Supplemental provisions
•
Ensure that the speed and the direction of rotation of the engine PTO shaft are
suitable for driving the implement before coupling an implement to the tractor.
•
Always switch off the engine PTO shaft and wait until the PTO shaft is no longer
turning when you leave the tractor or work on the connected implement.
Safety devices
Machines are equipped with various safety devices to protect people who work with a ma-
chine or are in the direct vicinity of the machine while working, to avoid premature wear and
also to prevent environmental damage. These safety devices are integral components of the
machine or the accessories; it is prohibited to manipulate or remove them. Missing or dam-
aged safety devices must be replaced immediately.
There are two types of safety devices: those that prevent contact with the hazard point, and
those that point out a hazard on the machine.
Hazards can also arise as a result of insufficient maintenance, so that warning notices are
also to be regarded as a type of safety notice.
Before each use of the machine, ensure that all of the safety devices de-
scribed here are complete and fully functional. Do not operate the implement
or accessories if any safety devices are missing or damaged.
