2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Operating the implement safely
WARNING
Hazard to bystanders!
Always sound the horn before starting the ma-
chine. Make sure the work area is clear of
other persons, domestic animals, tools, etc.
before you operate the machine. Never allow
anyone in the work area during machine oper-
ation.
Failure to comply could result in death or se-
rious injury.
W0304A
WARNING
Entanglement hazard!
Make sure all people and obstructions are
clear of the implement before engaging the
tractor Power Take-Off (PTO).
Failure to comply could result in death or se-
rious injury.
W1378A
WARNING
Rotating parts!
Keep clear of all drives and rotating compo-
nents.
Failure to comply could result in death or se-
rious injury.
W1101A
NOTE: Only put the implement into operation according
to the instructions from the dealer.
Never operate the implement under the influence of alco-
hol, drugs, or while otherwise impaired.
Keep people away from the implement during operation.
Ask bystanders to leave the field. There is the risk for
bystanders to be overrun by the implement. Stop the im-
plement immediately if someone approaches.
The tractor or its implement may strike or crush against a
person or pet within the operator area of the tractor. DO
NOT allow anyone to enter the work area. Make sure that
the area is clear and operation is safe before you move
the implement.
Before you switch on the PTO shaft, take care that no one
stays in the danger zone of the implement.
Lower the cutting unit to working position before you start
the power transmission.
Always start the implement with the engine running at low
speed.
Always start the implement with the PTO shaft in a posi-
tion of maximum 10° from horizontal.
Whenever a PTO is in operation, a guard must be in place
to prevent death or injury to the operator or bystanders.
Before you raise or lower the implement with the link arms
of the tractor, check that nobody is near the implement or
touches the implement.
When you operate the implement, always remain seated
in the tractor cab. Operate controls only when seated in
the tractor seat, except for those controls expressly in-
tended for use from other locations.
While in operation, the transportation of people on the top
of the implement is strictly forbidden.
Avoid using the implement in unsuitable crop and weather
conditions. It is better to stop work temporarily rather than
to operate in such conditions.
Never attempt to remove crop or residues from an im-
plement while the implement runs. Such an imprudence
could cost life or limb.
Always disengage the Power
Take-Off (PTO) mechanism, switch off the tractor engine
and apply the parking brake before you remove crop or
residues.
Always stop PTO when the PTO is not needed or when
the shaft is in an adverse position.
During the daily work you must consider that loose stones
and foreign matter on the ground might get in contact with
the revolving parts and get thrown out again at a very
high speed. Therefore, before you operate the implement
make sure that all safety guards are intact, properly fitted
and secured.
Relieve correctly the cutting unit to ensure perfect oper-
ation in the field and to reduce the risk of damaging the
cutter bar. If the cutting unit or the conditioner is blocked
because of foreign matter, stop the power take-off of the
tractor, activate the parking brake and wait until all revolv-
ing parts have stopped. Then try to remove the foreign
matter.
In stony fields adjust the stubble height to maximum (hor-
izontal cutter bar) and reduce the cutting angle as much
as possible. This results in less wear of blades and stone
guards and reduces the risk of loose stones being thrown
out from the rotating parts of the implement.
Always operate the implement at a safe speed in accor-
dance with the ground conditions. On uneven ground,
proceed with the utmost caution to ensure proper stabil-
ity.
When you turn on hillsides always be careful when you lift
the implement with the 3-point linkage because there is a
risk of overturning. Adjust the speed to these conditions.
Drive in a low tractor gear if you work on hillsides.
