Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft.
When changing tractors, always check the length of the power
take-off shaft. If too long, it may damage both tractor and machine.
The use of incorrect power take-off shafts that do not meet with specifications is strictly
forbidden.
Ensure power take-off guards are correctly mounted and in good order and firmly fixed to the
tractor.
The use of damaged or defective power take-off guards is strictly forbidden.
Purchase a new power take-off guard if the old one is defective.
Lifting and lowering of the machine.
Be careful when lifting and lowering the machine/machine part.
Stability.
The machine must not be operated with a tractor that does not weigh enough over the
front/rear axle so that tractor stability is affected. At least 20% of the tractor weight shall rest on
the front axle to ensure tractor steering and braking ability.
Mount ballast weights if necessary, see tractor instruction manual.
Apply the support legs when working with the grapple loader (consider retrofitting if not
mounted) and first load the smallest and closest logs so that the trailer attains good stability
before starting to load the heaviest logs.
Operating the Machine.
Take great care when working on uneven ground conditions, close to
ditches and fences, look out for hidden dangers and adapt your working rate.
Great care should be observed when working on steep slopes:
Try to drive in the same direction as the incline and not across it.
Avoid fast starts and heavy braking when driving the machine up and down inclines.
If it is absolutely necessary to drive across steep inclines then reduce your speed and watch out
for unevenness, avoid sudden turns and be aware of the shift in centre of gravity that occurs
when lifting mounted tools.
Hold onto the steering wheel tightly if the tractor should overturn.
Operating at Night.
The work area must be illuminated when working in the dark.
Driver.
Operators who are tired, intoxicated, drugged or under the influence in any other way so
that they cannot control their movements must not use the machine.
The machine may only be operated by one person sitting in the tractor, no passengers are allowed.
It is forbidden for people without a tractor driving licence to use the machine.
Personal protective equipment.
Protective equipment such as helmets, protective goggles,
protective shoes and gloves are recommended for personnel during assembly, operation,
adjustment and maintenance. Keep the tractor door and windows closed when working in dusty
conditions. Under certain conditions, noise levels may rise above 90dB so keep tractor doors
and windows closed, use hearing protection.
Protective Cab.
The machine should only be driven by a tractor equipped with an approved
protective cab. Keep doors and windows close while working.
All moving parts, including engine, must be stationary and the handbrake applied before the
tractor driver leaves the cab. The rear window and the rear side windows of the cab must be
made of safety glass or be equipped with protective bars when working with a grapple loader.
Maintenance.
Inspect, adjust and maintain the machine according to the directions.
Regular Inspection.
Inspect the entire machine regularly. Locate any loose, worn and damaged
components and leaks.
