Safety precautions
DO NOT allow anyone to stand between the tractor
and the implement during coupling or uncoupling.
Note that this includes stepping between the tractor
and implement to operate the external hydraulic
controls (risk of injury).
Set the tractor’s control hydraulics to ”position
control” before coupling and uncoupling.
The operator is responsible for ”safety”. Before
operating the tractor and the implement, ensure that
they are both in safe operating and transport
condition.
Ensure that the tractor can be steered safely by
attaching an adequate counterweight to the front of
the tractor if necessary.
Note that there is a danger of crushing and cutting
injuries occurring in the area of the three-point
linkage and the collapsible side sections.
Before moving or operating the implement (folding in
/ out), always check to ensure that no one is
standing within its turning circle or operating area.
Beware of after-running roller segments when the
implement is lifted at the end of a fast run; do not
approach until the rollers have come to a complete
stop.
DO NOT stand or ride on the implement or remain
within its turning circle or operating area.
Disable the tractor’s hydraulic control system to
prevent accidental operation while the implement is
being towed.
Before leaving the tractor unattended, lower the
implement, switch off the engine and remove the
ignition key.
Always lower the implement before carrying out any
adjustments or maintenance work.
Take the centre of gravity into account when folding
in or transporting the implement on steep slopes
(along the contour line).
Never fold in or fold out the implement when
dismantled!
Before operating for the first time – or after long
downtimes – check all screws and bolts for
tightness, ensure that all bearings are adequately
greased and examine the hydraulic system for
leaks.
