of direction in all circumstances. Be extra careful in bends and remember to take account of the
overhang, length, height and weight of the machine.
5. The user must avoid wearing loose clothing which may get caught up in a moving part.

total safety. NEVER USE THE MACHINE WITH PEOPLE OR ANIMALS STANDING NEARBY.
8. The machine must only be used by one person at a time.

particularly hydraulically or pneumatically-assisted devices.
Hitching / Unhitching
1. Always take great care when hitching and unhitching the machine.
2. Never hitch the machine to the hole-type drawbar or to the swinging drawbar of the tractor when
taking onto the road.

yoke or eyebolt).

position with the loading device at rest (arm lowered, grab in). Put the hydraulic lift control into the
locked position to avoid accidental operation. Apply the parking brake to immobilise the machine.
