2.4 Children in danger
Children are not able to assess dangers and may behave unpredictably. Children are
therefore especially endangered.
Ø Keep children away from the machine
Ø
Especially before driving off and before triggering machine movements you
must make sure that the danger zone is free of children.
Ø
Shut down the tractor before leaving it. Children can trigger dangerous ma-
chine movements. An insufficiently secured machine parked without being at-
tended poses a danger for playing children.
2.5 Personal protective outfit
Missing or incomplete protective equipment increases the risk of health damage.
Personal protective equipment includes, e.g.:
• Tight fitting clothes / protective clothing, possibly a hair net
• Safety shoes
• Safety gloves
• Safety goggles to protect the eyes against dust or spray, when working with fer-
tiliser or liquid fertiliser. Observe the regulations given by the fertiliser manufac-
turer!
Ø
Respirator masks and protective gloves when handling dressing or dressed
seed. Observe the safety data sheets of the dressing manufacturer!
Ø
Determine the personal protective equipment for the corresponding work as-
signment.
Ø Provide effective protective equipment in proper condition.
Ø
Never wear rings, bracelets or other jewellery.
2.6 Safety in traffic

Ø
Pay attention to permissible transport widths and heights. Pay attention to the
transport height when passing under bridges and low hanging overhead
power lines.
Ø
Do not exceed the permissible axle load, tyre load bearing capacity and total
weight, in order to ensure sufficient steering and braking capabilities.
The weight of the tractor must at least be equivalent to the curb weight of the
machine.
The front axle must be loaded with at least 20 % of the tractor weight.
