2. General safety
2.1. Prudence of plough usage
During the usage and maintenance of the plough we should be always careful. We should follow
every safety rules described in the instruction.
Before the usage the operator should know how to operate the machine. The tractor driving can be
performed only by a qualified person who knows the Traffic Rules as he has to drive on the public
roads.
We should be sure, calm and moderate. It is not necessary to use the total engine power at the end
of the field, on the roads or in the traffic (while going across a village).
We should be careful and pay attention to other vehicles or pedestrians. Before starting the
machine be sure that there is nobody near it.
If there are children you should be especially attentive.
If any part of the instruction is not clear enough or should be explained, turn to our GRÉGOIRE-
BESSON local dealer.
THE PRUDENT MACHINE-OPERATOR IS THE BEST GUARANTEE AGAINST
ACCIDENTS
2.2. VISUAL INSPECTION
Check the plough attachments before the usage to be sure that there are not any loose bolts or
abraded spare part or damaged welding. Perform the necessary reparations or turn to the local
dealer or service. After the maintenance make it sure that everything is in the perfect order, that
every spare part or implement is on its place. During the designing or developing of a new
machine the most important thing is the safety of the user. The designers built into the machine
different safety systems. But you users and owners are responsible for the rules observing.
2.3. THE SIGNS FOR COMPREHENSION OF THE INFORMATION
This symbol means alertness.
Be alert, it you see this symbol on the machine or in the instruction, because there can

CHAPTER II – GENERAL SAFETY – Page 5
2.5. FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Have time to read the safety instructions or the messages on the mounted
matrices.
The safety matrices should be in good condition.
Put the new ones instead of damaged or missed matrices!
Do not remove safety elements!
Control if all the new spare parts are provided with suitable safety signs!
The changeable matrices and safety signs can be got at the local
GRÉGOIRE-BESSON dealer.
Learn the acceptable machine utilization.
Acquire reasonable and acceptable adjustments.
Do not stop learning before your acquire everything!
Do not allow to use the machine to such a person who has not participated in the training!
Keep the machine in good condition. The unacceptable maintenance and modifications can
damage the plough operation, its safety, its endurance and durability. The GRÉGOIRE-BESSON
company is not responsible for performance of any modification on the original construction.
2.6. BE PREPARED FOR CRITIC SITUATIONS
Show precautious attitude:
Always think of possibility of fire formation!
Fire-extinguisher and first-aid pack should always be near by.
For the prevention from the fire:
Keep the machine and accessories clean!
Clean the plough from plants, straw and leaves, as well as
from the lubricant overflow!
Systematically check the fire-extinguishers and be sure that
they have enough coagulation!

After the usage the first-aid pack should be filled again!
Have the telephone with aid numbers (doctor, ambulance, hospital, fire-brigade and
service) near by!
If the operator or mechanic works alone let his family or neighbors know about the type of
his work, the place and the time of coming back!
They should have CB radio or (charged) mobile telephone to get quick help in the case of
emergency.

CHAPTER II – GENERAL SAFETY – Page 6
2.7. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHES
Do not wear large clothes, because they can be caught in the
machine or in moving spare parts and some parts of your
body can be rived. For the work you should wear suitable and
of good size clothes. If you have long hair you must bind up
it.. Rings, watches or other jewelry can be caught that is why
you must take them off before every maintenance or
adjustment.
2.8. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHES
The usage and maintenance of a plough requires
special clothes wearing, for instance, secure boots
(thick), gloves and goggles (shield).
Besides the prolonged noise injury can cause
impairment of hearing or even surdity.
Wear protecting auditive appliance for example, ear-
protector or ear-plug to reduce the noise in the working
environment.
Wear protecting auditive appliance for example, ear-
protector or ear-plug to reduce the noise in the working
environment.
If special mechanical work should be done, use secure and protective equipment and other means
(protective masks, eye-preserves, welder’s helmet etc.)
This equipment can be got at your dealer or middleman.
2.9. BE CAREFUL AT STARTING IN ORDER TO AVOID
DRIVING OVER
Avoid all such damage or danger of being driven over.
Do not try to start the engine with short-circuit because the tractor can start at a high speed
abruptly.
Do not start the tractor from outside standing
on the ground. Start it only being in the cabin!
