3.5 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPTIMAL SAFETY AND
OPERATION (l)
Always be aware of the following risks when using the machine!
To achieve optimal safety and operation, it is important that the operator understands how dangerous the
machine is and anticipates the danger before it occurs:
You may get stuck when the machine is engaged or disconnected and when the tool carrier is moved
out or in, up or down and forward or back!
The machine can tip over when the tool carrier is raised!
You can be caught by the rotating shaft from the PTO!
You may be hit or caught by the moving parts, e.g., flails, knives, drive shaft and wings from mounted
attachment tools.
You may be hit by flying materials or machine parts in case of machine damage!
The machine can tip over, even when not in use!
The attachment tools are powered by hydraulic oil from the hydraulic system in the machine or from
the power-providing vehicle. The operator of the vehicle should have knowledge of how the hydraulic
oil should be handled! (Read in the safety data sheet for the oil)
High pressure oil spray from damaged fittings or hydraulic hoses can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury!
Accident in case of collision with other vehicles or lost objects on the roads.
Always pay attention to overhead lines!
Between the electrical poles there will always be a risk of touching the overhead
lines. If in doubt - contact the local power plant for safety distance instructions.

Do not perform any maintenance or adjustment without first removing the hydraulic pressure from the
machine, lowering the tool carrier to the ground, stopping the vehicle's engine, applying the parking
brake, and removing the key!
Do not use and / or mount the machine on a vehicle that does not meet the manufacturer's
specifications!
Do not use the machine if the hydraulic system shows signs of damage!

3.8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE,
ADJUSTMENT, AND INSPECTION (s)
The machine must be maintained in the following ways:
The operator must ensure that all maintenance, inspection, and installation work is carried out by
authorized and qualified professionals who, after reading the relevant instruction manuals, are in
possession of sufficient knowledge.
Maintenance, inspection, and installation work may only be carried out with the hydraulics
disconnected.

When replacing machines, check the hydraulic system for residual pressure.
A possible residual pressure is reduced to zero. (0 bar)
Use only suitable tools and wear heavy gloves, safety shoes and glasses.
Handle the hydraulic oil and grease properly. Always be familiar with the safety data sheets.
Immediately after completion of work, all safety and protection devices must be fitted and reactivated.
3.9 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OWNER / OPERATOR
It is important to familiarize yourself with all controls and equipment as well as their function before
starting the work. If the work has only begun, it may be too late.
Check the immediate area before starting and during operation of the work the machine must
perform. (People, children, animals, or obstacles such as stones, fence posts, steel wire).
Ensure adequate visibility and illuminated work area. The safety distance specified in the machine’s
instruction manual must be strictly observed.
The operator's clothing must be tight. Avoid loose clothing.
The operator must be fresh and rested before using the machine, as well as taking breaks in case of
fatigue, to ensure their own and others' safety.
The operator should ensure varying working positions and take frequent breaks to avoid
musculoskeletal disorders.
The operator must not leave the driver 's seat while driving.
It is not permitted to “ride along” on the machine during transport and operation.
When working on high-voltage power lines, additional distance and caution are required.
