Safety

Unrestricted field of vision to the rear
After it has been coupled, ensure that you have an unrestricted view
of the machine, in both its work and transport positions. Otherwise,
dangerous situations may not be detected in good time. Accidents or
damage may be caused as a result.
Make sure the machine is standing level
Before changing from the transport to the work position (and vice
versa), make sure the machine is standing level. The machine could
tip over, particularly on hillside locations. Damage to the machine and
serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Never work on the machine while it is running
No operations may be performed on the machine while it is running.
Objects or persons can be caught, drawn in or crushed. Serious or
fatal injury can result.
Do not make any modifications to the machine
No modifications of any kind may be made to the machine. Unau-
thorised modifications can adversely affect the correct operation and
safety of the machine and shorten its service life. Unauthorised mod-
ifications to the machine render the manufacturer's guarantee null and
void and free the manufacturer from all liability.
Switch off the tractor PTO shaft drive
Switch off the tractor's PTO shaft drive, especially if people could enter
the working area of the machine when you
•
raise the machine,
•
switch from the work position to the transport position (and vice
versa),
•
reverse the vehicle in the work position
Rotating, unprotected parts can damage the machine and cause life-
threatening injuries.
Coupling
Increased risk of injury
Coupling the machine to the tractor creates an increased risk of injury.
Therefore:
•
Secure the tractor against rolling away
•
The tractor and machine categories must be the same
•
Never stand between the tractor and the machine during coupling
•
Actuate the three-point power lift system slowly and carefully
Failure to observe these instructions may result in serious or fatal in-
juries.
