emphasise the necessary caution and behaviours the operators must
have.
INTRODUCTION TO SAFETY WARNINGS

C243803602.fm
- 10 - Safety informationEnglish
–As well as complying with the laws in
force, during designing the manufac-
turer has adopted all correct manufac-
turing techniques.
The Evaluation of Risks has been car-
ried out to identify the limits of use, the
dangers and estimate risk to protect
personal safety.
–It has arisen from the Evaluation of
Risks that the machine has been
equipped with all devices that make
safety intrinsic.
–The incorrect or "negligent" use of the
machine by the driver can cause acci-
dents (even fatal) despite the adopted
safety solutions.
–Use the machine ONLY with original
safety devices installed by the manu-
facturer.
The tampering and avoidance of the safety devices can cause risks (even fatal)
for the operators.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
The general safety warnings indicate some principles that must be
respected during man-machine interaction, to prevent and minimise the
risks throughout the life-span.
Accidents (often serious) involving the use of farming implements and
machines depend on many factors.
One factor that may affect safety is often the environmental condition when
working, where it is not always possible to foresee all risks.
Other factors that may determine risks during man-machine interaction, are
the poor attention, the behaviours and incompetence of the operators.
IDM-43800104100.tif
IDM-43801805500.tif

C243803602.fm
- 11 - Safety informationEnglish
–Caution is always necessary. Safety is also in the hands of the operators
working the machine throughout its life span.
It is always too late to remember that which should have been done when it has
already occurred.
–Carefully read the "User instructions"
in this manual and those directly ap-
plied on the machine.
It is important to read the "User instruc-
tions" to minimise risks and avoid dan-
gerous accidents.
The driver must ensure having under-
stood the "User instructions" before in-
teracting with the machine.
–Carefully read the SAFETY WARN-
INGS in the "User instructions" and those directly applied on the machine.
–Ensure the information signals are legible and respect the reported indications.
The information signals can be of different shapes and colours, to signal dan-
gers, obligations, prohibitions and indications.
IDM-43801805400.tif

C243803602.fm
- 12 - Safety informationEnglish
–Entrust driving of the machine ONLY to competent and experienced operators
in using farming machines or similar sectors.
–Foresee a training plan for operators that may not have the necessary compe-
tences for using the machine.
–Inform the operators on the reasonably predictable INCORRECT USES and on
the RESIDUAL RISKS.
–The operator must be able to read and understand the user manual and recog-
nise the safety signals.
–The operator must prove to have the adequate competences and be in adequate
conditions to safely carry out the activities.
–The employer should document the training attended by the operators, so that it
can be produced in the event of a dispute.
–To avoid inadequate safety conditions DO NOT entrust unsuitable operators
with driving the machine.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE EMPLOYER

C243803602.fm
- 13 - Safety informationEnglish
–The machine can be transported directly with the driver in the driver's seat, or
with the machine loaded onto a transport mean.
–Carry out load, unload and transfer following the information reported directly on
the machine and in the "User instructions".
–Staff in charge of loading and un-
loading onto a transport mean to
transfer the machine, must be compe-
tent and skilful and work cautiously.
–ONLY use suitable ramps or other sys-
tems able to ensure safe conditions
during loading and unloading from the
mean of transport.
–ONLY use relevant bar (correctly
hooked to the hitching points of the
machine) when the towed machine must be loaded/unloaded.
–An assistant may be used (situated at
a safe distance) to signal the manoeu-
vres during loading and unloading of
the machine onto the transport mean.
–ALWAYS deactivate the PTO of the
machine before loading it onto the
transport mean.
–Disconnect the interchangeable equip-
ment from the machine in the event of
health risks during loading and un-
loading onto the transport mean.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
The safety warnings indicate some principles that staff (driver and
operator) must respect during machine handling and transporting.
IDM-43801805800.tif
IDM-43801805900.tif

C243803602.fm
- 14 - Safety informationEnglish
–Ensure the machine and its components are safely anchored to the transport
mean.
–Verify and arrange the opportune signals, if the shape of the machine exceeds
the admitted clearance for road circulation.
–Perform transport using suitable means and of adequate capacity.
–On reception, check the integrity of the machine and components. In the event
of damage or lack of parts, contact the manufacturer or local authorised dealer
to agree on the procedure to be followed.
The listed prohibitions represent the most common incorrect uses. The
non compliance can entail risks for the personal health and safety.
–DO NOT lift the machine using lifting devices with hook (crane) or forks (lifting
truck).
Incorrect uses
