Safety instruction
Check and fix the cardan shaft guard
The rotating cardan shaft is protected by the cardan shaft guard. En-
sure that the guard is not damaged. Fix the cardan shaft guard by con-
necting the chains on the implement and tractor faces. Unguarded
cardan shafts can cause life-threatening injuries.
Maximum cardan shaft speed 540 rpm
The prescribed maximum cardan shaft speed of 540 rpm must not be
exceeded. Higher rpm's can cause damage to the implement.
Unrestricted field of vision to the rear
Ensure that you have an unrestricted view of the implement which is
coupled when it is in both its work and transport positions. To do so,
use at least the panoramic mirror provided by the tractor manufactur-
er. Potential hazardous situations can be identified in plenty of time.
Accidents or damage may be caused.
Coupling
Increased risk of injury
When coupling the implement to the tractor, there is an increased risk
of injury. Therefore:
•
secure the tractor against rolling away, shut off the engine and take
out the ignition key.
•
Never stand between the tractor and the implement during cou-
pling.
•
Lock the cardan shaft securely to the PTO shaft end of the tractor
and implement.
•
If this is not complied with, the consequence can be damage to the
implement and even life-threatening injuries.
