17. Never leave the tractor seat while the machine is operating.
18. Drive speed must be adapted to ground conditions as well as to roads and paths.
Always avoid abrupt changes of direction.
19. Precision steering, tractor adherence, road holding and efficient braking are influenced by the type of implement,
weight, ballast of front axle, ground or road conditions. It is therefore of utmost importance to be cautious in every
given situation.
20. Be particularly cautious when turning corners, paying attention to machine overhang, length, height and weight.
21. Keep clear of the machine operating area.
22. WARNING ! Danger of crushing and shearing can exist when components are operated by hydraulic or
pneumatic controls.

the ignition key and wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
24. Do not stand between the tractor and the machine unless the hand brake is tight and/or stops have been placed
under the wheels.
25. Before any adjustments, maintenance or repairs are carried out, ensure that the machine cannot be started up
accidentally.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE
1. Do not wear loose clothing which could be caught up in moving parts.
2. Wear the individual protection equipment corresponding to the work which is planned (gloves, shoes, eye
protection, helmet, ear protectors...).
3. All operating controls (cords, cables, rods ...) must be positioned so that they cannot be set off accidentally,
causing accident or damage.
4. Before operating the machine, check the tightness of all nuts and bolts, particularly on rotating parts (blades,
tines, knives, spades ...)
5. Before operating the machine, ensure that all safety guards are firmly in place and in good condition. If worn
or damaged, replace immediately.

3. Ensure that vertical and horizontal pivot angles between machine tongue and tractor hitch point are sufficient
to allow safe operation.
