Hitching the
machine
Increased danger of injury
While hitching the machine onto the tractor an increased danger of
injury occurs. Therefore:
•
prevent the tractor from rolling away, shut down the engine and
remove the ignition key
•
never stay between tractor and machine during hitching
•
mount and secure the pto drive shaft at the pto
In case of negligence damages to the machine or serious personal
injuries can occur.
Pto drive shaft operation manual
Regard to the operation manual of the pto drive shaft manufacturer.
Here you find instructions for correct handling of the pto drive shaft.
Negligence can lead to damages at the pto drive shaft and to the
machine.
Fix and check pto drive shaft protection
The rotating pto drive shaft is secured by a pto drive shaft protection.
Take care that the pto drive shaft protection is not damaged. Pto drive
shaft protection must be fixed through the chains, both at tractor and
machine side. Unprotected pto drive shafts can cause serious
personal injuries.
Hydraulics
Hydraulic couplings only pressureless
Only couple the hydraulic hoses to the tractor when both tractor and
machine hydraulics are pressureless. Hydraulics under pressure can
cause accidental movements of the machine.
High pressure in the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. All tubes, hoses and
couplings must be controlled regularly for leaks and external
damages. Only use suitable tools when searching for leaks.
Immediately repair damages. Leaking oil can cause injuries and fire.
When having injuries visit a doctor immediately.
