Before operation
Never operate farm machinery while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The physiological effects of drugs and alcohol impair performance and can
lead to operators taking risks or putting others at risk. This includes over-the-
counter cold/flu and allergy medications or prescription drugs that are not
recommended to be taken whilst driving a car or operating machinery.
The operator must ensure that the manufacturer’s instructions for attaching
and detaching the machine are followed. This includes the drawbar
attachment, the electric and hydraulic lines, in particular the lighting and brake
system.
The operator must ensure that all covers are closed and all safety devices are
in operating
mode.
The operator must ensure that there is no person in the ‘Danger Zone’.
Always be familiar with the health and safety requirements that may be in
force in the country of use.
During operation
While operating this machine on hilly or sloping ground the operator must take
extra precautions, in particular the ‘Danger Zone’ is increased in such
conditions.
Precaution must be taken when travelling over sloping or rough ground due to
the risk of overturning. Always travel at a speed suitable for the ground
conditions.
The operator must ensure that there is a minimum of 4 m clearance between
the machine and any obstacle above, in particular electrical high voltage lines.
Never operate the machine with guards or safety devices damaged or
missing.
Be careful when working with the cut & hold. Remember that the
accumulators are under pressure.
Avoid contact with the knife.
Do not attempt to clamp plastic film in the cut & hold mechanism.
Particular care must be taken, if the machine is left idle for any extended
period, to ensure that all sensors and safety features are working correctly.
WARNING: Do not carry people or animals on the machine
The operator must ensure that no persons or animals are carried on the
machine at any time or are hidden under the machine (on the tractor
persons are only allowed to sit on the relevant seats).
