Safety instruction

Operation
The implement should not be put into operation for the first time
until the user has been trained to use it.
The implement must not be used until instruction has been given by
distribution company employees, company representatives or manu-
facturer's employees. If initial operation is performed without instruc-
tion, damage to the implement can be caused by operating errors and
accidents can occur.
Ensure that the implement is in perfect working condition.
Do not operate the implement unless it is in perfect working condition.
Check all important components and replace any defective compo-
nents before starting the implement. Defect components can cause
damage to equipment and injury to persons.
Check the protective equipment
The guard devices must not be removed or by-passed. Check all pro-
tective equipment before starting the implement. Unguarded parts of
the implement can cause serious or fatal injuries.
No riding on the implement
Neither personnel nor objects are allowed to be transported on the im-
plement at any time. Riding on the implement is hazardous and strictly
prohibited.
Make sure the immediate vicinity is clear
Check the surrounding area of the implement before starting and con-
tinually during operation. Make sure the operator has an adequate
view of the work area. Only begin work if the immediate vicinity is
cleared of any persons or objects. There is otherwise the risk of seri-
ous or fatal injury.
Retighten all nuts, bolts and screws
Regularly check that the nuts, bolts and screws are fully tightened and
tighten them, if necessary. Screws can work loose when the imple-
ment is used. The consequence can be damage to the implement and
accidents.
Instructions in the event of malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, stop, shut down and secure the imple-
ment immediately. The malfunction may be eliminated immediately, or
your dealer must be assigned the task. Using a faulty implement can
cause accidents or damage.
The tractor's PTO shaft continues turning after it has been
switched off
After the tractor's PTO shaft has been unhitched or disconnected the
implement continues running due to inertia. Maintain a safe distance
until the pick-up equipment and all moving parts have come to a com-
plete standstill.
Cornering and turning manoeuvres
Centrifugal forces are in operation when cornering. The implement's
centre of gravity at the rear of the tractor is displaced. Be aware of the
turning radius and the moment of inertia. A driving style which is not
adapted to conditions can cause accidents. The consequence can be
accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
