3. The safety of the surroundings
Make sure that no-one not concerned are present in the area of work. We emphasize as strongly

Never start the machine when there are people or animals close to the machine or the tractor.
Never stand etween the tractor wheels and the machine!
The machine’s rotating parts may cause severe injuries.
If other persons than the operator of the machine are present in the risk zone, the operator is to
explain the danger the machine involves.
4. Clothing and the drive shaft
Do not work in clothing that may e caught in the moving parts of the machine (for example
scarf, wide coats).
The tractor must e disconnected and the hand rake activated efore the shaft is connected to
the tractor’s power take-off. The drive shafts are always to e equipped with original protection
covers.
Damaged and worn covers are to be replaced immediately!
Make sure that all covers for the shaft are in good condition and correctly fitted. Never start the
machine when this is not in order. The locking chains for the plastic covers are always to e
fixed to the appropriate rackets in order to prevent the covers to rotate.
Safe connection and use.
Allow no ody to stay etween the machine and tractor when the machine is connected to the
tractor. The same applies during use of the machine. Make sure that the connection is carried
