should not trigger any ac-
tion whne in lowest position!
• Always ensure stability when parking unhitched
trailers!
2.7.3 Using the machine
• Before starting work make yourself familiar with all
equipment and operating elements on the machine
and with their functions. It is too late for this once
you have started work!
• Wear tight fitting clothes! Loose clothes increase
the danger of being caught or pulled in by drive
shafts!
• Only start operation of the machine if all protective
devices have been installed and are in protecting
position!
• Pay attention to the max. payload of the spraying
implement and the hitched up trailer as well as the
permissible axle and tongue loads of the Trac! If
necessary drive with the tank only partly filled.
• Persons are not permitted to stay inside the work-
ing range of the machine!
• Persons are not permitted to stay inside the turning
and slewing range of the machine!
• Only use ascending aids and steps when machine
is at standstill. Passengers are not allowed to ride
on the machine during operation!
• Parts actuated by external forces (e.g. hydraulical-
ly) have crushing and shearing points!
• Machine parts operated by external forces must
only be actuated, if persons keep a sufficient safety
distance from the machine!
• Before leaving the Trac, secure it against acciden-
tal starting and unintended rolling. For this purpose
- lower the machine to the ground
- apply the parking brake
- shut down the Trac engine
- pull out the ignition key
• The engine must only be started from the driver's
seat. The engine must not be started by shorting
the electrical connections on the starter motor,
because the machine might immediately start to
move.
