Each time the machine is used, carry out a careful visual inspection of the machine to detect any
external damage and ensure that the safety and protection devices are operating correctly. Also carry
out regular inspections of the various adjustments.
Do not approach the machine until all of the moving parts are completely immobile.
Enforce a 50-metre safety area around the machine.
With regard to driving
:
Adapt your driving to ensure that you are in control of the tractor with the machine mounted or hitched
under all circumstances.
Take into account your personal faculties, the conditions of the land or road, the traffic, the visibility
and the weather, the tractor’s driving characteristics and the conditions of use when the machine is
mounted or hitched.
Ensure that the rules of safety and caution dictated by each situation are applied.
The speed and driving style must always be appropriate to the land, roads and tracks.
Reduce your speed on uneven ground or tight corners.
On bends, take into account the overhang and the inertia of the mounted tool.
Avoid sudden changes of direction at all times.
Do not leave the driver's seat until the equipment has completely stopped, the engine is off and the
parking brake is on.
Do not transport any people or animals on the machine and the additional tools during work or
transport.
When driving on the public highway:
Comply with the highway code applicable in your country.
Before going out onto the public highway, check the dimensions of the machine and
unbolt or remove elements that exceed its regulatory dimensions.
Take into account the widths authorised for transport and the transported height depending on the
hitched machine, in line with current legislation.
Before setting off on the road, ensure that the hitched machine is fitted with the lighting and signalling
devices required by the highway code and any other devices required by the current regulations.
AGRISEM rear signalling lights and panels may be removed when working. Check that this signalling
equipment has been correctly refitted.
Check that the equipment is clean and operating correctly. Replace all missing or damaged
equipment.
Before travelling on the road, secure all of the machine's pivoting parts in their transport position to
avoid dangerous changes of position. Also check that the screws, nuts and bolts are tightened and
that all of the machine parts are correctly attached and cannot move or become detached.
If your machine is a folding machine, the locking system must be engaged.
Follow the instructions in this manual on how to prepare the machine for transport.
If necessary, also check:
-
The connection of the supply pipes;
-
The braking system and the hydraulic circuit.
If the equipment does not already have them, fit signalling devices: lighting board, reflectors, reflective
plates or adhesive strips.
