Safety
You will see this symbol in the instruction manual each time advice is given
about your safety, the safety of other users, or the functional safety of the
machine. All safety instructions must be observed and made available to all
users of the machine.
General
•Before starting its operation, the user must be familiar with all parts of
the machine.
•The disc harrow must not be used for anything other than the cultivation
of ordinary agricultural areas.
•The user manual must always be available if the need arises. Should it get
damaged or go missing, it is important that a new one is obtained from
DALBO A/S.
•Do not use the disc harrow if you are tired or unwell or in any other way
affected by alcohol, drugs, or medication.
•The disc harrow should normally be used in daylight, but should the need
arise to use the machine when it’s dark, the tractor lights must be on.
•Check the disc harrow’s functions thoroughly before starting the
machine.
•During maintenance of the machine, appropriate personal protective
equipment and safety gear must be used.
•The user of the disc harrow must not wear loose-fitting clothing that
could become caught in the disc harrow.
•Dust can be generated from use of the disc harrow. Therefore, it is
advisable to check the tractor’s cabin filter regularly, or use some kind of
dust mask while working.
•To avoid dangerous situations during use, it is important that the
operator maintain a good line of sight. You must therefore ensure the
tractor’s mirrors are kept clean and intact.
•Keep the machine clean of foreign matter, including tools, waste, etc., so
that no damage to the user or the disc harrow occurs.

•Avoid using the machine in muddy or loose soil.
•Any changes made to the disc harrow can result in problems with its
safety. Should this happen anyway, the user shall be held accountable for
an accident.
•Safety labels have been placed on the machine. These contain important
instructions about your own safety and that of others, as well as the
correct use of the machine. Always ensure that these stickers are intact.

•Clean security labels daily.
•Replace security labels if they are damaged.
•
If the part where the safety label is replaced, a new label must
be fitted. Remove the white foil sticker from the label and stick
the label onto the new part.
•New safety labels can be ordered from DALBO A/S
•There may be no passengers on the machine during work or
transportation.
•When operating the disc harrow, ensure that there are no persons within
the machine’s radius of action. The machine may only be operated from
inside the tractor.
•When the disc harrow is folded up, ensure that the side sections are
pushed completely in. Likewise, this will secure the control levers against
accidental operation.
•Before leaving the tractor or performing any adjustments, maintenance,
or repairs to the disc harrow, unfold the machine and lower it onto the
ground, or secure it in transport mode, put the brakes on the tractor, turn
off the engine and remove the ignition key so that the machine is secured
against accidental starting.
•Remember to secure the supporting legs as well as the lifting arm with
lynch pins.
•Never leave the driver’s seat while the machine is being driven.
•The driving speed must always be adjusted to the conditions.
•Only use the machine if all safety devices have been mounted. Defective
safety devices must be replaced immediately.
Noise level
•With the exception of the impact of the machine with external objects, no
other noise will exceed 80 dB(A).
