Ensure the minimum spacing
In work position the space between the cardan shaft and the pin must
never be less than 50 mm. Otherwise the cardan shaft can get dama-
ged, for example when driving over an undulation in the ground. Da-
maged cardan shafts can injure personnel and damage the imple-
ment.
Wheel wedges
Secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll forwards or
backwards
Never take away the wheel wedges, if the tractor is not otherwise safe-
guarded against rolling away. You could be rolled over by the imple-
ment or the tractor. The consequence would be serious injury.
> Remove wheel wedges from in front of the wheels
> Insert them into the holder next to the left-hand warning sign and
make sure that they engage securely
Rip chain for USA
