3.4 Safety Instructions and Accident Prevention Regulations
1 Please follow all generally applicable safety and accident prevention regulations in addition
to the safety instructions contained in these operating instructions!
2 The attached warning and safety signs provide important information for safe operation. Pay
attention to these for your own safety!
3 When using public roads, make sure to observe the applicable traffic regulations!
4 Make sure that you are familiar with all equipment and controls as well as with their
functions before you begin working with the machine. It is too late to learn this when you are
using the machine for work!
5 The user should wear close fitting clothes. Avoid wearing loose or baggy clothing.
6 Keep the machine clean to prevent the danger of fire!
7 Before starting or moving the machine, make certain that nobody is in the vicinity of the
machine! (Watch for children!) Make sure that you have a clear view!
8 Carrying passengers during operation and transport on the working implement is not
permitted.
9 Couple implements correctly! Attach and secure implements to specified devices only!
10 When attaching or detaching implements, place the supporting devices in the correct
positions!
11 Use extreme caution when attaching or detaching implements onto or from the tractor!
12 Always attach ballast weights properly to the fixing points provided!
13 Observe permitted axle loads, gross weight and transport dimensions!
14 Check and attach transport equipment, such as lighting, warning devices and protective
equipment!
15 Actuating mechanisms (cables, chains, linkages etc.) for remote controlled devices must be
positioned in such a way that no movements are unintentionally triggered in any transport or
working positions.
16 Ensure that implements are in the prescribed condition for on-road travel and lock them in
place in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions!
17 Never leave the driver's seat when the vehicle is moving!
18 Always drive at the correct speed for the prevailing driving conditions! Avoid sudden
changes in direction when travelling uphill or downhill or across a gradient!
19 Hitched implements and ballast weights affect the driving, steering and braking response of
the machine. Make sure that you are able to brake and steer the machine as required!
20 Take into account the extension radius and/or inertia of an implement when turning corners!
21 Start up implements only when all safety devices have been attached and set in the
required position!
22 Keep safety equipment in good condition. Replace missing or damaged parts.
23 Keep clear of the working range of the machine at all times!
24 Do not stand within the turning and swivel range of the implement!
25 Never operate the hydraulic folding frames if anyone is inside the swivel range!
26 Parts operated by external power (e.g. hydraulically) can cause crushing and shearing
injuries!
27 Before leaving the tractor, lower the implement onto the ground, apply the parking brake,
switch off the engine and remove the ignition key!

3.5 Attached devices
1 Use extreme caution when attaching or detaching implements onto or from the tractor!
2 Couple the respective application devices to the appropriate couplings (e.g. three-point
suspension) only and secure them in a way (transport, use) that excludes inadvertent lifting
or lowering of the device.
3 When using three-point linkage, the attachment categories of the tractor and the device
(e.g. PTO speed, hydraulic system) must be coordinated!
4 When using the outside controls for the three-point linkage, do not step between the tractor
and the device (risk of injury)!

3.6 PTO operation
1Use only PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer!
2The guard tube and guard cone of the PTO shaft and the PTO guard must be attached and
in good working condition (on the implement side, too)!
3Make sure that the required tube covers are in place for PTO shafts in transport and
working position!
4Before installing or detaching PTO shafts, disengage the PTO, switch off the engine and
remove the ignition key!
5When using PTO shafts with an overload safety or free-running coupling which are not
shielded by the guard on the tractor, mount the overload safety or free-running coupling on
the implement side!
6Always make sure that the PTO shaft is properly installed and secured!
7Attach chains to prevent the PTO shaft guard from rotating with the shaft!
8Before switching on the PTO, make sure that the selected PTO speed of the tractor
matches the permissible implement speed!
9Before switching on the PTO shaft make sure that no person is in the danger zone of the
device!
10Never switch on the PTO if the engine is switched off!
11No one should be in the vicinity of the rotating PTO or PTO shaft when the PTO is in use.
12Always switch off the PTO shaft when the angle is too large or the PTO shaft is not
required!
13 Caution! After disengaging the PTO danger due to the flywheel running on! Keep away from
the implement during this time. The machine may be worked on only if it is completely at
standstill and if the flywheel is secured by the parking brake.
14Cleaning, lubricating or adjusting PTO driven implements or the PTO shaft only with PTO
disengaged, engine switched off and ignition key withdrawn! Secure the fly-wheel with the
parking brake.
15Place the disconnected PTO shaft onto the support provided!
16After detaching the PTO shaft, attach the protective cover to the PTO end!
17If damage occurs, correct this immediately before using the implement!

3.7 Hydraulic system
1The hydraulic system is pressurised!
2When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors, make sure the hydraulic hoses are
connected as specified!
3When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics, make sure that the
hydraulics of both the tractor and the implement have been depressurized!
4In the case of hydraulic connections between tractor and machine, the coupling sleeves and
plugs should be marked to ensure a proper connection! If the connectors are interchanged,
the function will be reversed (e. g. raising/lowering) - Risk of accident!
5When searching for leaks, use suitable aids to avoid the risk of injury!
6Liquids escaping under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury! Seek medical help immediately should injuries occur! Danger of infection!
7Before working on the hydraulic system, depressurise the system and switch off the engine!

4.4 Introduction
The disc mower is equipped with all safety devices (protective devices). However, it is not
possible to eliminate all potential hazards on this machine as this would impair its full functional
capability. Hazard warnings are attached to the machine in the relevant areas to warn against
any dangers. The safety instructions are provided in the form of so-called warning pictograms.
Important information on the position of these safety signs and what they mean is given below!
Pos: 35 /BA/Sic herheit/2. Vorange stellte Warnhi nweise/Warnung - Beschädig te oder unlesb are Warnbildzeic hen @ 120\m od_134330578 9479_78.doc x @ 1099853 @ @ 1
WARNING!
Danger of injury on machine parts if danger zones have not been marked when warning
pictograms are missing, damaged or illegible.
Danger of injury due to dangerous parts and other residual risks as users or third parties enter
the danger area or reach into it as they are not aware of the danger.
• Immediately replace damaged or illegible labels.
• Following repair work, always attach appropriate adhesive safety labels to all the replaced,
modified or repaired components.
• Never clean areas carrying an adhesive safety label using a high-pressure cleaner.
Familiarise yourself with the statement of the warning pictograms. The adjacent text and
the selected location on the machine provide information on the special danger spots on
the machine.

4.4.1 Re-Ordering the Adhesive Safety and Information Labels
Note
Every adhesive safety and information label is assigned an order number and can be ordered
directly from the manufacturer or from an authorized dealer (see Section "Contact").
4.4.2 Affixing the Adhesive Safety and Information Labels
Note - Affixing an adhesive label
Effect: Adhesion of the label
• The surface for affixing the adhesive label must be clean and free of dirt, oil and grease.
