Before each use, check the area around the machine, no-one must be within 50 metres of the machine. Check
that there is sufcient visibility to ensure this condition of use.
Before carrying out any work, ensure that weight distribution on the tractor ensures a stable assembly. The
tractor must be sufciently ballasted at the front to avoid any risk of the front lifting. If not, add weights to the
front of the tractor.
Check before each use that screws, nuts and bolts are correctly tightened in accordance with the maintenance
operation described in this manual Re-tighten if necessary.
No-one must be within 50 metres of the machine when it is being folded and unfolded.
Check that the machine is correctly hitched.
Always install the pins and locking systems.
Check that the machine meets personal safety requirements.
Whenever you use the machine, check that the safety and protection devices (safety devices, emergency stop,
wheel chock, extinguisher) are in place and working. Replace any worn or damaged protectors immediately.
Move any people or animals likely to be in the area where the machine is being manoeuvred or used. A
50-metre safety zone must be kept clear around the machine.
