Hitching the implement
Safety
Increased risk of injury
When hitching the implement to the tractor, there is an increased risk
of injury. Therefore:
•
secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll forwards or back-
wards.
•
Switch off the engine.
•
Remove the ignition key.
•
Never stand between the tractor and the implement during hit-
ching.
•
Mount and secure the implement's cardan shaft to the tractor's
PTO shaft.
If this is not complied with, the consequence can be damage to the im-
plement and even life-threatening injuries.
Ensuring the tractor is safe to use
Ensure that the tractor
•
is safe and in good working condition,
•
has suitable brake mechanisms for the implement,
•
is able to transport the implement,
•
and that the implement can be hitched to it.
A tractor which is not in good working condition can cause serious in-
juries to personnel and damage to the equipment.
