Safety
For your safety
In this chapter you will find general safety instructions. Each chapter
of the operating manual contains additional specific safety instruc-
tions, which are not described here. Observe the safety instructions
•in the interest of your own safety,
•in the interest of the safety of others, and
•to ensure the safety of the machine.
Numerous risks can result from handling agricultural machines in the
wrong way. Therefore, always work with special care and never under
pressure.
The employer should:
Inform personnel working with the machine of these safety instruc-
tions at regular intervals and according to statutory regulations.
Warning symbols
On the machine you will find decals for your safety. The decals must
not be removed. If decals become illegible or begin to peel off, you can
order new decals and attach them in the place of the old ones.

Safety rules
General recommen-
dations
Before starting up, check that the machine is not endangering any per-
sons and that the protection and safety devices (e.g. guards, hoods,
warning labels, etc.) are in place and functional.
Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all parts, controls and
functions of your machine. Once at work, it will be too late !
Should an incident occur, stop the machine immediately and identify
the cause. Repairs should be carried out before starting up again.
No repair operations should be carried out on the machine unless :
•all measures have been taken to prevent the machine starting up
again accidentally (e.g. PTO and/or hydraulic hoses uncoupled,
tractor engine switched off),
•the frame is chocked to prevent it dropping,
•the vehicle is immobilised by appropriate means.
Before getting down from the tractor, position the machine on the
ground, apply the handbrake and remove the key from the ignition.
No-one should pass between the tractor and the machine unless the
vehicle is immobilised (handbrake, chocks, etc), the engine switched
off and the ignition key removed.
Coupling
Follow the coupling instructions carefully :
•when manoeuvring, select the tractor's lowest possible forward
gear,
•there should be no-one between the tractor and the machine when
manoeuvring the tractor or lifting,
•the category of tractor hitch must be adapted to the hitching cha-
racteristics of the machine,
•during coupling operations, the hydraulic controls of the tractor
should be in such a position that the linkage does not move while
handling,
•the hitch must be locked and should not unhook when lowered.
Weight distribution is modified by coupling up the machine. The maxi-
mum vehicle axle weight (see manufacturer's instructions) must not
be exceeded. If too much load is taken off the front axle, additional
weight should be placed to retain control of vehicle steering.
When coupling or uncoupling the implement, put any support equip-
ment provided in place to prevent machine imbalance.

8
Safety
Transport
Comply with the highway code when driving on public roads.
When cornering, beware of machine offset and weight transfer. Adapt
your speed.
In transit, secure the lower lifting arms to prevent them from swinging
out.
The machine must not be moved outside the field or near people until
the fold-away extensions or the fold-away or tipping accessories (if
any) have been locked in the transport position.
In transit, the hydraulic hoses to the folding cylinders must be discon-
nected to prevent accidental unfolding.
On machines equipped with a transport carrier, secure the carrier loc-
king system before taking the machine onto the road.
When driving, the lift control should be positioned so as to prevent the
implement from being accidentally lowered.
Check that your hitch complies with local road safety legislation. If the
case arises, you are responsible for fitting and testing transport equi-
pment (e.g. lighting, signals, guards, etc.) corresponding to the cha-
racteristics of your tractor-machine assembly and the applicable sta-
tutory requirements. Make sure that the dimensions of the machine
comply with the highway code.
It is forbidden to carry passengers on the implement at work or in tran-
sit
The brakes must be coupled up for all movements (no single-wheel
braking).

Safety
9
Use
Nobody must enter the movement area of the folding extensions or fol-
ding or tilting accessories (where these exist) if these have not been
locked by the system provided for that purpose. This system can be a
chain, pin, rigid rod or a controlled double valve.
Before starting up, make certain that the surrounding area is free (no
children in the vicinity, etc.). Make certain that you have sufficient visi-
bility.
Any intervention on the machine is prohibited when the tractor is mo-
ving. Keep a safety distance of at least 5 m in relation to the moving
machine (drive, movement of any part of the machine, movement of
the tractor hitch).
For machines equipped with covering discs, edging discs, retractable
shanks, levelling boards, track cleaner shanks or any other accessory
with a vertical setting, you are advised to keep a safety distance in the
event of accidental fall of the equipment during setting. You are ad-
vised to wear safety shoes.
Serious injury and even death may result from contact with electrical
power lines. Take all precautions if you move or use the machine close
to power lines to avoid any contact.
When using on uneven ground, the tractor may deviate from its trajec-
tory when it encounters a hole, ditch or other irregularities in the ter-
rain.
Only authorise a single person, the operator, on the tractor when the
tractor and machine are in operation.

10
Safety
Maintenance
No intervention must be made within the radius of the tractor - tool unit
without the brakes or vehicle immobilisation system being engaged.
When changing parts on the machine, you are advised to be careful of
all parts with sharp edges or angles. We recommend wearing safety
gear (helmet, safety shoes, gloves, etc.).
For machines equipped with folding extensions, be certain to follow
the instructions in the present handbook for assembly, disassembly
and setting.
It is strictly forbidden to disassemble springs used as safety devices
for working parts: this operation must be entrused to a specialist.
Regularly check tightening of the bolts, pressure of tyres and the con-
dition of the hydraulic circuit.
Before performing welding work, disconnect the electrical units (where
there are any) and disconnect the tractor alternator and battery where
the tractor is hitched up.
Never direct the jet of a high pressure cleaner directly onto the bea-
rings, the hydraulic pipes, electrical units and other sensitive compo-
nents on the machine (risk of damage). Beware of the jet bouncing
back off some surfaces.
Power take-off
Respect the instructions of the cardan joint manufacturer.
Only use the cardan drive provided for the machine and equipped with
the regulation protections.
Always have any person standing close to the machine move away
before starting up the drive.
The power take-off rotation speed must correspond to the maximum
rotation allowed by the machine.

Safety
11
Uncoupling the ma-
chine
There is an increased risk of injury when uncoupling the machine from
the tractor ! Therefore :
•Secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll forwards or
backwards.
•Never stand between the tractor and the machine during coupling.
•Actuate the three-point power lift system slowly and carefully.
•Make sure the machine is standing on a secure and level place.
•Only disconnect hydraulic tubes if there is no pressure in the trac-
tor and machine hydraulic system.
Hydraulic installation
The hydraulic installation is pressurised.
On hydraulic connection, make certain that the tractor installation and
tool are not pressurised.
Make hydraulic connection in compliance with the instructions in the
user's handbook. Identify the connectors using a colour code to avoid
incorrect connections (a reversal of functions can create accidents).
Before any intervention on the hydraulic system, block the folding ex-
tensions and hydraulically controlled accessories in their rest position,
lower pressure and stop the tractor engine.
Further regula-
tions

In addition to those listed above, please observe the following safety
instructions:
•Accident-prevention regulations
•Generally recognised safety regulations, occupational health re-
quirements and road traffic regulations
•Information in this operating manual
