1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY AND
ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Check the machine for operational safety before every start-up.
1. In addition to the instructions contained in this manual, all specifications generally valid for safety and accident
prevention must be observed, for instance when working in biogas plants: safety regulations for biogas plants!
2. The warning and instruction signs affixed to the machine give very important instructions for safe operation.
Observing them serves your own personal safety!
3. Never put the machine into operation unless all guards and safety devices are completely mounted and in their
proper working position!
4. Acquaint yourself with all equipment components and controls as well as their respective functions before
starting to work. It is too late when the device is already running!
5. The operator’s clothes should fit tightly. Avoid wearing loose clothes!
6. When handling slurry always keep in mind that the gasses produced are highly toxic and extremely explosive in
combination with oxygen. Therefore, open fires, light tests, sparking and smoking are strictly forbidden!
7. Utmost care is required with regard to gasses in slurry and dung channels at open valves to the preliminary pit,
before the main pit, or at cross channels. The same applies to mixing and withdrawal points when mixers or
pumps are running!
8. When handling slurry always ensure sufficient ventilation!
9. Keep the machine clean to avoid fire hazards!
Tractor-driven machines
1. Before starting inspect the area around the machine (Children) ! Make sure your view is unrestricted!
2. Riding on the machine during transport is forbidden!
3. Couple the machine according to instructions and fasten it only at the specified points!
4. Be especially careful when coupling the machine to the tractor or uncoupling it!
5. Always adjust the supports in the proper position when coupling or uncoupling the machine (stability)!
6. Always mount balancing weights properly at the points provided!
7. Observe restrictions pertaining to axle load, total weight, and transport dimensions!
8. Inspect and mount all items required for transport such as lighting, warning signals and possible safety
devices!

9. Mounted or trailed machines as well as balancing weights influence road behaviour, steering and braking
capacity. Therefore make sure that proper steering and braking are possible!
10.Consider the projection and/or centrifugal mass of the machine when driving in curves!
11.It is forbidden to stay in the working range of the machine while it is operating !
12.Keep out of the turning and swivelling range of the machine!
13.Only operate hinged hydraulic frames when nobody is in the swivel range!
14.Externally powered machines (e.g. hydraulic) bear a crushing and shearing hazard!
15.Nobody is allowed between the tractor and the implement unless the tractor is secured by the parking brake
and /or by wheel chocks
16.Hinged supports must always be folded up and secured before driving away!
17.Secure the machine and the tractor against rolling!
Tractor-mounted machines:
1. Before a machine is linked to or detached from the three-point linkage, the control device must be shifted to a
position in which unintentional lifting or lowering is impossible!
2. When using the three-point linkage the linkage parameters of both tractor and attached machine must
correspond, if not, they have to be matched accordingly!
3. The three-point linkage bears crushing and shearing hazards!
4. When operating the external control of the three-point linkage never step in-between tractor and the machine!
5. When the machine is in the transport position always make sure that the tractor’s links are always properly
secured on the sides.
6. When driving on the road with the machine lifted the control lever must be locked against lowering!
Trailed machines
1. When a machine is coupled to the draw bar make sure that the coupling point provides sufficient flexibility!

Power take-off (applies only to PTO driven machines)
1. It is not allowed to use any other types of PTO drive shafts except those prescribed by the manufacturer!
2. Drive shaft guard tube and guard cone as well as the PTO guard –also on the machine side - must be
mounted and in good working order!
3. When using a PTO drive shaft always observe the specified overlap in transport and working position!
4. Never connect or disconnect the PTO drive shaft unless the PTO is stopped, the engine turned off, and the
ignition key pulled out!
5. Make sure the drive shaft is always connected and secured properly!
6. Attach safety chain to keep the drive shaft guard from rotating with the shaft!
7. Before you turn on the PTO make sure that the selected tractor PTO speed corresponds with the permissible
implement speed!
8. Before starting the PTO make sure that nobody is standing in the danger zone of the machine!
9. Never turn on the PTO when the engine is turned off or during a transport drive!
10.When working with the PTO nobody is allowed near the turning PTO or drive shaft!
11.Warning! The PTO shaft may continue turning due to its centrifugal mass after the PTO has been turned off!
Keep clear of the machine during this time and do not touch until the PTO shaft stands absolutely still!
12.For cleaning, greasing, or adjusting the PTO driven implement or drive shaft, PTO and engine must be
switched off and the ignition key pulled out!
13.Place the disconnected drive shaft on the provided support!
14.When drive shaft has been removed put the guard on the PTO shaft!
15.If a defect occurs repair it immediately before starting to work with the machine!

Hydraulic system
1. Hydraulic system is under high pressure!
2. When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors, make sure the hydraulic hoses are connected as specified!
3. Before coupling the hydraulic hoses with the tractor’s hydraulic system make sure that the entire hydraulic
system is pressureless both on the tractor and implement side !
4. Inspect the hydraulic lines at regular intervals and replace them immediately in case of defects or aging.
Replaced hoses must comply with the technical specifications of the implement manufacturer!
5. When looking for leaks use only suitable equipment because of the injury hazard involved!
6. Liquids emerging under high pressure (hydraulic oil) may penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries! An
injured person must see a doctor immediately! Danger of infection!
7. Before working on the hydraulic system the machine must be lowered, the system depressurised and the
engine turned off!
Electric-driven implements
1. All work beyond normal maintenance of the implement should be performed only by a professional electrician!
2. Defective or broken plugs and sockets must be replaced by a professional electrician!
3. Never pull a plug out of the socket at the flexible electric cord!
4. Extension cables for power supply should be used only temporarily! Never use such lines permanently as a
substitute for the required fixed installations!
5. Flexible lines laid across traffic areas on the farm must have at least 5 m ground clearance!
6. Always turn off the power supply before you do any work on the machine!
7. Check all electric lines for visible defects before you put the machine into operation! Replace defective cables
and do not start the machine before that!
8. Never use electric-driven implements in damp locations or locations exposed to fire hazard unless the
machines have been adequately protected against moisture and dust!
9. Covering electric motors may cause heat concentration with high temperatures which could destroy the
operating equipment and cause fires!
