Safety
Wear safety shoes
During all work at the machine never bring your feet under the
machine and always wear safety shoes. Wearing safety shoes
prevents and decreases the risk of serious injuries.
Before hitching the machine always:
•
Prevent the tractor and machine from rolling away.
•
Switch off all hydraulic systems.
•
Switch off the tractor engine.
•
Remove the ignition key.
•
Never stand between the tractor and the machine during hitching.
In case of negligence serious or deadly injuries can occur.
Ensure the tractor is safe to use
Make sure that the tractor:
•
Is in safe and good operating condition.
•
Has adequate braking capabilities for the machine.
•
Is able to carry and transport the machine.
A tractor which is not in a proper working condition can cause serious
personal and material damages.
