Safety measures at the place of work
•
When starting the engine, the traction and attached device drives must be disengaged (i.e.
the safety stop lever is not depressed; see fig. 1, page 12).
•
The driving speed must be always adapted to the enviromental and load conditions. Avoid
sudden turns when driving up, down or across a slope. Never disengage the clutch and/or
shift gear on slopes.
•
Couple trailers and attached devices according to the regulations. The driving, steering,
braking capability and tipping behaviour will be affected by attached devices. Therefore
make sure that steering and braking capabilities are sufficient and adapt your working
speed to the respective environmental conditions!
•
Persons fitted with a cardiac pacemaker must not touch electrically conducting parts of the
ignition system when the engine is running.
•
Before starting to drive, check the brakes and their function.
•
Remove larger objects from the work area (e.g. planks, cables, stones etc.).
•
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts during operation.
•
Ensure that the work area is sufficiently well illuminated.
•
Drive at a right angle to the slope, never up or down the slope!
•
Be particularly careful when changing direction on the slope.
•
Never leave the operator position during work.
•
Do not alter or repair supporting and safety-relevant parts (frame, axles etc.).
•
In the case of damage to the appliance, switch it off immediately. Remove the spark plug
cap and have the damage repaired!
•
If the appliance is to be used for mowing crops that are classified as foodstuffs, parts which
come into contact with the foodstuffs must not be lubricated with machine oil or grease or
protected against rust.
•
If there is a danger of slipping on a sloping terrain, an accompanying person must hold the
2-wheel tractor with a rod or a rope. The accompanying person must remain above
the vehicle at a safe distance from the working tool.
