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disengaged, engine switched off and ignition key withdrawn!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!

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: 47 /BA/Sic herheit/2. Vorangestel lteW arnhinweise/W arnung - Beschädigte oder unlesb are Warnbildzeic hen @ 120\mod_1343305789 479_78.docx @ 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.
