2.2 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

- Before starting the machine, please
check the machine is in good condi-
tion for work and is safe for road use.

ffic signs and regulations.

ne or climb into the machine when
it is running.

must be familiar with all operating
elements.

coupling and uncoupling the ma-
chine to the tractor.
- Please check that the PTO shaft is in
good condition and well protected.

- When maintaining the hydraulic
system of the planter, make sure
that it is depressurized and the trac-
tor's engine is off.
- Please regularly check the condi-
tion of the tubes and hosepipes in
the hydraulic system. These parts
age naturally and their life should
not surpass 6 YEARS. Please replace
when necessary.
- Before transit with a machine with
folding frame coupled to the trac-
tor, check that the frame is comple-
tely folded.
- When raising the planter, the front
axle is unloaded. Ensure that the
machine has enough load to pre-
vent it overturning. At this time you
must ensure that the condition of
both the steering and the brakes is
optimal.
- During transit with the raised plan-
ter, block the lowering switch. Be-
fore leaving the tractor, lower the
planter onto the ground and remo-
ve the tractor's starting key.
- Always use enough supporting
elements when maintaining the
machine in a raised position to pre-
vent the machine from lowering or
falling.
- Before starting to plant a field, eva-
luate the risks coming from the te-
rrain: pronounced slopes, possible
contact with high-voltage overhead
lines due to an uneven ground or
due to the position of the movable
or folding parts of the planter.
