1.7 General Information
When parking, park the machine and the tractor on a solid level
surface. Put all controls in neutral and apply the tractor park
brake. Stop the tractor engine and take the key with you.
Make sure the tractor and implement are in the proper operating
condition according to the operator manuals. Make sure the trac-
tor brakes and the machine brakes are adjusted correctly.
The tractor must have enough weight and braking capacity, espe-
cially when operating on roads and terrain that is not even. Use a
tractor of recommended size and weight to tow the machine.
Tractor must be equipped with rollover protective structure (ROPS) and a seat belt. Use seat belt during operation.
Do not dismount from moving machinery. Always operate the machine with the terminal turned on. Never start the
tractor with the PTO engaged or terminal turned on.
Stay off slopes too steep for operation.
Where possible avoid operating the machine near ditches, embankments, and holes. Reduce ground speed when
operating on rough, slippery, or muddy surfaces and when turning or crossing slopes.
Be aware of the size of the machine and have enough space
available to allow for operation.
Always lower the machine when not in use and relieve the pres-
sure in the hoses and cylinders.
Do not stand between the tractor and the implement to install the
hitch pin when the tractor engine is running.
Avoid contact with electrical power lines. Contact with electrical
power lines can cause electrical shock, resulting in very serious
injury or death.
