WARNING!
Always carry out safe maintenance. Before attempting any repair or maintenance to the
machine, always switch off the tractor engine and remove the P.T.O. shaft. Do not work under any
machine raised on hydraulics unless it is supported by a solid safety support.

of dust and flying debris from entering. In dusty conditions the use of a suitable mask, to EN 149, is
strongly recommended.

Certain tractor implement combinations, dependant on operating conditions, may generate
a noise level in excess of 90db at the operator’s ear, even in a 'Q' cab. In these circumstances ear
defenders should be worn. Keep cab windows and doors closed at all times to reduce noise levels.
