For Your Own Safety In this enclosure to the operating instructions you will find some general rules of conduct explaining how to operate the implement correctly - and some safety advice which we advise you to observe for your own safety! The list is very extensive, and some of the advice does not specifically relate to the implement supplied.

2. General Safety Advice and Accident Prevention Regulations • Before starting up your implement and tractor, please check that it is roadworthy and operatively safe. • Please observe all generally valid safety and accident prevention regulations. • The warnings and signs found on the implement are there to provide essential data needed to operate the unit safely.

• Road, steering and braking performance will be influenced by mounted or attached implements and ballast. Therefore make sure that you have sufficient steering and brake capability. • Account for the width of the implement and its working load when taking corners. •...

• When using the external controls to operate the three-point linkage, keep clear of the area between the tractor and the implement. • When the implement is in transportation position, always ensure that the tractor’ s three-point linkage is sufficiently locked at the side. •...

• Before engaging the PTO make sure that the area of danger around the implement is free of bystanders. • Never engage the PTO when the engine is switched off. • When working with the PTO, keep the area around the rotating PTO and drive shaft clear of any bystanders.

• Liquids that leak at high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury! In the event of injury, consult a doctor immediately. Risk of infection! • Before working on hydraulic units, lower the implement, depressurize the system, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.

• When performing electrical welding work on a tractor with a mounted implement disconnect any cables connected to the generator and the battery. • Gas tanks must only be filled using nitrogen to avoid risk of explosion.! • Spare parts must at a minimum comply with the technical requirements given by the manufacturer of the implement.

The use of non-original accessories, spares and/or consumables that do not carry specific appro- val from Rabe shall void all warranty liabilities. We can accept no liability whatsoever for damage, loss or injury resulting from the carrying out of unauthorised repairs and/or modifications to the device.

Safety precautions Do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the device during coupling or uncoupling, even if this is to allow operation of the external hydraulic cont- rols. Danger of injury! The operator should run the machine from the trac- tor driver’s seat at all times.

Attachment / Removal Check for matching connection ratings (category II or III). Adjust both lower arms to the same height. Start by hitching the lower arms to the device. Then attach the upper arms. You can now retract the support stands (4.1/1). Correctly secure the coupling assembly (three- point linkage).

”HydroAvant” hydraulic stone guard The ”HydroAvant” stone guard protects the tines from being strained excessively. The stone guard is factory-adjusted to a pressure of 100 bar. If the cutters become slightly misaligned in soft ground, or if the spring-back force is insufficient for heavy soil, pressure can be adapted to ground conditions.

Maintenance Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key before working on the attached implement. Do not work under a non-secured raised imple- ment. Provide the raised device with additional support to prevent accidental dropping. Before working on the hydraulic system, lower the device and release the hydraulic pressure.

A lighting system – with warning panels – can also be obtained from RABE as an optional extra. When transporting on public roads in Poland, the warning triangle (7.1/1) must be fixed to the centre of the machine.

Arrangement of warning signs on the device For key to symbols, see following warning signs. We reserve the right to make technical changes.

The pictograms are an integral part of the implement. Warning labels should be visible (dirt-free) at all times, and replaced if damaged – they can be ordered from Rabe under the relevant pictogram number (Pict. No.). Pict. No. Position-No.

Danger of squeezing. Keep away! Rotating tools. Keep away! Do not grasp behind safety devices or covers. Never carry out work unless PTO-drive is disengaged and the engine is stopped. Danger of Life by load from top! Lift Turbodrill only with empty hopper and never together with rotary harrow.
Page 23
Danger of leg injuries when elements may suddenly swing out. Keep away! Grease all marked grease nipples regulary. The reset force can be increased by adjusting the bolt (kN) to the left (!). Reduce by turning to the right. There must be always a minimum clearance a of 1 mm.
