2.4 Introduction
The KRONE rotary swather is equipped with all necessary safety devices (protective equipment). Not all potentially
dangerous positions on this implement can be fully secured, as this would be incompatible with full functional
capability.Youwillfindappropriatedangernotification
(= warning signs in yellow/black), indicating these residual risks.
The safety instructions are provided in the form of so-called warning pictograms. Important information on the
location of these safety signs and what they mean is given below!
Familiarize yourself with the meaning of the warning signs opposite. The text beside them
and their location on the machine indicates the machine's particularly dangerous areas.
