Coupling
Increased risk of injury
When the machine is being coupled to the tractor, there is an
increased risk of injury. Therefore:
•
Secure the tractor against rolling away, shut off the engine and
remove the ignition key.
•
Never stand between the tractor and machine.
•
Lock the PTO shaft securely on the PTO stub shafts of the tractor
and the machine.
If this requirement is ignored, the consequence may be damage to the
machine and even life-threatening injuries.
Attach electrical connections after fitting
The electrical supply to the tractor must not be connected when the
lighting equipment is being fitted. Otherwise, short circuits may occur
and the electronic system may be damaged.
Observe the operating manual of the PTO shaft manufacturer
Observe the operating manual of the PTO shaft manufacturer. It will
provide you with instructions on how to handle the PTO shaft correctly.
If these instructions are ignored, damage may be caused to the PTO
shaft and machine.
Risk of tipping
When the machine is coupled to tractors with lower link quick-release
couplings, the quick-release couplings must be secured against unin-
tentional opening. If the quick-release couplings open unintentionally,
the tractor and machine may tip over. If this requirement is ignored, the
consequence may be damage to the machine and even life
threatening injuries. Also follow the instructions in your tractor's
operating manual.
