•
regularly check the hydraulic and pneumatic connections and hoses,
•
do not use the implement until the hydraulic or pneumatic system is repaired.

Transport safety on public roads
For transport, the side sections of the GAL 4.0 H, GAL 5.0 H, GAL 6.0 H disc
harrow should be folded into the transport position by means of a hydraulic system. Before
folding, the machine must be lifted sufficiently high until the folded side sections do not
collide with the ground.
The disc harrow must be protected against unfolding by means of the mechanical lock.
GAL disc harrows equipped with a chassis – the wheels should be lowered to a degree
where the side sections do not interfere with the ground when folded.
While in transport, the clearance under the machine must be at least 30 cm.
While transporting the implement on public roads, it is absolutely mandatory to use lights,
an identification sign and reflective side lights.
Do not exceed the maximum travel speeds:
–
up to 20 km/h on smooth (asphalt) roads,
–
6-10 km/h on dirt roads or cobblestones,
–
up to 5 km/h on bumpy roads.
After folding the machine, slide the rollers together and secure them with bolts in the
ladders in order to achieve a smaller transport width.
Travelling speed must be adapted to the road and the existing conditions so that the disc
harrow cannot jump on the tractor suspension system and excessive loads on the machine
frame and the tractor suspension system can be avoided.
Act with due caution when passing and overtaking or travelling at curves. The maximum
implement width on public roads is 3.0 m.
Do not drive with the implement if the slope is inclined crosswise to the implement by
more than 7°.
WARNING! Any failure to observe the above rules may pose hazard to the
operator and other people. It may also result in damaging the machine. The
user shall be liable for any damage caused by failure to observe the rules!

Residual risk description
Mandam Sp. z o.o. makes every effort to eliminate the risk of accidents. However,
there is some residual risk that may result in an accident. The biggest hazard occurs
when/during:
•
using the implement for purposes other than described in the manual,
•
operating the implement by people who are underage and do not have licences, are
ill or intoxicated,
•
presence of people and animals within the implement operating range,
•
precautionary measures are not taken during transport and maneouvering with the
tractor,
•
staying on the implement or between the tractor and the implement when the
engine is running;
•
during operation when operation guidelines are not followed,
