Safety

Explanation for warning

stickers

Stop the engine and remove the keys from the ignition

Switch the engine off as soon as you leave the tractor. Remove the

key from the ignition to prevent the tractor from being started uninten-

tionally while you are in the danger zone. This especially applies when

changing the settings or while maintenance and repairs are carried

out.

Keep clear from a running machine

Fertiliser is spread over a great distance during operation. Ensure that

nobody comes within working reach of the machine during operation.

Do not come into the working area before all parts of the machine are

standing still.

The power lift must only be operated outside of the danger zone

In the area between the tractor and the machine, there is a danger of

being pinned down by the power lift. The power lift must therefore only

be engaged from beyond the danger zone. Secure the tractor with the

handbrake and wheel chocks to ensure it would not roll away.

Do not approach the machine until it has come to a complete

standstill

The rotating parts of the machine never come to an immediate halt,

they always wind down. The moving parts of a machine are not always

visible. Do not approach the machine until all moving parts have come

to a complete halt.

Safety

Never go underneath an elevated, unsecured machine

The machine or parts of the machine could accidentally fall due to

waning pressure, for instance. Always place the machine on proper

supports if you have to work under the machine!

Only lift the machine at the lifting points

If a machine is being elevated, only attach it to the indicated lifting

points. Never go underneath an elevated machine. Allow for any

possible movements of the elevated machine, whether wanted or not.

Be careful of getting jammed or pinched

If the machine is engaged or operated unintentionally you could get

struck in moving parts, which could lead to injury. Be extra alert when

working in the vicinity of moving parts. Always keep in mind that the

motor or parts of the machine could still be retaining some energy.

Read the user’s manual

The instruction manual contains procedures for working correctly to

ensure safe work. as well as dangers one could possibly encounter.

Keep to these working methods as described and give due consider-

ation to the safety measures in place!

Do not exceed the maximum hydraulic pressure of 200 bars

Prevent the pressure in the hydraulic system from exceeding 200 bars!

Working with higher pressure may damage your machine and result in

dangerous situations.
