machine.
WARNING
Read the maintenance manual
The machine must not be used prior to having read and understood
the user’s manual. To avoid serious or even fatal injuries: First read
the user’s manual.
WARNING
Risk of collision
Risk of collision due to excessive width. To avoid any collision: Make
sure that all the retractable or folding elements are blocked in
transport position.
WARNING

any adjustments, make sure that all the parts of the machine are
immobile. In order to avoid any serious injury: be careful not to bump
against sharp or blunt edges.

Safety
13
WARNING
Risk of projected debris
Metal fragments may be projected if you hit the coulters directly with a
hammer.
To avoid any serious injury: systematically use the Knock-On tool
(A133147030) and always be sure to wear protective safety glasses.
CAUTION
Maximum hydraulic pressure
The tractor’s hydraulic pressure must not exceed 210 bar (3,045 psi).
To avoid damage to the machine and injuries: check the hydraulic
pressure.

Safety
14
Meaning of symbols
specific to the Knock-on
accessory
Risk of projections in the event of hitting the coulter with a hammer.
\ WARNING
Never directly hit the coulters with a hammer.
The coulters are made of treated steel. During assembly or
disassembly operations, never directly hit the coulters with a
hammer. Such a hit could produce fragments, break parts and
cause serious injuries. Therefore, to avoid contact between two
hard parts, use the specific Knock-on tool.
\ IMPORTANT
Wearing a visor or safety glasses is mandatory in order to
avoid any injury.
It is compulsory to wear gloves.
The following safety equipment is highly recommended.
•Safety shoes,
•Covering clothes,
•Hard hat,
•etc.

Signaling systems for North
America
Signaling systems, panels and stickers are installed on the machine in
order to ensure complete road safety. The signaling systems must
always be functional. Under no circumstances are you to remove the
panels and stickers, but instead you must replace them if they are
missing or illegible. You can order new stickers just like a spare part
from your specialist dealer.
The user must ensure that the tractor/machine unit is compliant
with current prescriptions regarding machine transport on the
road network.

Panels
In some states of the United States and some Canadian provinces,
additional signaling is mandatory for road transport:
Slow vehicle indicator
This triangle-shaped panel is placed so as to always remain visible in
back of the machine while in the transport position. This signaling
device is necessary:
•at a road speed of less than 50 km/h (30 mph)
and
•if the hitched machine conceals the slow vehicle panel of the
tractor when in transport position.
Maximum speed indicator
Circular panel bearing the indication 50 km/h or 30 miles per hour.
This panel needs to be placed on the tractor when not already present
and when the certified tractor speed exceeds 50 km/h (30 mph).

Safety rules
General recommen-
dations
Before starting up, check that the machine is not endangering any
persons and that the protection and safety devices (e.g. guards,
hoods, warning labels, etc.) are in place and functional.
Before you start work, familiarize yourself with all the equipment,
controls and functions on your machine. Once you have started, it is
too late.
If an operating incident occurs:
Shut down the machine immediately.
Identify the cause of the incident.
Carry out repairs out before starting up the machine again.
No work should be attempted on the machine delivered unless:
•all measures have been taken to prevent unintentional start-up
(uncouple the power take-off and/or hydraulic hoses, tractor
engine switched off, for example).
•chocks have been placed under the frame to prevent it falling,
•the vehicle has been immobilized using the appropriate systems.
Before leaving the tractor:
Put the machine on the ground.
Activate the hand brake.
Remove the ignition key.
No one should stand between the tractor and the machine unless the
vehicle is immobilized (hand brake, chocks, etc.), the engine is
switched off and the ignition key removed.

Safety
19
Hitching
Follow instructions for hitching to the letter:
•when maneuvering, select the tractor’s lowest possible forward
speed,
•the type of tractor hitch should be adapted to suit the machine’s
hitch,
•when coupling, position the tractor’s hydraulic controls such that
the hitch does not move during handling,
•the hitch must be locked and should not come detached by itself in
the lower position.
The weight distribution is altered when the machine is hitched. The
maximum load per vehicle axle (see manufacturer’s notice) should not
be exceeded. If there is insufficient loading on the front axle, extra
weights must be installed, so that control over the vehicle’s steering is
retained.
When hitching or unhitching the tool, put any support equipment
provided in place to prevent the machine from becoming unbalanced.
\ HAZARD
Never stand between the machine and the tractor during
maneuvers.
No one should stand between the tractor and the machine when
maneuvering the tractor or during lifting operations. This could
cause serious injury or even death.

Safety
20
Transport
Regulations
•Respect the driving code at all times when on the road
on the road network.
•Check that your hitch meets local road safety requirements. If
necessary, you are responsible for fitting and testing transport
equipment(e.g.lighting,signals,guards,etc.) correspondingto the
characteristics of your tractor-machine assembly and the
applicable statutory requirements.
•Ensure that the machine’s dimensions are compatible with the
highway code.
Passenger transportation
Carrying passengers on the working tool or during transport is
prohibited.
Braking
For all movements, brakes must be coupled (no single wheel braking).
Trips off the farm field
No movement should be made outside an agricultural field or close to
people, until folding extensions or folding or tipping accessories
(where they exist) have been locked in the transport position.
Hydraulics
In transit, the hydraulic hoses of the folding jacks must be
disconnected to prevent accidental unfolding.
Lifting
•During transport, lock the lower lift arms to prevent any sideways
movement.
•During travel, the lift control must be positioned, so as to prevent
the tool from being accidentally lowered.
Axle
For machines with a transport axle, secure the locking system in place
prior to traveling on the road.
Locking of hydraulic jacks
On the machines fitted with locking devices, verify that the foldable
parts of the machine have been correctly locked and moreover that
the hydraulic safety equipment is well locked.
\ IMPORTANT
Machine movement
On a curved road section, beware of machine movements as well
as a shifting of the load. Adjust your forward speed accordingly.
