General safety instructions

Groundkeeper GHD SMARTCUT BAF0007.2 02.21
•
Be particularly careful when coupling the machine to the tractor
or uncoupling it from the tractor! There are nip and shear points
in the area of the coupling point between the tractor and the ma-
chine.
•
It is forbidden to stand between the tractor and the machine
when actuating the three-point hydraulic system.
•
Coupled supply lines:
o
Must give without tension, bending or rubbing on all move-
ments when travelling round corners.
o
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!
Use of the machine
•
Before starting work, ensure that you understand all the equip-
ment and actuation elements of the machine and their function.
There is no time for this when the machine is already in opera-
tion!
•
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing! Loose clothing increases the
risk over being caught by drive shafts!
•
Only start-up the machine, when all the safety equipment has
been attached and is in the safety position!
•
Once connected/attached, observe the maximum load of the
machine and the approved axle, support and attachment loads
of the tractor. If necessary, drive only with a partially-filled hop-
per.
•
It is forbidden to stand in the working area of the machine.
•
It is forbidden to stand in the turning and rotation area of the
machine.
•
There are contusion and cutting points at externally-actuated
(e.g. hydraulic) machine points.
•
Only actuate externally-actuated machine parts when you are
sure that there is no-one within a sufficient distance from the
machine!
•
Secure the tractor against unintentional start-up and rolling be-
fore you leave the tractor.
For this:
o
Lower the machine onto the ground
o
Apply the parking brake
o
Switch off the tractor engine
o
Remove the ignition key
