For working with the machine, the following
qualification levels are provided:
Farmer
Agricultural helper
As a matter of principle, the activities described in this
operating manual can be performed by persons with
the qualification level "Agricultural helper".
2.1.1.1.3 Farmer
Farmers use agricultural implement to cultivate fields.
They decide on the use of an implement for a specific
purpose.
Farmers are basically familiar with working with
agricultural implements and can instruct agricultural
helpers in how to use the implements if necessary.
They can perform odd tasks and simple maintenance
and repair work on agricultural implements
themselves.
Farmers can be e.g.:
Farmers with higher education or training from a
technical college
Farmers by experience (e.g. inherited farm,
comprehensive practical knowledge)
Contractors who work by order of farmers
Activity example:
Safety training for agricultural helpers
2.1.1.1.4 Agricultural helpers
Agricultural helpers use agricultural implements by
order of the farmer. They are instructed on the use of
the implement by the farmer, and work independently
according to the work assignment from the farmer.
Agricultural helpers can be e.g.:
Seasonal workers and labourers
Prospective farmers in training
Employees of the farmer (e.g. tractor driver)
Family members of the farmer

2.1.1.4.2 Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment
Wearing personal protective equipment is an
important safety element. Missing or unsuitable
personal protective equipment increases the risk
of damage to health and personal injury. Personal
protective equipment includes: work gloves,
safety shoes, protective clothing, breathing
protection, hearing protection, face protection,
and eye protection
Determine the personal protective equipment
required for each job and have it ready.
Use only protective equipment that is
in proper condition and offers effective
protection.
Adjust the personal protective equipment to
the person, e.g. the size.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions
regarding operating materials, seed, fertiliser,
crop protection products, and cleaning
agents.
Wear suitable clothing
Loosely worn clothing increases the risk of
getting caught or entangled on rotating parts and
getting stuck on protruding parts. This can result
in serious injury or death.
Wear close-fitting, snag-free clothes.
Never wear rings, necklaces and other
jewellery.
If you have long hair,
wear a hairnet.

2.1.1.4.3 Warning symbols
Keep warning symbols legible
Warning symbols on the machine warn you of
risks in danger areas and are an important
element of the machine's safety equipment.
Missing warning symbols increase the risk of
serious and lethal personal injury.
Clean dirty warning symbols.
Immediately replace any damaged and
illegible warning symbols.
Put the intended warning symbols on spare
parts.
2.1.2 Knowing and preventing dangers
2.1.2.1 Safety hazards on the machine
Liquids under pressure
Escaping high pressure hydraulic fluid can
penetrate into the body through the skin and
cause serious personal injuries. A hole the size
of a needle can already result in serious personal
injuries.
Before you uncouple hydraulic hoses or
check them for damage,
depressurise the hydraulic system.
If you suspect damage on a pressure system,
have the pressure system checked by a
qualified specialist workshop.
Never look for leaks with your bare hands.
Keep your body and face away from leaks.
If liquids penetrate the body,
consult a doctor immediately.

Risk of injury on the universal joint shaft
Persons can be caught, pulled in and severely
injured by the universal joint shaft and driven
components. If the universal joint shaft is angled
down too much, the implement can be damaged,
parts can be ejected at high speed, and persons
can be injured.
Maintain sufficient coverage of the profile
tube and universal joint shaft guard.
Allow the universal joint shaft locks to
engage.
Secure the universal joint shaft guard against
rotating by attaching the chains.
If the universal joint shaft is angled down
too much,
switch off the universal joint shaft.
If you do not need the universal joint shaft,
switch off the universal joint shaft.
Observe the section "Preparing the universal
joint shaft".
Danger due to machine parts still running
When the drives are switched off, machine parts
can continue running and cause serious personal
injury or death.
Before approaching the machine, wait until
any machine parts that are still running have
come to a stop.
Only touch machine parts that are standing
still.

2.1.2.2 Danger areas
Dangers areas on the machine
The following basic dangers are encountered in
the danger areas:
The implement and its work tools move during
operation.
Hydraulically raised machine parts can descend
unnoticed and slowly.
The tractor and implement can roll away
unintentionally.
Materials or foreign objects can be ejected out of
or away from the implement.
If the danger area is not observed, it can result in
serious personal injury or death.
Keep people out of the danger area of the
machine.
If people enter the danger area,
immediately switch off the engines and
drives.
Before you work in the danger area of the
implement,
secure the tractor and implement. This also
applies for quick checking work.

2.1.3 Safe operation and handling of the machine
2.1.3.1 Coupling implements
Coupling the implement to the tractor
Incorrectly coupling of the implement to the
tractor results in hazards that can cause serious
accidents.
There are crushing and shear points in the area
of the coupling points between the tractor and the
implement.
If you couple or uncouple the implement to
or from the tractor,
be very careful.
Use only suitable tractors for coupling and
transporting the implement.
If the implement is coupled to the 3-point
power lift of the tractor,
make sure that the mounting categories of
the tractor and implement are compatible.
Couple the implement properly to the tractor.

2.1.3.2 Driving safety
Risk when driving on roads and fields
Any mounted or towed implement as well as front
or rear ballast weights on the tractor influence the
driving behaviour and the steering and braking
power of the tractor. The driving characteristics
also depend on the operating condition, the fill
level of the load, and on the ground. If the
driver does not take account of changing driving
characteristics, he can cause accidents.
Always ensure that the tractor's steering and
braking systems are operating correctly.
The tractor must provide the required brake
lag for the tractor and mounted implement.
Check the function of the brakes before
moving off.
The tractor front axle must always be
loaded with at least 20 % of the empty
tractor weight to ensure  steering
power.
Use front ballast weights if necessary.
Always attach the front or rear ballast weights
properly on the specified fixing points.
Calculate and observe the payload of the
mounted or towed implement.
Observe the permissible axle loads and
drawbar loads of the tractor.
Observe the permissible drawbar load of the
hitch device and drawbar.
Drive in such a way that you always have
full control over the tractor with the mounted
or towed implement. In so doing, take your
personal abilities into account, as well as the
road, traffic, visibility and weather conditions,
the driving characteristics of the tractor, and
the influence of the mounted implement.
When driving on roads, risk of accident
caused by uncontrolled lateral motions of the
implement
Lock the tractor lower links for road travel.
