Before starting work
a. Before commencing work, the operator must be aware of
all operating devices and functions. The learning of these
is too late after having already commenced operation!
b. The vehicle is to be tested for traffic and operating safety
before each operation.
c. The danger of being crushed or cut exists in the Pick-up,
cutting unit, tailgate and upper extension areas. All persons
must be shown out of these areas before activating hydraulic
equipment and turning on the drive.
d. Before driving the vehicle, the driver must ensure that
nobody will be endangered and that no obstructions are
present. If the driver is unable to see and have an overall
view of the roadway directly behind the trailer, he must be
guided by somebody while reversing.

explanation of what the individual graphic warning symbols
mean can be found on page 4.

General safety tips for using the
trailer
Tips for travelling with the trailer
The handling of the tractor is influenced by the trailer
coupled to it.
• Danger of tipping exists when working on slopes.
• The driving must be adapted
to the corresponding terrain
and ground conditions.
• The towing vehicle is to be
sufficiently equiped with
weights at the front or at the
rear in order to guarantee the
steering and braking capacity
(a minimum of 20% of the
vehicle's tare weight on the
front axle).
• The transport of persons on the machine is not permitted.
Tips for coupling and uncoupling the trailer
• Danger of injury exists when coupling the implement to the
tractor!
• As long as the tractor is moving backwards, do not step
between it and the trailer when coupling.
• Nobody is to stand between the tractor and trailer without
the vehicles being secured against
rolling with the parking brake and/or
wheel chocks.
• Drive shaft connection or
disconnection is only to be undertaken
when the motor has stopped.
Parking the implement

remove the driveshaft and store it, or
secure it with a chain.
Do not use retaining chain (H) for this.
Only use the trailer according to regulations!
Regulations for Use: See chapter "Technical Data".
• The trailer's load limits (permitted axle load, support load,
total weight) may not be exceeded. The relevant details
are located on the right side of the trailer.
