Safety

2.6

Hitched-up machines

1. Secure the machines against rolling away.

2. Keep to the maximum permitted supporting load

for the trailer coupling, towing device or hitch.

3. Make sure that there is sufficient movement for

the tow-bar trailer at the point of attachment.

2.7

Operation of the power take-
off shaft

1. Only articulated shafts which have been specified

by the manufacturer must be used.

2. Both the protective sleeve and protective funnel

for the articulated shaft and the protective device
for the power take-off shaft - both on the tractor
and on the machine - must be in place and must
be in proper working order.

3. Make sure that the tube covers stipulated for

articulated shafts are in the transport and working
position.

4. Only attach or detach articulated shafts with the

power take-off shaft switched off, the engine shut
down and the ignition key removed.

5. When using articulated shafts with an overload or

freewheel clutch which are not covered by the
protective devices on the tractor, the overload or
freewheel clutch must be mounted on the machine
side.

6. Always make sure that the articulated shaft is

correctly assembled and the safety device is in
proper order.

7. Secure the protective device for the articulated

shaft with a chain to prevent it from rotating with
the shaft.

8. Before switching on the tractor power take-off

shaft, make sure that the speed selected for the
shaft matches the speed permitted for the
machine.

9. Before switching on the power take-off shaft,

make sure that no one is inside the danger area of
the machine.

10. Never switch on the power take-off shaft with the

engine shut down.

11. When working with the power take-off shaft,

nobody must remain inside the area of the rotating
power take-off shaft or articulated shaft.

12. Always shut down the power take-off shaft when

the bend is unnecessarily too great.

13.

Caution

After shutting down the power take-off

shaft, there is a danger that parts which are
subject to inertia will continue running. Do not
approach the machine during this time. Work must
not be carried out on the machine until it is fully at
rest and parts subject to inertia have been
arrested by applying the parking brake.

14. Only carry out lubrication or adjustment work on

the machine or the articulated shaft with the power
take-off shaft switched off, the engine shut down
and the ignition key removed. Apply the parking
brake on parts subject to inertia.

15. When disconnected, stow the articulated shaft in

the mounting provided for this purpose.

16. After the articulated shaft has been disconnected,

place the protective cover on the power take-off
stub.

17. When damaged, remove immediately before

working with the machine.

2.8

Hydraulic unit

1. The hydraulic unit is under pressure.

2. When connecting hydraulic rams and motors,

make sure that the hydraulic hoses are connected
in the stipulated manner.

3. When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the

tractor hydraulic system, make sure that the
hydraulic systems on the tractor and the machine
are not under pressure.

4. The coupling sleeves and plug-in connectors of

the hydraulic function connections between the
tractor and the machine must be labelled to
prevent faulty operation. If the connections are
connected the wrong way round, operations (such
as lifting and lowering) will be reversed and there
will be a

risk of accident

5. Check hydraulic connections regularly and replace

if damaged or old. The replacement hoses must
comply with the technical requirements of the
machine manufacturer.

6. Because of the risk of injury, use suitable

accessories when looking for leaks.
