2.2 Safety routines
Securing the tractor and implement
If the tractor and implement are not secured against unintentional starting and rolling away, the tractor and
implement can be set in motion in an uncontrolled manner, and can run over, crush and kill people.
Lower the raised implement or raised implement parts.
Relieve pressure in the hydraulic hose lines by actuating the operating devices.
If you have to stand under the raised implement or components,
secure the raised implement and components against lowering with a mechanical safety support or
hydraulic locking device.
Switch off the tractor.
Apply the tractor's parking brake.
Remove the ignition key.
Securing the machine
After uncoupling, the implement has to be secured. If the implement and implement parts are not secured,
there is a risk of personal injury due to crushing and cutting.
Only park the implement on stable and level ground.
Before you depressurise the hydraulic hose lines and disconnect them from the tractor,
move the implement into working position.
Protect people against direct contact with sharp-edged or protruding implement parts.
Make sure that the protective equipment is functional
If protective equipment is missing, damaged or removed, implement parts can cause serious personal
injury or even death.
Check the implement at least once a day for damage, proper installation, and functioning of the
protective equipment.
If you are not sure if the protective equipment is properly installed and functional,
have the protective equipment checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
Make sure that the protective devices are properly installed and functional before any work on the
implement.
Replace damaged protective equipment.
