Preparations on the field
Safety
The following applies for all preparations on the field:
Observe the safety information
Disregard for safety information can lead to serious or fatal injury.
See chapter "Safety", page 6.
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.
Avoid the hazard area
The rotors are considered a hazard area. Do not stand in the
hazard area. The rotors may lower or turn. Serious or fatal injury
may be caused as a result.
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.
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.
Observe the slewing process
Observe the rotors during the slewing process. If the machine
behaves unusually during the process, stop immediately to avoid
damage.
No persons within the slewing range
While the machine is slewing out, no persons must be present
within the slewing range. Otherwise, they may be caught by the
machine and injured.
