General safety advice
!Before commissioning the Front Terra-C
read the operating instructions and safety
advice. It is mandatory to stick to the safety
advice and the warnings stated in the
manual. The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for accidents and damages to
the Front Terra-C resulting from failure to
apply safety advice.
!The Front Terra-C should only be used,
maintained and repaired by persons, who
are familiar with the safety advice and who
are informed about the dangers.
!General safety advice and the regulations
for the prevention of accidents must be
observed.
!The safety instructions must be passed on
to other users.
Coupling and uncoupling
!Be careful when coupling or uncoupling
implements to and from the tractor. Do not
stand between tractor and the Front Terra-C,
when the tractor is moving.
!Fasten the implement only at the provided
points.
!Check and attach transport equipment, for
example lighting equipment, warnings and
possibly safety equipment.
!Observe the tractor's operating instructions.
!Do not use fully mounted cultivators
together with tracked tractors.
Damages on fully mounted
cultivators caused by the use of
tracked tractors are not covered by
the normal warranty conditions of
Kongskilde.
Safety ! Unauthorised persons are not allowed to stay
in the working area during work. No work is to
be carried out, if there are unauthorised
persons, especially children, in the vicinity of
the Front Terra-C or in the danger zone of
collapsible parts without keeping a safe
distance.
! It is prohibited to allow any person to ride on
the Front Terra-C.
! Never work diagonally to inclines or slopes,
where there is a risk that the tractor will
overturn.
Transportation by road/transport
! When using public traffic routes, observe the
regulations specific to the particular country.
! Never use public roads, if the admissible
transportation width of 3 m is exceeded.
! The attachment of implements should not
exceed the admissible total weight, the
admissible axle load and the weight-bearing
capacity of the tractor tyres.
! To ensure the ability to steer, the front axle
load should always amount to at least 20% of
the unladen weight of the tractor.
Before driving
! Observe admissible axle loads, total weights
and transport measurements.
! Performance, ability to steer and brake is
influenced by attached or coupled implements
and ballast weights. Ensure that there is
sufficient ability to steer and brake.
! Before starting off and using the Front Terra-
C, check the immediate area. Pay special
attention to children and that there is sufficient
visibility.
! For road transportation with the implement
raised, lock the control valves of the tractor.
! Fix the interlock bolts on the head stock in the
middle position to ensure a firm position of the
Front Terra-C during road transport.

Three point hitch
!The attachment category for the three
point hitch on the tractor and the
implement have to match properly, or the
apporpriate adjustments must be made!
! Before coupling or uncoupling implements
to the three point hitch, put the operating
mechanism into a position which will
prevent any accidental lifting or lowering!
! While the implement is in transport
position, ensure sufficient locking at the
side of the three point linkage!
Operation
!Before each use, check the implement
and the tractor as to their road and
operational safety!
! Before starting work, familiarise yourself
with all facilities and operating elements. It
is too late to do so during work activities!
! Examine work surface for hidden
obstacles which could pose a risk (for
example under-ground cables, pipes).
! Adjustments should only be made on the
implement when it is completely parked in
working position and when the engine of
the tractor is switched off. Remove ignition
key and apply hand brake!
! Wear tightly fitting work clothes.Avoid
loose clothes which could be caught in
movable parts.
! Wear strong shoes or preferably safety
shoes.
During transportation
! Riding on the implement during work and
transport is not permitted.
! Never leave the driver's cab during
transportation.
! When driving around corners and bends
take the extra width and/or the inertia of the
Front Terra-C as well as any attached
roller(s) or PTO-implement into
consideration.
After transportation
! Before leaving the tractor, set the implement
down onto the ground, switch
engine off, remove ignition key and apply
hand brake.
! No one should stand between tractor and
implement without securing the vehicle by
the hand brake and/or a chock.
! Before operating in the field, remove the
interlock bolts at the head stock to make the
Front Terra-C floating during work.
Maintenance
! Repairs, maintenance and cleaning work as
well as the solving of functional faults should
principally only be carried out, while the
engine is switched off. Remove ignition key
and apply hand brake.
! For maintenance on a raised up implement,
always secure the Front Terra-C on suitable
stands.
! When changing work tools, which have
cutting edges, use suitable tools and gloves.
! Spare parts should correspond at least to
the technical requirements defined by the
manufacturer. Use only original parts.
