∙
Correctly use the implement and its controls, do not let
untrained persons attempt to operate it.
∙ Do not extend the mechanical adjusting rods to avoid the risk
of threads being torn or spontaneous unscrewing.
∙ When working alone, the operator must be in his cab and
may never leave his seat. No-one may ride or stand on the
implement when it is in operation.
∙
Stop the implement if you notice unusual noises or vibrations.
Identify and eliminate the cause before resuming work.
a
CAUTION:
If the implement is equipped with a hydraulic folding
mechanism, only actuate this from the tractor cab.
Make sure that there is no possibility of anyone
being in the pivoting zone of the side sections or of
the rear accessories.
2.1.7 Transport on the public highway
∙
The implements must always be transported in accordance
with the applicable directives and regulations relating to the
prevention of accidents, road safety and occupational health.
∙ Before transporting the implement, ensure that the wheel
studs and the fixing bolts for tandem implements (if the
implement is equipped with the latter) are secure. Check the
pressure and condition of the tyres:
- Do not drive on roads with low pressures, or with damaged
tyres or wheel rims.
∙ During road transport, use all the lighting and signal devices
required by the law applicable in the country of use. If
required, they can be retracted during field work to avoid any
damage to them.
∙
The user is responsible for compliance with the applicable
regulations and keeping up to date with changes.
∙
Regularly check the condition and fixing of the hitching pins
and do not hesitate to replace them if they are worn.
The tractor hitch ball joints may also show signs of wear; do
not hesitate to replace them with new ones.
∙
Drive at a reasonable speed and in compliance with legislation
so that you are always in control of the hitched assembly. Be
especially careful in rough terrain or on slopes. Before starting
to drive downhill, shift into low gear.
∙ The tractor used for transporting the implement on road must
have the same weight and same power rating as that used for
field work.
∙ Never attempt manoeuvres when anyone else is in the vicinity
of the implement or the tractor.
∙
For implements equipped with a fold-in mechanism for
transport, make sure that no persons or objects are present
in the danger zone when the respective sections are being
folded in.
∙
Observe all the common sense rules when driving, especially
in bends in the road and where it is narrow.
∙ Take all required precautions before leaving the tractor. Apply
the parking brake, stop the engine and take out the ignition
key.
∙
It is prohibited for anyone to ride on the implement or between
the implement and tractor when driving on public highways.
2.1.8 Maintenance
∙
The maintenance area must be clean, dry, well ventilated and
well lit.
∙ If it is necessary to work on or remove an implement
subassembly in a raised position, prop up the implement in
a systematic manner by means of suitable and sufficiently
strong supports.
∙
For repairs to components under pressure or under tension
(accumulators, springs, etc.) refer to the specific procedures
and equipment. Such repairs must only be performed by
qualified persons.
∙ After the work is completed, make sure that all equipment and
tools used have been removed.
∙ Regularly check that the wheels studs, the lower fixing nuts for
wearing parts, screws and bolts are secure.
∙
Always use original replacement parts as only these meet the
manufacturer's technical specifications.
2.1.9 Loading and unloading
-
Loading and unloading with a tractor.
∙
Hitch the implement to or unhitch it from the tractor before
loading it onto a truck or unloading it from a truck.
∙
Loading and unloading the implement: an assistant is required
to guide the manoeuvres.
∙ Attach or remove the transport safety devices.
- Loading and unloading with the aid of a crane.
a

points with the aid of suitable fixings. Never stand
