Operation and protective de-
vices
Before you start work
Familiarize yourself with the equipment
and operating elements and their func-
tions. Above all, learn how to turn the
engine off quickly and safely in an
emergency!
Ensure that all protective devices are
mounted and properly adjusted!
If no add-on device is attached, the PTO
shaft must be switched off and covered
with the protective cap.
Suitable shoes must be worn depending
on the type of ground surface (vegeta-
tion, humidity ...), so that the operator
does not slip or fall.
Startup
Do not start the engine in closed rooms,
the exhaust fumes contain carbon mon-
oxide, which is very toxic if inhaled!
Before starting the engine, set all operat-
ing elements to neutral or idle position.
Do not step in front of the machine or
the add-on device to start the engine.
Operation
Never leave the operator's position at
the steering bar while working.
Never adjust operator bars while work is
in progress – risk of accident!
For all work with the device, especially
when turning, the machine operator
must maintain the distance from the
device shown by the bars.
Riding on the implement during opera-
tion or in transport is not permitted.
In the event of any clogging to the work
equipment or add-on device, the engine
must be stopped and the work equip-
ment or add-on device must be cleaned
with appropriate tools. There may be
tension in the drive train as a result of
the blockage, which is why you should
resolve the blockage carefully.
In the event of any damage to the ma-
chine or the add-on device, shut down
the engine immediately and have the
damage repaired.
In the event of any malfunctions to the
steering, stop and park the machine
immediately. Have the fault resolved
without delay.
If there is a risk of skidding down on
sloping terrain, then the machine must
be held by an attendant using a bar or a
rope. The attendant must be located
above the machine at a safe distance
from the work equipment.
Work across the slope along contour
lines if possible. If possible, turn the
machine in uphill direction.
Finishing work
Never leave the machine unsupervised
while the engine is running.
Switch the engine off before leaving the
machine. Then close the fuel tap(s) (if
present).
Take care not to park the hot machine in
the blazing sun.
Protect the machine against unauthor-
ized use. In ignition key models, remove
the ignition key; otherwise, remove the
spark plug connector.
Implements
Attach an implement only when engine
and implement drive are switched off.
Prior to attaching and starting the im-
plement, read and observe the operating
instructions of the implement.
Use adequate tools and wear gloves to
replace implements and parts thereof.
Put the supporting equipment to the
proper position and ensure stability
when you attach or remove an imple-
ment.
Secure machine and implements against
rolling away (parking brake - if installed,
wheel chocks).
