•
Secure the tractor and the machine against unintentional rolling, before coupling or uncoupling the machine.
•
It is forbidden for people to stand between the machine to be coupled and the tractor, whilst the tractor is moving
towards the machine
•
Any helpers may only act as guides standing next to the vehicles, and may only move between the vehicles
when both are at a standstill.
•
Secure the operating lever of the tractor hydraulic system so that unintentional raising or lowering is impossible,
before connecting the machine to or disconnecting the machine from the tractor's three-point hydraulic system.
•
When coupling and uncoupling machines, move the support equipment (if available) to the appropriate position
(stability).
•
When actuating the support equipment, there is a danger of injury from contusion and cutting points.
•
Be particularly careful when coupling the machine to the tractor or uncoupling it from the tractor. There are
contusion and cutting points in the area of the coupling point between the tractor and the machine.
•
It is forbidden to stand between the tractor and the machine when actuating the three-point hydraulic system.
•
Coupled supply lines:
-
Must give without tension, bending or rubbing on all movements when travelling round corners.
-
May not scour other parts.
•
The release ropes for quick action couplings must hang loosely and may not release themselves when lowered.

Also ensure that uncoupled machines are stable
•
When coupling machines to the front or the rear of the tractor,the following may not be exceeded:
-
The approved total tractor weight
-
The approved tractor axle loads
-
The approved load capacities of the tractor tyres

•
Before moving off, always switch off the independent wheel braking (lock the pedals).
•
Ensure that the tractor has sufficient steering and braking power.
•
Any machines and front/rear weights connected to the tractor influence the driving behaviour and the steering
and braking power of the tractor.
•
If necessary, use front weights.
•
The front tractor axle must always be loaded with at least 20% of the empty tractor weight, in order to ensure
sufficient steering power.
•
Always fix the front or rear weights to the intended fixing points according to regulations.
