Preparing for operation
Safety
The following applies to all preparations for operation:
Observe the safety information
Disregard for safety information can lead to serious or fatal injury.
See chapter "Safety", page 6.
Secure the machine
Secure the machine against accidental 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. Fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Avoid the hazard area
The rotors are considered a hazard area. Do not stand in the
hazard area. The rotors may lower or turn. This can lead to serious
or fatal injuries.
Remove tine supports
When carrying out adjustment work on the machine, tine supports
which hinder work on the machine must be removed. Tine
supports that are not removed can cause serious injuries.
Unfold fully and evenly
Ensure that the side devices are evenly unfolded. If there is a mal-
function, fold the side devices back in and repeat the process at a
higher engine speed. The hydraulic cylinders must be completely
extended in the work position. Otherwise, the machine may be
damaged.
