The machine can tip over when the multi 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.

3.6 NECCESSARY PROTECTIVE MEASURES (m)
The machine must be used in the following ways:
Make sure that the operator of the machine has read this instruction manual, as well as instruction
manuals for the multi carrier and used vehicle.
Make sure that the operator of the machine has been instructed in the use of the machine.
Wear hearing protection if the machine is operated from a cabin that is not soundproof or if the cabin
windows are open.
Make sure all warning labels are always visible and that none of them are missing, damaged or
illegible.
Check that all guards are fitted correctly and that there are no damaged or loose parts.
Make sure that all hydraulic pipes and hoses are positioned correctly to avoid rubbing, stretching,
squeezing, or breaking them.
Check the work area and remove any strings, poles, large stones, and other dangerous objects before
operation.
Drive at a safe speed adapted to the terrain as well as any other vehicles and obstacles.
Make sure that the vehicle is stable and meets the machine manufacturer's recommendations for
minimum weight - if necessary, use extra counterweight.
Pay attention to electric wires, if in doubt about distance contact local power plant.
It is recommended to use impact-resistant guards on the vehicle.
Check that the machine's fittings, connections, and couplings are in good condition.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing and installing the machine from the vehicle.
Disconnect the hydraulics for the machine, stop the engine, apply the parking brake, and remove the
key before leaving the cab.
If necessary, remove annoying residual material from the area.
When inspecting, repairing or other work on the stationary machine, great care must be taken.
Always wear gloves, safety shoes, safety glasses and appropriate tools to carry out the work.

3.7 WARNINGS ON HOW NOT TO USE THE MACHINE (h)
Do not use the machine in the following ways!
Do not operate the machine until the relevant instruction manuals have been read and understood!
The operator must also be familiar with the operating handles according to the instruction manual for
the connected multi carrier!
Do not operate the machine if there are others within machine safety distances!
Do not allow an inexperienced person to operate the machine unattended!
Do not walk within the working area / safety zone of the machine. (Risk of injury!)
Do not try to locate a leak in the hydraulics by hand, use a piece of cardboard instead!
At no time should children be allowed to play on or near the machine!
Do not perform any maintenance or adjustment without first removing the hydraulic pressure from the
machine, lowering the multi 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!
Do not stop the engine while the hydraulic pressure is activated!
Do not attempt to use the machine for any purpose other than that for which it was intended!
Do not leave the cab of the vehicle without removing the ignition key!
Do not transport the machine while the hydraulic pressure is activated!
Do not use a machine that is not maintained or if some of its guards are missing or damaged!
Do not operate the vehicle or any of the control levers from a position other than the driver's seat!
Do not drive with mounted machines where rotating parts are facing the cab of the vehicle, as this
poses a risk of stones and material being thrown at the driver!

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 carrying out maintenance work under the multi carrier, secure with suitable support elements.
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
