Safety
Observe the safety information
Observe the safety information. Disregard for safety information
can lead to serious or fatal injury. See chapter »Safety«, page 6.
No riding on the machine
Persons or objects must never be transported on the machine.
Carrying passengers on the machine is life threatening and prohi-
bited. It can result in serious or even fatal injury.
No persons in the working area
Ensure that no persons are present in the slewing and working
area of the machine. Persons could be caught by the machine
within this area. This could result in fatal injury.
Maximum PTO speed 540 rpm
The PTO shaft speed must not exceed 540 rpm and must be ad-
apted to the condition of the crop. Higher revolution rates can
cause damage to the machine.
Only allow the PTO shaft clutch to respond for a short time
Do not allow the slip clutch to respond for longer than 3 seconds.
If the clutch responds for a longer period of time, it will become
worn and the disconnect torque will drop.
Do not compress the PTO shaft
The PTO shaft between the tractor and machine must not be com-
pressed when in the work position or transport position. If com-
pressed, PTO shafts can cause damage to the machine and
tractor.
Observe the contour of the terrain
Pay even more attention when driving on an incline. Avoid inclines
on which the combination (tractor and machine) could slip or over-
turn. There is an increased risk of tipping and injury in a position
at right angles to the direction of the slope.
Changes in the centre of gravity
The machine's centre of gravity changes in the single rotor work
position. Pay even more attention when driving on an incline.
Avoid inclines on which the combination (tractor and machine)
could slip or overturn. There is an increased risk of tipping and
injury in a position at right angles to the direction of the slope.
