Never start the tedder if any people or animals are around the tedder
Never start the tedder when it is lifted.
Always follow safety labels describing hazards, and warning signs placed on the machine
Before starting the tractor make sure that each drive is disconnected and control levers for
hydraulics are in neutral position
Do not drive the tedder backwards when operating
Never get onto the tedder
Never stand between the tractor and the tedder, unless the tractor-tedder aggregate is protected
against moving with the tractor's parking brake
Any inspections and adjustments may be conducted only when the tedder is disconnected from
the tractor and on the ground
For repairs or adjustments to be done under the tedder make sure to secure it against falling
using a proper support
If any part of the tedder needs to be replaced, use only original spare parts according to spare
part list
Pay particular attention to PTO shaft guards and tedder and tractor spline shaft guards. Never
operate with damaged guards.
Hydraulic hoses are potentially very dangerous. Do the following to minimize any hazards:
Hydraulic hoses should be periodically checked and if any damage to the hoses have
occurred or if they have been used more than 5 years, replace with new ones.
Never use scotch tape to repair hydraulic hoses.
When connecting hydraulic hoses to tractor’s hydraulic connectors, make sure that
the tractor’s or tedder’s hydraulic system is not under pressure.
When servicing hydraulic unit, always wear protective gloves and eyewear.
Hydraulic oil leaking under pressure (16MPa) may permeate through the skin and
cause its infection thereafter. If this is the case, immediately visit a doctor.
The tedder should be stored under a roof and in such way so as to effectively prevent animals
and people from being injured
Before starting the tedder, make sure there are no animals underneath the guard
Before operating the tedder, make sure all safety devices are in place and working. If not
working or damaged have them replaced
Before any maintenance, assembly, disassembly works and when parking position the machine
on a solid ground and secure it against accidental movements.
When cleaning the machine, use personal protective equipment for health protection.
Do not leave agricultural machinery on slopes or other descents without providing protection
against free runaway.
When operating on a stony field or nearby roads there is a risk of throwing out stones or other
objects which may pose a danger for passing-by vehicles on the road or for passers-by.
Therefore keep the safe distance.
If any break in the equipment operation occurs, turn off the drive. Before leaving the tractor turn
off the engine and remove the ignition key, leave the cabin and make sure there are no
unauthorized personnel in the cabin and close the door.
The operator is not allowed to leave the tractor while driving.
In case of a major failure, stop the machine's drive, turn off the tractor's engine and remove the
ignition key. Next, please contact technical service, and if accident (i.e.: road accident) occurs,
respect first aid rules and call appropriate authorities.
Keep the tedder clean, so as to avoid a risk of fire.
Rotating spring tines and other rotary elements present a danger to health and life of persons
present nearby the machine. Do not touch any moving machine parts
Check pressure in the machine wheels regularly.
In the event of any break in the equipment operation, turn off the drive.
