Transport
Check the decoupling ropes of the quick coupling
The decoupling ropes must never be tense and must provide sufficient
freedom for movement, even with the power lift in the lowest position,
as it could otherwise accidentally disconnect the quick coupling.
Drive carefully
Driving behaviour, manoeuvrability and braking performance are
influenced by a trailed machine. When taking turns, pay attention to
the extended width/length (turning circle) and/or large mass
(sluggishness) of the machine. Ensure sufficient braking effect and
safe manageability!
Careless driving could lead to serious injury and damage to the
machine.
Adjust driving speed
High driving speeds and uneven surfaces on the road or field can put
considerable strain on the machine and cause the tractor or machine
to be overloaded, which could lead to damage. Always adjust the
driving speed to the conditions of the surroundings and the terrain!
When driving up and down hills and across slopes, do not make any
sudden turns!
On the field
Do not leave the driving cabin
Never leave the operator’s seat during operation or transport. The
driver can be in the danger zone of the tractor or the machine and
could not have a proper view of the immediate surroundings. This
could lead to injury to the driver or third parties.
Do not allow the machine to tilt
When driving up and down hills and across slopes, do not make any
sudden turns! Do not drive transversely on a slope at a steep angle.
Tilting can cause serious damage to the machine .
Blockage of a security device
In case a security device blocks or is activated, never work on the
machine without:
•
switching off the PTO shaft,
•
switching off the electric control system,
•
releasing the pressure from the hydraulic system,
•
switching off the tractor engine,
•
removing the key from the ignition,
•
engage the parking brake of the tractor.
