Safety
Precautions for machine use
After each use, check the seeding tools (shares,
coulters) and their attachment hardware in accordance
with the instructions given in the present manual.
Check the guards regularly. Immediately replace any
damaged or missing elements.
Make sure all the guards are in place. Keep all persons
and animals away from the danger zone.
Stay a safe distance from the machine when the cutting
tools are in movement.
Never reverse while raking.
After disengaging the PTO drive, tools can continue
rotating for some time. Stay away from the machine until
all moving parts have come to a complete standstill.
If the machine hits an obstacle, disengage the PTO
drive, stop the tractor engine, remove the ignition key
and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete
standstill. Check the entire machine for any damage
before resuming work.
Precautions to take before using the
control box
Place the control box so that it cannot interfere with other
tractor controls and be activated inadvertently.
Before switching the control box on, check that nobody
is within the machine pivoting area: switching on the
control box can activate functions on the machine.
Precautions to take when using the control
box
Do not operate the control box while a person is carrying
out work on the machine.
Switch off control box before carrying out any
maintenance or repair work on the machine.
