gloves and protective wear.
Mount and dismount ditch cleaner from extension arm on even and paved surface while keeping
particular attention.
Tractor's 3-point linkage should be adjusted with tensioning chains, so that stiff connection
between a tractor and extension arm, onto which ditch cleaner is mounted is provided.
Tractor with the mounted aggregation of extension arm and ditch cleaner should be balanced in
the manner, which allows stability of the whole aggregation of tractor and extension arm.
Mount ditch cleaner on extension arm only with use of genuine fittings and safety devices.
When connecting hydraulic hoses to tractor hydraulic connectors make sure, that both the
tractor’s and the arm’s hydraulics are pressure free.
Prior to connecting hydraulics reduce pressure in hoses.

Operation
When operating on public roads always respect the local traffic regulations.
Admissible slope, on which the machine is able to operate, is provided by the Manufacturer.
Angular value for safe operation on slope is 8º.
Unauthorized personnel and animals should be present in safe distance, which is at least 15 m
from the machine. Keep particular attention when operating near roads and lanes, where
presence of unauthorized personnel is likely.
When operating the aggregation, the tractor should always be equipped with operator's cabin.
Prior to operating, the machine should undergo a technical inspection paying particular attention
to condition of basic connections of machine’s assemblies as well as proper mounting of the
machine to a tractor.

turn the drive off, set the aggregation of tractor and extension arm and the ditch cleaner in a
standstill position and remove the ignition key.
Operating speed of the aggregation of extension arm and ditch cleaner should be adjusted to
operating conditions such as: density of cleaned material, depth of the cleaner’s immersion,
range of surface's unevenness.
DO NOT operate ditch cleaner after dusk.
DO NOT leave the aggregation on slopes without any additional protection.
DO NOT operate with damaged or missing guards.
