Operation

Ensure that the machine is in perfect working condition

Do not operate the machine unless it is in perfect working condition.
Check all key components and their correct operation before use.
Replace defective components. Defective components can cause
material damage and personal injury.

Check the protective equipment

The protective equipment must not be removed or by-passed. Check
all protective equipment before using the machine. Unprotected
machine parts can cause serious or fatal injury.

Check the immediate vicinity

Check the area immediately surrounding the machine before driving
off, and continually during operation. Make sure that you have an
adequate view. Only begin work when the immediate vicinity is clear
of any persons or objects. Otherwise, serious or fatal injury may be
caused as a result.

Retighten all nuts, bolts and screws

Regularly check that nuts and bolts are correctly tightened. Retighten
bolts if necessary. Nuts and bolts can work loose when the machine is
used. Damage to the machine or accidents may be caused as a result.

The PTO shaft continues turning after it has been switched off

After the PTO stub shaft drive on the tractor has been switched off, the
machine continues to run due to the moment of inertia. Maintain a suf-
ficiently safe distance until all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill. Otherwise, damage to the machine and serious or fatal
injury may be caused as a result.

Cornering and turning manoeuvres

Centrifugal forces are in operation during cornering. The machine's
centre of gravity at the rear of the tractor is displaced. Be aware of the
turning radius and the moment of inertia. A driving style which is not
adapted to conditions can cause accidents. Accidents with serious or
fatal injuries may be caused as a result.
