Safety
Road transport
Make sure that the condition of the machine conforms to traffic
regulations
The machine must conform to current traffic regulations if you intend
to drive it on public roads. These include, for example:
•
Lights, warning equipment and protective equipment are installed
•
The permissible transport width and weight, axle loads, tyre load-
bearing capacity and total weights are observed
The driver and owner of the vehicle are liable if traffic regulations are
not observed.
Close the ball valves
If there are ball valves on the hydraulic lines or chassis cylinders, you
must close them prior to road transport. The accidental actuation of
control valves on the tractor might otherwise cause movements on the
machine. This can result in damage to the machine or accidents.
Check remote cord for the quick release coupling
Remote cords must hang loose and must not, when in their lowered
position, release the couplings of their own accord. Coupled machines
might otherwise come loose from the three-point linkage of their own
accord.
Riding on the machine is strictly prohibited
Do not transport people or objects on the machine. Riding on the ma-
chine is hazardous and strictly prohibited.
Note the altered driving and braking performance
Driving and braking performance are altered when the machine is at-
tached to the tractor. Take the width and balancing weight of the ma-
chine into consideration, especially when cornering. A driving style
which not adjusted to the road conditions can lead to accidents.
Moderate your speed
Always adjust your driving speed to the road conditions. If conditions
are poor and your speed is too high, extremely high forces can arise
that place a major load on the tractor and machine and might over-
stress them. Travelling at an inappropriate speed can result in machi-
ne damage and accidents.
Putting the ma-
chine into opera-
tion
Initial operation after briefing
The machine must not be put into operation until the user has been
given proper initial instruction by an employee of the dealer, a factory
representative, or an employee of the manufacturer. Commissioning
without instruction can lead to damage to the machine due to false
operation or accidents can happen.
Ensure that the machine is in perfect working condition
Do not operate the machine unless it is in perfect working condition.
Check all important components and replace any defective compon-
ents before starting the machine. Defect components can cause da-
mage to equipment and injury to persons.
