Preparation
1.
Never commission the machine before you have read and fully
understood this manual, the manual of the tractor and all safety
messages and decals on the tractor and the machine.
2.
Personal protective equipment including a safety helmet,
safety goggles, safety shoes and gloves are recommended
when mounting, installing, operating, adjusting maintaining,
repairing, disassembling cleaning or moving the machine. Avoid
long hair, loose clothing or jewelry in the vicinity of moving
parts.
3.
Long-term exposure to loud noise can lead to permanent
hearing damage! Powerful machines with or without
connected equipment will often be sufficiently loud to cause
permanent or partial hearing loss.
We recommend using hearing protection since the noise from
the operating panel is higher than 80 dB. Noise higher than 85 dB can lead to hearing loss in the long term.
Noise levels of 90 dB or more may cause permanent and full hearing loss in the long term.
REMARK: Hearing loss due to loud noises (of tractors, chainsaws, radios and other similar sources near your
ears) is cumulative during your life without a chance of being naturally restored.
4.
Remove all obstacles that can become hooked on or become stuck in the work area since they may lead to
injury or damage.
5.
Only use the machine during daylight or in good artificial light.
6.
Always check in advance whether the machine has been correctly mounted, has been adjusted and is in a good
condition.
7.
Make sure in advance that all safety protections and symbols have been installed correctly and are in good
condition.
2.6
Safe maintenance
1.
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is inviting problems.
2.
Keep the service area clean and dry.
3.
Make sure power points and tools have been grounded in the correct manner.
4.
Make sure there is always sufficient light.
5.
Make sure there is sufficient ventilation. Never start an engine in a closed space. Exhaust gases may lead to
suffocation.
6.
Before you perform maintenance or installation work on the machine, switch off the engine, engage the brake
and switch off the fuel supply.
7.
Never work underneath the machine unless it is securely raised.
8.
Always use personal protective equipment such as eye, hand and hearing protectors when performing service
or maintenance work. Use heavy-duty or leather gloves when handling blades.
9.
If replacement parts are required for regular maintenance and service, original factory parts must be used to
make sure your machine meets the original specifications. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
injury or damage caused by the use of non-approved parts and/or accessories.
