Fault elimination
Faults
Faults can often be eliminated quickly and easily. Before contacting
Customer Service, refer to the table to check whether you can remedy
the fault yourself.
In case of a fault, proceed as follows:
Immediately stop operation.
Switch off the tractor PTO shaft drive.

The fault must be repaired before work can be resumed. Otherwise,
damage to the machine and serious or fatal injury may be caused as
a result.
