Use on the land

Caught between moving parts:

Be careful not to be caught between moving parts while adjusting the 

machine. You could accidentally touch control levers and cause the 

machine to move.
Only start working once all machine parts have stopped and the 

control lever have been secured. Wear safety shoes and gloves. 

Contact with these materials could cause physical injury.

Check the direct surroundings

Check the immediate environment and keep a constant eye on it at the 

start, as well as while you are working with the machine. Familiarise 

yourself  with  the  immediate  vicinity.  Do  not  start  working  until  all 

people and obstacles within the working area and danger zone of the 

tractor and machine have been removed.

Never stay or allow anyone to stay within the danger area! If there are 

people within the working area and the danger zone it could lead to 

injury.

Before leaving the tractor:

•

switch the PTO shaft off,

•

release the pressure from the hydraulic system,

•

switch the tractor off,

•

remove the key from the ignition,

•

engage the parking brake of the tractor.

That way you make sure that the tractor cannot be started when you 

are working on the machine and that the machine cannot move, which 

could cause severe physical injury.

PTO shaft rotates after disengaging

After switching off the PTO shaft, danger could arise as the machine 

will continue running because of inertia. Keep a safe distance to the 

machine  until  the  moving  parts  have  come  to  a  complete  stop. 

Approaching  the  machine  while  it  is  rotating  can  cause  serious  or 

deadly injuries.

Protecting the environment

Spreading  a  too  high  dose  of  materials  outside  of  the  perimeter, 

especially  on  water  surface,  creates  a  heavy  burden  on  the 

environment.  Protect  the  environment  by  applying  a  correct 

application rate in a correct working manner.

Work with a closed cabin

Fertiliser dust can blow indoors through open windows, doors or other 

openings. Moreover, the sound level is higher in an open cabin. It is 

therefore recommended to always work with a closed cabin with active 

carbon filters in the air inlets. Fertiliser dust and a high sound level can 

cause physical damage.
