Rabe Digger HA Operating Instructions Manual page 7

• 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.
• Only operate implements once all the safety devices/guards have been mounted and are in
protection mode.
• Keep clear of working areas at all times.
• Keep clear of rotating and swinging parts on the implement.
• Ensure the swinging parts are clear of bystanders before operating any hydraulic folding
frames.
• Power-steered parts (e.g. hydraulics) can cause crushing or amputation!
• On high-speed implements with ground-driven implements beware of after-running swinging
parts! Only approach once the implement is at a complete standstill!
• Before leaving the tractor, lower the implement to the ground, switch off the engine and
remove the ignition key!
• Do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the implement without first having
secured the vehicle against running away by putting on the handbrake and/or using wheel
chocks.
• Ensure that the folded-in frames and lifting equipment are securely in transportation position.
• Fold in and lock the packer catching arms before transporting on roads.
• Lock the marker arms to transportation position.
2.1 Coupled Implements
• Before coupling or uncoupling an implement to the three-point linkage, position the operating
device in such a way as to prevent unintentional lifting or lowering.
• When using the three-point linkage it is vital that the coupling configurations of the tractor
and implement correspond or are co-ordinated.
• There is a risk of injury through crushing or amputation near the three-point linkage.
