Safety instructions
15
Hitching the
machine
Increased risk of injury
While hitching the machine to the tractor there is an increased danger
of injury. Therefore always:
•Secure the tractor and the machine from rolling away.
•Switch off all hydraulic systems.
•Switch off all electronic systems.
•Switch off the tractor engine.
•Remove the ignition key.
•Never stay between the tractor and the machine during hitching.
Failure to comply may cause damage to the machine and even life
threatening injuries.

16
Safety instructions
Hydraulics
Hydraulic couplings only pressureless
Only connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor if all hydraulic systems are
pressureless. A pressurized hydraulic system can trigger unforeseen
movements at the machine and may cause serious damage or fatal
injuries.
High pressure in the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. All pipes, hoses,
couplings and connecting passageways have to be checked for leaks
and other damage on a regular basis. Only use suitable tools when
checking for leaks. Repair any damage immediately. Escaping oil can
cause injuries and burns. Seek medical care immediately when
injuries occur.
»Maintenance«, see page 82.
Searching for hydraulic oil leaks
Never search for leaks by touching hydraulic hoses and hydraulic
connections, even when your hands are protected with a protective
skin cream or oil-resistant gloves. Always use a piece of paper when
looking for leaks.
Due to high pressure and very little holes in case of leakages, the
hydraulic oil will go through protection devices and your skin!
Hydraulic oil may come into your bloodstream, which is
lifethreatening!

Safety instructions
17
Road transport
Ensure road safety
If you intend to transport the machine on public roads, the machine
and the combination of tractor and machine have to comply to current
Road Traffic Act’s requirements. This to guarantee your own safety
and the safety of other road users.
For example ensure:
•The license plate, road lighting, warning and protective equipment
is properly installed and functioning. Compliance with the
permissible transport dimensions, weights and axle loads.
•Compliance with the speed limits:
- National and local speed limits.
- Speed limits as indicated in the approval of the machine.
- Never exceed the maximum design speed of 25 km/h, in
case there are no speed limits indicated in the approval or
in case there is no approval.
•Compliance with the brake requirements of the tractor-machine
combination.
Failure to meet the Road Traffic Act’s requirements can result in fatal
accidents.
Tyre pressure and tyre condition
Check the tyres at a regular base. Bad tyres and an incorrect tyre
pressure will reduce the tyre lifetime and can lead to unpredictable
driving charasteristics of the machine.
Block all hydraulic valves
To avoid inadvertently activation of machine components, activate all
mechanical and/or hydraulic valve locks at the machine. Also lock the
hydraulic valves at the tractor, or disconnect the hydraulic hoses for
machine operation from the tractor.
Always switch off the electronic systems.
Disconnect the 12V power supply cable from the tractor.
Carrying people and objects on the machine is prohibited
Neither persons nor objects are allowed to be transported at the
machine at any time. Only parts stored in their dedicated storage
locations are alllowed to be transported at the machine. Riding on the
machine is hazardous and strictly prohibited.

18
Safety instructions
No bale on the machine
It is not allowed to transport a bale on the machine. Transporting bales
will affect steering, braking capability and driving performance of the
combination. Traffic accidents with serious damage or fatal injuries
can occur.
Altered driving and braking performance
Driving and braking performances will change when the machine is
attached to the tractor. Take the width and weight of the machine into
account, especially when cornering. A driving style that is not adapted
to altered conditions can cause accidents.
Adapted speed
In the event of bad road conditions and excessive speed, very high
forces can occur that subject can overload the tractor and machine.
Adapt the driving speed according to the road circumstances to avoid
accidents with serious or fatal injuries.

Safety instructions
19
Operation
First use only after instruction
It is not allowed to operate the machine until distribution company
employees, company representatives or manufacturer’s employees
have given instruction. If initial operation is performed without
instruction, damage to the machine can be caused by operating errors
and accidents can occur.
Ensure that the machine is in perfect technical condition
Do not operate the machine unless it is in perfect condition. Check all
important components and (let) replace any defective component
