General information
This section contains general instructions on the intended use of the implement as well as notes on safety
which you should follow absolutely to ensure your own safety! This list is very long, some of the notes are not
only relevant for the delivered implement. However, the summary reminds of safety rules for the daily
operation of machines and implements which are often involuntarily disregarded.
General notes on safety
During coupling and uncoupling, no person may stand between the tractor and the implement; Also do not
step between the tractor and the implement when operating the external hydraulics control! Risk of injury!
Set tractor hydraulics to „position control“ before coupling and uncoupling!
Check tractor and implement for operational and traffic safety prior to every operation; the
operator is responsible for the „safety“! Ensure sufficient steering safety; if necessary
install front weights at the tractor!
In the area of the three-point linkage beware of the hazards of crunching and shearing zones! Prior to
operating or starting the implement, take care that no person is in the area of the implement!
Mounting and riding on the implement and staying in danger area are prohibited! Keep distance!
Prior to leaving the tractor, lower the implement, switch off engine and take out ignition key! Settings
and maintenance must only be done when the implement is lowered! All safety implements must be installed
completely during operation!
Take the position of the centre of gravity into consideration when lifting in steep hillside locations (on contour
lines).
During transport, lock tractor hydraulics control devices against involuntary operation! Prior to the first use
– and after extended non-use – check all bearings for sufficient lubrication and tightness of all screws!
