Children in danger
Children are not able to assess dangers and may
behave unpredictably. Children are therefore
especially endangered:
¾
Keep children away from the machine.
¾
Especially before driving off and before trig
-
gering machine movements you must make
sure that the danger zone is free of children.
¾
Shut down the tractor before leaving it.
Children can trigger dangerous machine
movements. An insufficiently secured ma
-
chine parked without being attended poses
a danger for playing children!
Personal
protective outfit
Missing or incomplete protective equipment
increases the risk of health damage. Personal
protective equipment includes, e.g.:
¾
tight fitting clothes / protective clothing, pos
-
sibly a hair net
¾
Safety shoes
¾
Safety gloves
¾
safety goggles to protect the eyes against
dust or spray, when working with fertiliser or
liquid fertiliser (follow the instructions of the
fertiliser manufacturer)
¾
respirator masks and protective gloves when
handling dressing or dressed seed (follow
the instructions of the pickling agent manu-
facturers)
¾
Determine the personal protective equipment
for the corresponding work assignment.
¾
Provide effective protective equipment in
proper condition.
¾
Never wear rings, bracelets or other jewellery.
Safety in traffic
DANGER
No passengers are allowed to ride on the
machine!
¾
Pay attention to the permissible transport
widths and heights. Pay attention to the trans-
port height when passing under bridges and
low hanging overhead power lines.
¾
Do not exceed the permissible axle load, tyre
load bearing capacity and total weight, in order
to ensure sufficient steering and braking capa
-
bilities. The front axle must be loaded with at
least 20 % of the tractor weight.
¾
For machines without brake select the weight
of the tractor and the speed so that the ma-
chine can be managed securely under all
conditions.
For road transport the machine must be set to
transport position. The machine must be folded
up and secured, see chapter
Folding
,
Connecting
and
Transport position
.
¾
Clean soil from the folding areas before fold-
ing up. Otherwise there could be damage to
the mechanics.
¾
If present: Secure the hydraulic cylinders on
undercarriage and drawbar in transport posi-
tion against uncontrolled movements using
aluminium clips, see chapter
Connecting
and
Transport position
.
¾
Assemble lighting, warning and protective
features and check the function.
¾
Before road travel clean the entire machine
from picked up dirt.
Handling is affected by the connected equip
-
ment.
¾
Pay particular attention to the wide overhang
and the centrifugal mass of the working imple-
ment when cornering.
