Safety
Observe the safety information
Observe the safety information. Disregard for safety information
can lead to serious or fatal injury. See chapter »Safety«, page 6.
No riding on the machine
Persons or objects must never be transported on the machine.
Carrying passengers on the machine is life-threatening and
prohibited. Serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
No persons in the working area
Ensure that no persons are present in the slewing and working
area of the machine. Persons could be caught by the machine
within this area. This could result in fatal injury.
Maximum PTO stub shaft speed 540 rpm
The PTO stub shaft speed must not exceed 540 rpm and must be
adapted to the condition of the crop. Higher revolution rates can
cause damage to the machine.
Only allow the PTO shaft clutch to respond for a short time
Do not allow the slip clutch to respond for longer than 3 seconds.
If the clutch responds for a longer period of time, it will become
worn and the disconnect torque will drop.
Do not compress the PTO shaft
The PTO shaft between the tractor and machine must not be
compressed when in the work position or transport position. If
compressed, PTO shafts can cause damage to the machine and
tractor.
Observe the contour of the terrain
Pay even more attention when driving on an incline. Avoid inclines
on which the combination (tractor and machine) could slip or
overturn. There is an increased risk of tipping and injury in a
position at right angles to the direction of the slope.
Changes in the centre of gravity
When in work position, the machine's centre of gravity changes.
Pay even more attention when driving on an incline. Avoid inclines
on which the combination (tractor and machine) could slip or
overturn. There is an increased risk of tipping and injury in a
position at right angles to the direction of the slope.
