Safety Instructions - Agria 1400 FARMBOY Operating Instructions Manual

1. Safety Instructions

Foreign powered parts shear and crush!
Riding on the attachment during opera-
tion is not permitted.
Mounted or trailed attachments and
loads/weights affect the machine's driv-
ing, steering, braking, and tipping char-
acteristics. Therefore, ensure that steer-
ing and braking functions are sufficient.
Match operating speed to conditions.
Do not change settings of governor. High
engine speed increases risk of accidents.
Working Area and Danger Zone
The user is liable to third parties staying
within the machine's working range.
Staying in the danger zone is not permit-
ted.
Check the immediate surroundings of the
machine before you start it. Watch out for
children and animals.
Before you start work, clear the area from
any foreign object. During operation,
always watch out for further objects and
remove them in time.
For operation in enclosed areas, ensure
that a safety distance is kept to enclo-
sures to prevent damage to tools.
Operation and
Safety Devices
Before You Start the Engine
Become familiar with the devices and
operating elements and their functions.
Above all, learn how to turn the engine
off quickly and safely in an emergency.
Ensure that all protective devices are
mounted and positioned to provide pro-
tection.

tion or in transport is not permitted.
