PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:
•
Carefully read the machine's operating manual before using the machine! It is important
that you understand the directions in the manual.
•
Keep the work area clear of children and other people. Moving parts increase the risk of
accidents.
•
Never put your hands or feet under the machine without first switching off the equip-
ment and the tractor's engine.
•
Never leave the equipment with the tractor engine running. Switch off the engine and
apply the parking brake when you leave the equipment – even for a short period.
•
Always disengage the machine before performing service or maintenance work.
•
Never leave the machine in a raised position. There can be a loss of pressure in the hy-
draulics and the machine can drop to the ground.
•
Ensure that all guards are in place and cannot come loose.
•
The entire length of the PTO shaft must be protected. Ensure that the safety chain is well
anchored.
•
Only the driver of the tractor may be present in the vicinity of the machine while it is in
operation.
•
Before operation, ensure that there are no stones protruding from the field.
•
Never exceed the PTO shaft's speed. (Recommended speed for most operation is 540
rpm.)
•
Always adjust the rotor speed to the type of work to be carried out.
•
Never use the machine if it is unbalanced.
•
Do not try to remove jammed objects while the engine is running. Ensure that the engine
and the rotors have stopped before carrying out any measures on the machine.
•
Ejection warning! Respect the machine's risk zone of 15 - 25 m.
•
Never hand over the machine to someone else until you are sure that they have the nec-
essary knowledge of the machine.
•
It is prohibited to stand between the tractor/loader and the machine during attachment
and detachment.
•
Operate a new machine at low speed and without a full load for the first few hours.
•
Exercise caution when working near power lines and telephone lines.
•
Do not operate the machine if substantial vibrations develop. Stop the machine immedi-
ately and inspect it.
•
Before you connect or disconnect the hydraulic hoses, ensure that there is no longer any
pressure in the system. Pull the hydraulic handle from side to side several times in order
to remove pressure from the hydraulic hoses.
•
Carry out a visual inspection of the equipment before use. Lubricate moving parts and
check that nuts and bolts are tightened. Repair or replace damaged or worn parts.
•
When you disconnect quick couplings, ensure that you protect them after use, so that
they are not exposed to dirt.
•
The tractor/loader should be fitted with an ABE2 or ABE3 fire extinguisher. Contact your
insurance provider.
