Safety instructions
During coupling and uncoupling, no person may
stand between the tractor and the implement,
nor should anyone stand there with actuation of
the hydraulic control! Risk of injury!
Set tractor lifting hydraulics to "position control'
before coupling and uncoupling!
Check tractor and implement for operational and
traffic safety prior to every operation!
Ensure sufficient steering safety; install front
weights to the tractor!
The operator's position is on the driver's seat
of the tractor. This is where the implement is
operated from.
Prior to operating (folding in/out) or starting the
implement, take care that no person is in the area
of the implement!
In the area of the three-point linkage, the “fold-in”
area” and the packer roller, beware of the hazards
of crushing and shearing zones!
Climbing or riding on the implement and standing
in danger areas is prohibited!
Prior to leaving the tractor
, switch off the power
take-off, lower the implement, switch off engine
and take out ignition key!
Settings and maintenance must only be done when
the implement is lowered!
Be careful when handling gear parts, because they
may be hot from the work!
During operation, all safety devices must be
mounted!
Before switching on the power take-off, make sure
that
...
no person is in the vicinity of the implement!
...
the selected power take-off speed matches the
permissible speed for the implement!
...
that the articulated shaft works with the
prescribed pipe overlap (and that it is not too long
when raising in the horizontal position - and/or the
shortest distance)!
Take the position of the centre of gravity into
consideration when lifting in steep hillside locations
(on a slope).
Secure the tractor hydraulic control equipment
against unintended operation during transport!
Prior to using for the first time - and after extended
periods of non-use - check the oil levels in the gear
units (see Maintenance), check all bearings for
sufficient lubrication, check the firm seating of all
screws and check the hydraulic system for leaks!
