2.2.2.4.2 Protective equipment
Make sure that the protective equipment is functional
If protective equipment is missing, damaged or removed, implement parts can cause serious personal
injury or even death.
Check the implement at least once a day for damage, proper installation, and functioning of the
protective equipment.
If you are not sure if the protective equipment is properly installed and functional,
have the protective equipment checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
Make sure that the protective devices are properly installed and functional before any work on the
implement.
Replace damaged protective equipment.
2.2.2.4.3 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.

2.2.2.4.4 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.
2.2.3 Knowing and preventing dangers
2.2.3.1 Safety hazards on the machine
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.
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 the hydraulic hose lines or check 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.
