2.1 Safety instructions
2.1.1 General instructions
a
CAUTION:
The risks of accidents during use, maintenance or
repair of the implement can be reduced if you follow
the safety instructions and preventative measures
described in this manual.
∙
Only the operations and manoeuvres described in this manual
may be performed. The manufacturer is not able to predict
all possible situations involving risks. As a result, the safety
instructions described in the manual and on the implement are
not exhaustive.
∙
As a user, you must make reasonable allowance for possible
risks to yourself, others and implement while you are using it.
a
CAUTION:
Non-observance of safety and usage instructions,
repair or maintenance instructions for your
implement can result in serious, even fatal
accidents.
2.1.2 Operator qualification
∙
The implement may only be used, serviced or repaired by
persons who are familiar with its specific characteristics and
with the corresponding operational safety modes.
∙
Before using your implement, familiarise yourself with all the
controls and with its proper operation.
2.1.3 Hitching and unhitching the implement
∙ If there is only one operator, then the driver himself is
responsible for hitching and unhitching the implement. Use the
external lift controls.
∙
Make sure that no-one can get between the tractor and the
implement or come close to the implement during the hitching
and unhitching operations.
∙ Before getting out of the cab to hitch or unhitch the implement,
apply the parking brake, stop the engine and take out the
tractor ignition key.
∙ Before hitching your implement, make sure that there are no
signs of wear, incipient cracks or any incompatibility with your
tractor on the hitching pins, draw bar hitches or the ball joints.
∙
Depressurise the hydraulic circuit before connecting or
disconnecting the hydraulic couplings.
∙
Connect or disconnect the electrical connections.
∙
Completely lower the implement to the ground before
unhitching it. Make sure that the surface is level and
sufficiently firm to ensure that the implement is perfectly stable
during storage.
∙ If your implement is parked, make sure that it is stable to avoid
the possibility of physical injury or material damage.
2.1.4 Hydraulic circuit and couplings
a
CAUTION:
The hydraulic circuit is subject to high pressures.
∙
If hydraulic fluid should escape, avoid any direct contact with
the hydraulic fluid. The pressurised oil can penetrate the skin
and cause fatal injuries. Immediately consult a doctor in the
event of injury.
∙ Observe the order of assembly of the hydraulic couplings.
Ensure that the tractor couplings are properly positioned
horizontally or vertically.
∙
Before connecting the hydraulic circuit, clean the couplings on
the tractor and implement, and check that the pressure is zero
both on the tractor and implement side.
∙
Replace damaged or used hydraulic lines, observing the
dimensional specifications.
∙
For all actions on the hydraulic system, set the implement
down on the ground, depressurise the hydraulic circuit, stop
the tractor engine and actuate the hydraulic valves.
2.1.5 Pneumatic circuit and couplings
∙
Observe the order of assembly of the pneumatic couplings.
∙
Before connecting the pneumatic circuit, clean the couplings
on the tractor and implement, and check that the pressure is
zero both on the tractor and implement side.
∙
Replace damaged or used pneumatic lines, observing the
dimensional specifications.
∙ Before working on the pneumatic system, set the implement
down on the ground and depressurise the pneumatic circuit.
2.1.6 Use of the implement
∙
This implement is exclusively designed for standard
agricultural work. Any other use is considered to be contrary to
the implement's normal use and is thus prohibited.
∙
Do not attempt to adjust an implement when this is in motion.
∙
Do not enter the pivoting range of bolted, hydraulic or
mechanical locking elements.
∙
Wear clothing and personal protection equipment suited to
the work to be performed (thick leather gloves, safety boots,
protective glasses, …).
∙ Create a safety perimeter for other persons.
∙ Do not perform any adjustment work without first having
perfectly understood the required procedure.
∙
Use suitable tools or equipment for the work to be performed.
