Operating the device safely
3.11.1 General information
Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all equipment and actuating ele-
ments as well as their functions!
Do not operate the device until all protective devices have been attached and
are in the safety position!
Always attach the device in accordance with the regulations and only on the
stipulated devices.
Always exercise extreme caution when mounting the device on or removing it
from the tractor!
In the area of the three-point linkage there is a risk of injury from crushing
and/or shearing!
Before mounting the device on or removing it from the three-point linkage, move
the operating equipment into the position which prevents the device from being
uninitentionally raised or lowered!
When actuating the external control for the three-point attachment, do not walk
between the tractor and device!
It is prohibited to be within the hazardous area of the machine and to climb up
on the implement while it is operating!
In the wider operating range of the device there is a risk of injury, e.g. from
ejected stones!
Before actuating hydraulic equipment (such as flap devices), ensure that there
is nobody in the flap area! Risk crushing and/or shearing by remote power op-
erated parts!
Never stand between tractor and device. This is only permitted when the tractor
is secured against rolling away by the parking brake and the chocks!
Always keep the device in a clean state to prevent the risk of fire!
Before leaving the tractor, deposit the device on the ground! Switch off the en-
gine and remove the ignition key!
