2.2 Safety and protective devices
This chapter shows the location of the properly installed protective devices in protective position.
WARNING
Risk to people of being crushed, drawn in and becoming entangled due to
unprotected powered driving elements during machine operation!
 Start the machine only with the protective devices completely mounted.
 It is not allowed to open protective devices:
 when the machine is powered,
 as long as the tractor engine is running with the propeller shaft
coupled/the hydraulic system connected,
 if the ignition key is in the tractor and the tractor engine can be
accidentally started with the propeller shaft coupled/the hydraulic system
connected,
 if tractor and machine have not been secured against accidental rolling
by means of their respective parking brake and/or the chocks.
Close open protective devices before powering the machine.

2.5 Correct use
The fodder mixing wagons of the Verti-Mix series:
 are designed for chopping, homogeneous mixing, transport and discharge all types of silage and
normal fodders used in keeping livestock if the dry substance content of the total mixture is more
than 30 %,
 must not be charged otherwise than by means of:
 a tractor equipped with a front loader,
 a yard or wheeled loader,
 a telescopic loader,

 the provided feeding aids such as mineral feed funnel, etc.
 directly from the pipe or conveying device for concentrated feed, mineral feed etc.
The following is also part of the correct use:
 the observance of all instructions contained herein,
 the observance of the specified service and maintenance work on the machine,
 the exclusive use of original spare parts.
Any use beyond this is prohibited and will be regarded as incorrect.
For any damage resulting from incorrect use:
 the user will be solely responsible,
 the manufacturer will not assume any liability.
2.6 Hazardous areas and dangerous spots
The hazardous area is the area within and/or in the vicinity of a machine, in which the safety or health
of people might be impaired.
People are not allowed in the hazardous area:
 if the tractor engine is running with the propeller shaft coupled/
the hydraulic/electronic system connected,
 if tractor and machine are not secured against accidental
starting and rolling.
Only if no people are within the hazardous area of the machine, is the
operator allowed to:
 move the machine,
 set movable machine parts from transport to working position
and from working to transport position,
 power working tools.
Within the hazardous area, risks occur at dangerous spots which cannot be completely eliminated due
to the operational safety of the machine. The risks exist permanently or may occur unexpectedly.
Dangerous spots are marked by warning signs attached to the machine, which warn about existing
residual risks.
In these operating instructions, activity-related safety instructions mark the existing residual risks.
Risks may arise:
 due to work-related movements of the machine and its working tools,
 due to substances or foreign objects blown out of the machine,
 due to accidental lowering of the lifted machine/of lifted machine parts,
 due to accidental starting and rolling of tractor and machine.
Dangerous spots exist:
 within the drawbar area between tractor and machine,
 within the area of the powered propeller shaft,

 within the area of the powered discharge conveyor, crossover conveyor or conveyor extension,
 in the mixing container with the machine powered or not powered,
 around the discharge pipe and in ejection direction in case of machines equipped with straw
blower.
