Safety
15
Do not remove the protective equipment
Protective equipment must not be removed or by-passed. Check all
protective equipment before starting the machine. Unprotected machi-
ne components can cause severe or fatal accidents.
Checking tyre pressures
Check tyre pressure regularly. If the tyre pressure is too high or too
low, this can reduce the service life of the tyre and result in undesira-
ble work results. Accidents might occur during road transport.
Riding on the machine is strictly prohibited
Do not transport people or objects on the machine. Riding on the ma-
chine is hazardous and strictly prohibited.
Height of machine and overhead power lines
If a height of 4.00 m is exceeded when folding the machine in and out,
the machine must not be folded in the vicinity of conducting overhead
power lines! Danger of electrocution! Should the machine come into
contact with an overhead power line:
•
Do not attempt to climb out of the tractor cabin
•
Do not touch any metal parts on the tractor
•
Do not create any conductive contact with the ground
•
Warn all persons in the area not to approach the tractor or the ma-
chine
•
Wait for help from professional emergency service personnel as
power in the overhead line must first be switched off
Never climb onto the machine if it is beneath conducting overhead po-
wer lines. The voltage can jump even if the lines are not actually tou-
ching the machine.
Make sure the immediate vicinity is clear
Before starting up, folding out the machine, and using it, check the
vicinity of the machine. Make sure the operator has an adequate view
of the work area. Do not begin work until the immediate vicinity is clea-
red of any persons or objects. Any use of the machine without verifi-
cation of the situation around it can lead to accidents.
Retighten all nuts, bolts and screws
Nuts, bolts and screws should be checked at regular intervals and
tightened if necessary. Screws can come loose unnoticed while ope-
rating. Damage can occur to the machine or injury to persons.
What to do in the event of a malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, shut down and secure the machine im-
mediately. The malfunction may be eliminated immediately, or your
dealer must be assigned the task. Further operation of the machine
can lead to damage to the machine or injury to persons.
