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
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.
Avoid using the implement in unsuitable field and weather
conditions. It is better to stop work temporarily rather than
to operate in such conditions.
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.
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.
Never attempt to remove residues from the implement
while the implement runs. Such an imprudence could cost
life or limb. Always disengage the Power Take-Off (PTO)
shaft mechanism, switch OFF the tractor engine and ap-
ply the parking brake before you remove residues.
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.
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.
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.
When you drive up and down and across hillsides, avoid
sharp turns.
When you turn during operation, pay attention to the over-
hang and/or oscillating weight of the implement.
Avoid changing direction abruptly, especially when you
reverse, to avoid dangerous pitching of the implement.
When you work with the implement keep a safe distance
from steep slopes and similar ground conditions, as the
ground may be slippery and pull the implement and the
tractor sideways. Also remember to adjust the speed for
sharp turns when you drive on hillsides.
Pay the necessary attention while you operate next to
public roads or footpaths.
