Safety precautions
Prevent injuries
.
Do not
allow anyone to remain between the tractor and
the unit while it is being coupled or uncoupled.
Likewise,
do not
stand between the tractor and the
plough when operating the hydraulic external controls.
Before coupling or uncoupling, set the tractor’s
hydraulic lifting system to ”Position Control”.
Ensure before starting up at the beginning of each shift
that the tractor and plough are both in safe operating
condition.
The user is responsible for safety.
Ensure that there is sufficient space to manoeuvre, and
attach suitable and sufficient weights to the front of the
tractor to preserve steering stability and prevent the
tractor from rearing.
There is a danger of suffering crush injuries or
amputation in the area of the three-point linkage/plough
head stock, and also when carrying out width
adjustments or turning.
Ensure each time the plough is used, and while it is
being towed, that no one is standing nearby.
Never
allow anyone to climb onto or ride on the
plough, or remain in the danger area (swing-out zone).
Do not
carry out adjustment or maintenance tasks
before first lowering the unit on the ground.
Use the correct tools and wear suitable protective
gloves when fitting parts with cutting edges.
When working along the contour line of a steep slope,
take into account the centre of gravity when the plough
is raised.
Lock the hydraulic controls fitted to the tractor when
transporting the unit. This is to prevent accidental
activation.
Never
leave the tractor unattended without first
lowering the plough, cutting off the engine and removing
the ignition key.
Before starting up for the first time - and after any
prolonged period without use - check all screws and
bolts for tightness, ensure all bearings are sufficiently
greased, check the hydraulic system for leaks and
ensure the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure.
Warning notices
(pictograms)
Warning notices are used to indicate possible
hazards; their purpose is to help ensure the safety
of all those involved in operating the plough.
Please refer to the appendix entitled ”Pictogram
symbols” for an explanation of the warning notices.
See
Fig.1
(e.g. 3 = numbered series in the
explanation) for details of their locations.
Replace any missing warning notices. These items
can be ordered from RABE as spare parts.
