SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions are for your safety. They must be read carefully
and followed by every person who operates or maintains the machine. Failure to follow these
safety precautions could result in serious injury or death to the operator, maintenance person or
bystanders and property damage to the machine and surrounding property.
4.1. Safety rules and regulations
Front axis of the tractor should be balanced to enable its steering. If necessary, use front wheel
weights.
In order to keep steering conditions, make sure that impact on the front axis is at least 20% of
the complete impact on the tractor.
Any operation with the hydraulic lift lever should be done from the operator's seat; never
operate the lever from outside of the tractor.
For tractors equipped with EHR, control with hydraulic lift is done with a button located outside
the tractor's cabin. When operating, please exercise particular caution.
When mounting the tedder on a tractor, risk of wounding is likely. It is recommended that
operator wears protective gloves.
Do not operate without safety guards. Neither operation with damaged nor raised guard is
allowed (risk of stones, etc. being thrown out). Damaged safety curtain should be replaced.
Please make sure that no unauthorized personnel remains within the danger area of at least 170
ft (50m). Keep particular caution when operating near roads and in stony areas.
IMPORTANT:
Maintenance and adjustment should ONLY be done after the following has
occurred:
tractor’s engine has been stopped and ignition key has been taken out,
all rotating parts have come to complete standstill (NOTE: arms will rotate for several
minutes after engine is turned off).
Before starting work and periodically thereafter, replace any damaged, missing and/or worn
tines.
Perform any maintenance and adjustment work only when the drive is disconnected and rotor
has stopped completely.
When driving on public roads always comply with local traffic regulations, especially on the
warning lights.
CAUTION!
Make sure to perform any service and repair operations with the tractor drive
shut off and after all rotating parts have stopped completely.
WARNING!
Keep children away from the tedder when operating and idle.
Check bolts and other fasteners regularly. Do not operate with damaged or worn fasteners.
Locking pawl line should be mounted with relevant tolerance in the tractor cabin.
Do not leave a running tractor without supervision. Before leaving the tractor turn off the engine
and remove the ignition key
If any break in the machine operation occurs, turn off the drive
Tractor cooperating with the tedder should be equipped with a driver's cabin
Tedder should not be operated when the tractor-tedder aggregate is not well balanced
