Preparing for operation
Safety
The following applies to all preparations for use:
Observe safety instructions
Observe the safety instructions for the performance of all work. Any
disregard for safety instructions can lead to serious or fatal injuries to
persons.
Switch off the tractor and secure it
Before you dismount, switch off the tractor and secure it against rolling
away. An unsecured implement can run you over or trap you and cause
very serious injuries.
Avoid the danger zone
The rotors are a danger zone. Do not stand in the danger zone. Rotors
may drop or turn. This can lead to serious or fatal injuries.
Securing the implement
Secure the implement against accidental start-up and rolling away
(use wheel wedges). The implement must be standing on firm and lev-
el ground and, if necessary, must be supported during work. Unse-
cured or non-supported implements can cause accidents.
