5. Sources of danger
The 2-wheel tractor may be used on both commercial and private properties.
•Check that the unit is safe to operate and to be used in traffic each time before putting
it into operation!
•Observe the generally applicable regulations for safety and the prevention of accidents in
addition to the instructions in this operating manual.
•When using the 2-wheel tractor on public roads, the stipulations of the respective
national road traffic laws in their current versions apply.
•Familiarise yourself with all devices and controls as well as their functions before starting
work. Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly! Doing so during
the work assignment is too late!
•The user is responsible for the safety of third parties in the working area!
•It is forbidden to enter or remain in the working and danger area of the 2-wheel trac-
tor!
•Before starting up, check the immediate vicinity - children! Ensure that visibility is ade-
quate!
•Do not let the engine run in closed rooms!
•The driver should wear tight-fitting clothes. Avoid loose-fitting clothes. Wear sturdy shoes!
•Be careful when handling fuel – increased risk of fire! Never refill the fuel tank in the prox-
imity of open flames, igniting sparks and hot engine parts. Do not smoke when refuelling!
•Before refuelling, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key (if one exists). Do not
refuel in closed rooms. Do not spill fuel! Use a suitable pouring aid.
•In order to avoid the risk of fire, keep the tractor clean!
•Be careful when handling brake fluids and battery acid – they are toxic and caustic!
•Turn off the engine and pull off the spark plug cap before performing maintenance
and cleaning work.
•Observe permissible axle loads, overall weights and transport dimensions!
•Particular caution is necessary when coupling or uncoupling attached tools to or from
the tractor!
•Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly!
6. Lighting devices on single-axle tractors
Distinction must be made here whether the single-axle tractor
•is guided by a pedestrian via the steering shafts,
•is driven from a sulky (single-track trailer) or
•is driven from a trailer.
In the dark, or when the necessitated by the weather, single-axle tractors guided by pedestrians
via the steering shafts require at least a single lamp with a white light, which must be affixed
to the left-hand side (UK: right-hand side) or carried by hand so that its light is well visible for
oncoming or overtaking traffic (Section 50, paragraph 2, German Highway Code and section 17,
paragraph 5, German Highway Code).
Single-axle tractors driven from a sulky or a trailer must be equipped with
•one headlight up to a vehicle width of 1000 mm or
•two headlights if the vehicle width exceeds 1000 mm. If a single-axle trailer is attached,
the headlights can be affixed to it (Article 50, Section 2, German Highway Code).
If the single-axle tractor is driven from a single-track sulky, this must be fitted with a triangular
rear reflector and a rear light (Article 53, Section 6, German Highway Code); blinkers (direction
,
5
indicator lights) are not required for a sulky (Article 54, Section 5, No. 5, German Highway
Code).
No operating permit and no driving licence is required for single-axle traction and working ma-
chines guided by pedestrians via steering shafts.
If a single-axle tractor and trailer used for agricultural or forestry purposes is transported on a
public road, operating permission is sufficient for a design-related top speed of 20 km/h. This
must accompany the tractor. The name and place of residence of the keeper of the vehicle must
be displayed by a sign on the trailer. A Class L driver’s licence is sufficient. Permission is re-
quired for a design-related speed exceeding 20 km/h.
7. Operator position, danger area
The operator position on the 2-wheel tractor is located at the two steering shafts (controls)
in front of the 2-wheel tractor.
It is forbidden to enter the danger area during work.
This area begins in the middle of the wheel axle and extends to the sides and to the front by vary-
ing distances, depending on the attached tool.

Also refer to the operating manuals for the respective attached devices!
Working on slopes with a gradient higher than 40% or in uneven terrain
On slopes with a gradient of over 40% or in uneven terrain, the device can slip or tip over; the
danger zone is extended by the possible slipping or tipping area of the machine.
•Check the terrain before starting work.
•Select the correct tyres: Twin tyres, additional iron slope wheels, spiked rollers…
•Use the maximum possible track and axle width.
•Check the tyre pressures.
•It is compulsory to wear sturdy, closed shoes with gripping soles. Work with crampons if
necessary.
•Keep persons clear of the danger area.
•Adapt your working speed to the surroundings.
•Keep a constant watch on the lie of the terrain.
•Pay attention to the weather – increased risk of accident in wet weather
8. Requirements for the operating personnel
Only authorised persons may work with the 2-wheel tractor.
The minimum age for operators is 16 years. No operating permit and no driving licence is re-
quired for single-axle traction and working machines guided by pedestrians via steering shafts.
The operator is responsible for the safety of third parties in the working area.

•Do not alter or repair supporting and safety-relevant parts (frame, axles etc.).
•In the case of damage to the appliance, switch it off immediately. Remove the spark
plug cap and have the damage repaired!
•If the appliance is to be used for mowing crops that are classified as foodstuffs, parts
which come into contact with the foodstuffs must not be lubricated with machine oil
or grease or protected against rust.
•If there is a danger of slipping on a sloping terrain, an accompanying person must
hold the 2-wheel tractor with a rod or a rope. The accompanying person must
remain above the vehicle at a safe distance from the working tools.
11. Protective devices
The 2-wheel tractor is equipped with a clutch/safety stop lever on the steering shaft
(left), which disengages the drive via the clutch when released – the engine continues to run. The
drive and the clutch are switched off (see fig. 2 - page 12).
The clutch/safety stop lever serves as an emergency stop switch in dangerous situations where
fast switch-off is required. It swivels automatically into the ‘STOP’ position when released.
It is locked there and can only be actuated when the catch is pressed. Stop the 2-wheel trac-
tor immediately if there are any malfunctions with the clutch/safety stop lever. Have the
malfunction rectified immediately!
Caution!
The engine runs on due to the centrifugal mass!
Tools running on – danger of injury!
•The clutch/safety stop lever must be depressed (operating position) during operation.
•The clutch/safety stop lever must always be in the Drive OFF position when starting the
machine.
•It is forbidden by to leave the clutch/safety stop lever in the start position (cou-
pling/safety stop lever is not depressed) when the machine is to be cleaned – e.g. in order to
clean the snow hoe. First bring the appliance to a halt only by switching off the engine and
then clean the tool.
It is forbidden to disable the safety stop lever by tying or taping it up.
