2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
General recommendations
Most farm machinery accidents can be avoided by the
observance of a few simple safety precautions.
• This operator’s manual contains important information
concerning operation, maintenance and adjustment of
the implement. Furthermore, this operator’s manual
mentions and emphasizes all the safety instructions.
• Read the operator’s manual thoroughly before you
start, operate, service, or carry out any other operation
on the implement. Even though you have been driving
a similar implement before, you must read the manual.
This is a matter of your own and other people safety.
A few minutes reading will save you time and hassle
later. Lack of knowledge can lead to accidents.
• Your implement was designed with safety in mind.
However, there is no real substitute for caution and
attention when you need to prevent an accident. Once
an accident has occurred, it is too late to think about
what you should have done.
This means that it is
very important that you as user of the implement pay
attention and use the implement correctly and thereby
avoid exposing yourself and others to unnecessary
danger.
• The implement must be operated only by responsible
persons who have been adequately trained and autho-
rized to use the implement. Never leave the implement
to others before you have made sure that they have the
necessary knowledge to operate the implement safely.
• Never let the implement run without supervision.
• Always keep a first aid kit handy.
• Take the necessary precautions (for example assis-
tance) to always be aware of the possible presence of
bystanders and pets.
• Keep children away from and off the implement at all
times.
• Do not use this implement as a lift, ladder or platform
to work at heights.
• Before you work on the implement, disengage all
drives, stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
Wait for the rotating parts to run down.
• Never work around the implement with loose clothing,
jewelry, watches, long hair and other loose or hanging
items can be pulled in by the moving parts of the imple-
ment.
• Keep hands away from moving parts of the implement.
• Never attempt to carry out any adjustments on the im-
plement while the implement is in motion or while the
Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft is engaged.
• PTO driven implement can cause death or serious in-
jury. Before you work on or near the PTO shaft or ser-
vice or clear the driven implement, disengage the PTO,
stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
