User information
10 Cataya Special BAH0109-1 02.21
1 User information
The User information section provides information concerning the operating manual.
This operating manual is valid for all versions of the implement.
Figures serve as a reference and are to be understood as representations of the principle.
All of the equipment is described without indicating it as special equipment. A description may be pro-
vided for equipment that is not fitted on the implement or is only available in certain markets. The sales
documents provide information on the equipment of your implement or consult your service partner for
more detailed information.
All information in this operating manual corresponds to the state of knowledge at the time of publica-
tion. Due to ongoing development of the implement, deviations are possible between the implement
and the information in this operating manual. No claims can be made based on differences in the
specifications, figures or descriptions.
If you want to sell the implement, ensure that the operating manual is supplied with the implement.
The operating manual
describes the operation and maintenance of the implement
provides important information on safe and efficient handling of the implement
is an integral part of the implement and should always be kept with the implement or the towing
vehicle
must be kept in a safe place for future use.
Activities to be carried out by the user are presented as numbered instructions. Always observe the
sequence of the instructions. The reaction to instructions is given by an arrow. Example:
1. Instruction 1
Reaction of the implement to handling instruction 1
2. Instruction 2
Listings without a mandatory sequence are presented as a listing with bullets.
Example: Point 1
Point 2
Numbers in round brackets refer to the item numbers in the illustrations. The first number refers to the
diagram and the second number to the item.
Example: (Fig. 3/6) = Figure 3 / Item 6.
All the directions specified in the operating manual are always viewed in the direction of travel.

General Safety Instructions

2 General Safety Instructions
This section contains important information on safe operation of the implement.
2.1 Obligations and liability
Comply with the instructions in the operating manual
Knowledge of the basic safety information and safety regulations is a basic requirement for safe han-
dling and fault-free implement operation.
Obligations of the operator
The operator is obliged only to let those people work with/on the implement who
are aware of the basic workplace safety information and accident prevention regulations
have been trained in working with/on the implement
have read and understood this operating manual.
The operator is obliged
to keep all the warning symbols on the implement in a legible state
to replace damaged warning symbols.
Obligations of the user
Before starting work, anyone charged with working with/on the machine is obliged
to comply with the basic workplace safety instructions and accident prevention regulations
to read and understand the "General safety information" section of this operating manual
to read the section "Warning symbols and other labels on the implement" in this operating manu-
al and to follow the safety instructions represented by the warning symbols when operating the
implement
to get to know the implement
to read the sections of this operating manual, important for carrying out your work.
If the user discovers that a function is not working properly, then they must eliminate this fault immedi-
ately. If this is not the task of the user or if the user does not have the appropriate technical knowledge,
then they should report this fault to their superior (operator).

General Safety Instructions
12 Cataya Special BAH0109-1 02.21

General Safety Instructions
Cataya Special BAH0109-1 02.21 13
2.2 Representation of safety symbols
Safety instructions are indicated by the triangular safety symbol and the highlighted signal word. The
signal word (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION) describes the severity of the risk, and carries the fol-
lowing meaning:
DANGER
Indicates an immediate hazard with high risk, which will result in
death or serious bodily harm (loss of limbs or long-term harm), if
it is not avoided.
If the instructions are not followed, then this will result in imme-
diate death or serious physical injury.
WARNING
Indicates a medium risk, which could result in death or (serious)
physical injury if not avoided.
If the instructions are not followed, then this may result in death
or serious physical injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a low risk which could cause minor or medium level
physical injury or damage to property if not avoided.
IMPORTANT
