2.5 Preparation
1. Never commission the machine before you have read and fully
understood this manual, the manual of the tractor and all safety
messages and decals on the tractor and the machine.
2. Personal protective equipment including a safety helmet,
safety goggles, safety shoes and gloves are recommended
when mounting, installing, operating, adjusting maintaining,
repairing, disassembling cleaning or moving the machine. Avoid
long hair, loose clothing or jewelry in the vicinity of moving
parts.
3. Long-term exposure to loud noise can lead to permanent
hearing damage! Powerful machines with or without
connected equipment will often be sufficiently loud to cause
permanent or partial hearing loss.
We recommend using hearing protection since the noise from
the operating panel is higher than 80 dB. Noise higher than 85 dB can lead to hearing loss in the long term.
Noise levels of 90 dB or more may cause permanent and full hearing loss in the long term.
REMARK: Hearing loss due to loud noises (of tractors, chainsaws, radios and other similar sources near your
ears) is cumulative during your life without a chance of being naturally restored.
4. Remove all obstacles that can become hooked on or become stuck in the work area since they may lead to
injury or damage.
5. Only use the machine during daylight or in good artificial light.
6. Always check in advance whether the machine has been correctly mounted, has been adjusted and is in a good
condition.

2.8 Hydraulic safety
1. Make sure all parts of the hydraulic system are in good condition and clean.
2. Before you put the system under pressure, make sure all parts are fastened correctly and all lines, hoses and
couplers are undamaged.
3. Do not try to repair lines, fittings or hoses provisionally using tape, clamps or binding agents. The hydraulic
system works under extremely high pressure. Such repairs will break suddenly and will therefore lead to a
dangerous and unsafe situation.
4. Use suitable hand and face protection when searching for a leak in the
hydraulic system. Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop
instead of your hands to identify and isolate a leak.
5. If you are injured by a concentrated jet of hydraulic liquid under high
pressure, you must immediately seek medical assistance. Hydraulic
liquid that penetrates the skin may lead to an infection or a toxic
reaction.
6. Remove the pressure from the hydraulic system before performing
maintenance or work on the system.
