Switch off the tractor and secure it
Before you dismount:
Switch off the tractor.
Remove the ignition key.
Secure the tractor against rolling away.
An unsecured tractor can run you over or trap you. Otherwise,
serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Secure the machine
Secure the machine against unintentional starting and rolling
away. Use wheel chocks. The machine must stand on a level, firm
and secure surface and be supported during the work, if
necessary. Unsecured or non-supported machines can cause
accidents. Otherwise, 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.
Close the ball valve
Close the ball valve before adjusting. If the ball valve is open and
there is an operating error, the machine may drop or swing out
unexpectedly. This may cause damage to the machine or
accidents with fatal consequences.
