Safety instructions
DANGER! We would like to present some common situations where you should be extra mindful
in order to ensure your safety and that of others in your vicinity.
● Due to the risk of exhaust fumes being inhaled, starting, working and test running must never take
place in a closed room (art. 69 of the Dutch Decree on Agricultural Safety)
● Check around the machine (and the tractor) before driving off and before putting the machine into
use!
● Pay attention to people, animals and particularly to children in the surrounding area.
● Make sure that you can see sufficiently well!
● Stay away from between the machine and the tractor unless the vehicle has been safeguarded against
accidentally rolling away by means of a handbrake and/or wheel chocks having been applied!
● Stay outside the machine's work range and danger zone!
● Always stay outside your machine's turning radius or clearance circle!
● It is strictly forbidden to be/move under the container/frame without using a safety support (available
from Peeters Landbouwmachines B.V.).
● Being on the machine while it is in operation or being transported is strictly forbidden!
● Check that the machine has been secured to the tow bar correctly. Specifically make sure that the
towing pin has been locked, e.g. by means of a cotter pin. Carry out the same check for any extra
towing point.
CAREFUL! Points where you have to act with extra caution and observe extra care for yourself
and your machine are listed below.
● In addition to the specific instructions in this operator's manual, also observe the generally applicable
safety and accident prevention instructions!
● Familiarise yourself with all systems and controls and their functions before working with them! If you
have to do this while working, it will be too late.
● Always check the working and road safety of the machine and tractor before using them!
● Carefully read the manual for the power take-off shaft befoe working with it!
● Users must only wear tightly fitting clothes! Avoid loose clothing!
● Always match your driving speed to the circumstances of the environment and the terrain! Never take
sudden turns when driving up or down hill and when driving perpendicularly across a slope!
● Machines that are carried or towed, as well as front weights, affect the driving behaviour, steerability
and brake operation! You must therefore ensure sufficient steering and brake operation!
● When going through bends, take into account the increased width (turning circle) and/or the increased
mass (inertia) of the machine!
● The machine must only be operated by one person!
● Make the machine safe before leaving the tractor! Switch off the motor/engine and remove the
ignition key. In the event of electrical operation, always deactivate the switch functions and pull out
the plug.
● When working with the power take-off shaft, there must not be anyone within the range of the
turning power take-off shaft and clutch shaft!
