Safety

Uncoupling

Increased risk of injury

There is an increased risk of injury when uncoupling the machine from
the tractor. Therefore:

•

Set the machine down on firm, secure and level ground.

•

Never stand between the tractor and the machine during manoeu-
vring.

•

Secure the tractor against rolling away, turn off the engine and
remove the ignition key.

•

Secure the machine against rolling away (use wheel chocks).

•

Ensure that the sustainer is securely locked.

•

Place the PTO shaft in the holder provided.

•

Do not uncouple the hydraulic hoses until the hydraulic system is
at zero pressure.

Failure to observe these instructions can result in serious or fatal
injury.
