2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Starting up the implement safely
Before you attach the implement to the tractor, ensure that
the tractor is in good working order and that the brakes
are efficient, particularly if you operate on hilly ground.
Also, ensure that the hydraulic or pneumatic system is
compatible with that of the implement.
When you attach the implement to the tractor:
• Never allow anyone to stand between the tractor and
the implement. An unintentional manoeuvre with the
tractor may cause serious injury.
• Never go under an unsupported implement.
Install all the guards correctly before you use the imple-
ment.
Replace worn and damaged canvases before you work
with the implement.
Make sure that you are thoroughly familiar with the instru-
ments and controls before you engage the Power Take-
Off (PTO) drive for the first time.
The PTO shaft has its own instruction manual that the
manufacturer supply with the implement. To ensure the
correct use of the shaft, follow all the instructions of the
manufacturer manual. Pay particularly close attention to
the safety and maintenance instructions, in order to pre-
vent unintentional injury and damage.
Do not use Power Take-Off (PTO) drive shafts with other
specifications than the shaft which was supplied with the
implement.
Before you install the PTO drive shaft, check that the Rev-
olutions Per Minute (RPM) and direction of the PTO on the
tractor match those of the PTO on the implement.
Repair immediately a damaged PTO shaft before you
work with the implement.
Always stop the PTO and the tractor engine and remove
the ignition key before you connect the PTO drive shafts.
After you attach the implement to the tractor, ensure that
the Power Take-Off (PTO) lock pin is properly engaged
in the tractor Power Take-Off shaft. An incorrectly locked
PTO shaft could work loose and cause accidents or dam-
age to the implement.
Make sure to install and secure the PTO drive shaft cor-
rectly. Check that the lock pin is in mesh. Fasten the
support chain at both ends.
Always make sure that the guard tubes do not separate
at the maximum working or transport length of the PTO
drive shaft. Check also that the guard tubes do not jam at
the minimum working or transport length of the PTO drive
shaft.
Unless the protective guards, the PTO drive shaft may
cause serious injury. Be careful not to damage the guards
when you connect the PTO drive shaft to or from the trac-
tor.
Fit correctly the guards on the PTO drive shaft. Secure
the guard of the PTO shaft with the chain.
Before you start up the implement (for example the first
time after a long standstill period), make sure that there
are no detached loose parts on the drive line area and on
the moving parts of the implement.
