GENERAL SAFETY 
REGULATIONS 

5 

Every time the tractor/machine

beforehand that it complies with 
current legislation on safety at 
work and Road Traffic 
regulations.

___ 
GENERAL 

 
1 -

 In addition to the instructions 

contained in this manual, 
legislation relating to safety 
instructions and accident 
prevention should be complied 
with. 

2

 – Warnings affixed to the 

machine give indications 
regarding safety measures to be 
observed and help to avoid 
accidents. 

3 

– When traveling on public 

roads, abide by the provisions of 
the Highway Code. 

4

 – Before starting work, it is 

essential that the user is familiar 
with the control and operating 
elements of the machine and their 
respective functions.  When the 
machine is running, it may be too 
late. 

5

 – The user should avoid 

wearing loose clothing, which may 
be caught up, in the moving parts. 

6

 – We recommend using a 

tractor with a safety cab or roll bar 
conforming to standards in force. 

7 

– Before starting up the 

machine and beginning work, 
check the immediate 

surroundings, particularly for 
children.  Make sure that visibility 
is adequate.  Clear any persons 
or animals out of the danger zone. 

8

 – It is strictly forbidden to 

transport any persons or animals 
on board the machine whether it 
is in operation or not. 

9

 – The machine should only be 

coupled up to the tractor at the 
specially provided towing points 
and in accordance with applicable 
safety standards. 

10

 – Extreme care must be taken 

when coupling or uncoupling the 
machine from the tractor. 

11

 – Before hitching up the 

machine, ensure that the front 
axle of the tractor is sufficiently 
weighted.  Ballast weights should 
be fitted to the special supports in 
accordance with the instructions 
of the tractor manufacturer. 

12

 – Do not exceed the maximum 

axle weight or the gross vehicle 
weight rating. 

13 

– Do not exceed the maximum 

authorized dimensions for using 
public roads. 

14

 – Before entering a public 

road, ensure that the protective 
and signaling devices (lights, 
reflectors, etc) required by law are 
fitted and working properly. 

15

 – All remote controls (cords, 

cables, rods, hoses etc) must be 
positioned so that they cannot 
accidentally set off any 
manoeuvre, which may cause an 
accident or damage. 

16 

– Before entering a public 

road, place the machine in the  
transport position, in accordance 
with the manufacturer’s 
instructions. 

17

 – Never leave the driver’s 

position whilst the tractor is 
running. 

18

 – The speed and the method 

of operation must always be 
adapted to the land, roads and 
paths.  Avoid sudden changes of 
direction under all circumstances. 

19

 – Precision of the steering, 

tractor adhesion, road holding and 
effectiveness of the braking 
mechanism are influenced by 
factors such as the weight and 
nature of the machine being 
towed, the front axle stage and 
the state of the land or path.  It is 
essential, therefore, that the 
appropriate care is taken for each 
situation. 

20

 – Take extra care when 

cornering, taking account of the 
overhang, length, height and 
weight of the machine or trailer 
being towed. 

21

 – Before using the machine, 

ensure that all protective devices 
are fitted and in good condition.  
Damaged protectors should be 
replaced immediately. 

22 

– Before using the machine, 

check that nuts and screws are 
tight, particularly those for 
attaching tools (discs, flickers, 
deflectors, etc). Tighten if 
necessary. 

23 

– Do not stand in the operating 

area of the machine. 

24 

– 

Caution!

 Be aware of any 

crushing and shearing zones on 
remote-controlled and particularly 
hydraulically controlled parts. 

25 

– Before climbing down from 

the tractor, or before any 
operation on the machine, turn off 
the engine; remove the key from
