DANGER
There is a risk of serious or even fatal injuries for people in the hazard zone.
The operator is obliged to immediately shut down the machine as soon as people
or animals enter the hazard zone or reach into the hazard zone with objects.
It is expressly prohibited to place sugar beets not having been lifted by the machine
into the machine manually or using tools, as long as the machine is running.
The engine must be shut down before maintenance and repair work and the igni-
tion key must be removed.
In all cases, please read the operating manual and comply with the safety instruc-
tions.
In the past, these activities have lead to severest accidents. Staying under lifted
machine parts or within the swivelling perimeter of machine parts is hazardous and
therefore prohibited.
ADVICE
We recommend that the operator of the machine informs all people present during lift-
ing about the possible hazards. You will find an information sheet for this purpose in
the appendix. When needed, you should copy this sheet and hand it out to the people
concerned. For your own safety and as protection against possible recourse (liability)
claims, you should obtain written confirmation about receipt of this sheet in the space
provided.
All parts of the machine which may cause specific hazards are additionally marked
using warning labels (pictographs). These pictographs point out possible hazards.
They form a part of this operating manual. They must always be kept in clean and well
legible condition. Damaged or illegible safety stickers must be replaced immediately.
The meaning of each individual pictograph is explained below. In addition, a six-fig-
ure number is given for each pictograph. This is the ROPA order number. Stating this
number, you may reorder the respective pictograph from ROPA. The number stated in
brackets is printed on the respective sticker. This enables simple allocation of the pic-
tograph to the order number and the explanation.
