Safety
18
The PTO shaft continues turning after it has been switched off
After the PTO stub shaft drive on the tractor has been switched off, the
machine continues to run due to the moment of inertia. Maintain a suf-
ficiently safe distance until all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill. Damage to the machine and serious or fatal injury may be
caused as a result.
Cornering and turning manoeuvres
Centrifugal forces are active during cornering. The machine's centre
of gravity at the rear of the tractor is displaced. Be aware of the turning
radius and the moment of inertia. A driving style which is not adapted
to conditions can cause accidents. Accidents with serious or fatal
injuries may be caused as a result.
Uncoupling
Increased risk of injury
Uncoupling the machine creates an increased risk of injury. Therefore:
•
Secure the tractor against rolling away
•
Never stand between the tractor and the machine during uncou-
pling.
•
Actuate the three-point power lift system slowly and carefully
•
Ensure the machine is standing on a secure and even ground
•
Place the PTO shaft in the holder provided
•
Secure the machine against rolling away (use wheel chocks)
•
Ensure that the sustainers provided are securely locked
•
Only uncouple the hydraulic hoses if the tractor and machine hy-
draulic system is depressurised
•
Disconnect the electrical connections
Failure to observe these instructions may result in serious or fatal in-
juries.
Care and mainte-
nance
Observe the care and maintenance intervals
Observe the prescribed intervals for maintenance checks and inspec-
tions specified in the operating manual. Failure to observe the time pe-
riods can result in damage to the machine, poor work quality and ac-
cidents.
Replacement parts and accessories
Only use original parts or parts that meet the manufacturer's require-
ments. In case of doubt, confirm the suitability of the parts with the
dealer or manufacturer. Using unsuitable replacement parts and ac-
cessories compromises the safety of the machine. Damage to the ma-
chine and serious accidents may occur.
