Calculations
The calculations can be made with the values given in the above
chart.
Actual total weight
The actual total weight must not exceed the permitted total weight.
The actual total weight (in kg) is calculated as follows:
Actual front axle load
The actual front axle load must not exceed the permitted maximum
load. The actual total front axle load (in kg) is calculated as follows:
Actual rear axle load
The actual rear axle load must not exceed the permitted maximum
load. The actual total rear axle load (in kg) is calculated as follows:
Ballast required in the front
The minimum load on the front axle must be 20% of the basic weight
ofthe tractor.Witha mountedmachinein thepower liftbehind thetrac-
tor the minimum required ballast (in kg) in front of the tractor is calcu-
lated as follows:
If the calculated value is negative no additional ballast is required.
Actual total weight (kg) = A + D + E

Ballast required in the rear
The minimum load on the rear axle must be 45% of the basic weight
of the tractor. With a machine mounted in the front power lift the mini-
mum required ballast (in kg) in the power lift behind the tractor is cal-
culated as follows:
If the calculated value is negative no additional ballast is required.
The calculated value must be less or equal to ( < ) the permitted val-
ues. The front and rear loads must be greater than the minimum load
of the front and rear axles respectively.
T IP If you have access to a weigh bridge with sufficient measuring range
the total weight and the front and rear axle load can also be deter-
mined by weighing them.

Machine
Check the condition of the machine before use
Check the following before using the machine:
•is the machine in a proper, functioning condition?
•are all lights, safety and warning provisions correctly mounted and
in good working condition?
•are the brakes of the machine working properly and have they
been adjusted to the correct position?
Using an unsafe machine could result in personal injury and damage
to the machine.
The machine should only carry, not pull!
It is not permitted to use the machine for pulling as this would have
detrimental consequences to its construction. This could lead to dan-
gerous situations for bystanders, unsafe operation or damage to
crops.
Do not stand on the machine
Being on the machine during activities and transport is prohibited. You
may only be on the parts of the machine intended for the purpose if it
is standing still and prevented from rolling by means of parking brake
and wheel chocks. Being on the machine while in any other state
could lead to serious injury.
Never work on a running machine
Never work on the machine while it is running. A running machine has
several moving parts which can not be seen. Wait until all parts have
come to a complete halt. Moving parts can cause serious injuries.
Safety decals
Follow the instructions on the stickers
The safety decals on the machinegive important advice for a risk free
operation. Respect them to ensure your safety.
Replace any safety decals and safety signs missing or illegible
When parts with a safety or warning decal are replaced, the replace-
ment part must be provided with the same safety or warning decal.
Stickers that are not legible must be replaced so that they would be
clearly legible at all times.

Coupling shaft
Use the correct coupling shaft
Only use coupling shafts complying with the manufacturer’s specifica-
tion for that specific use! In ordertoensure protection ofboth man and
machine exercise extreme caution when working at a coupling shaft
other then described in this manual and/or on the instruction at the
coupling shaft.
Modifications to and other special activities at coupling shafts are only
permitted with the explicit written instruction and approval of the man-
ufacturers of both themachine and the coupling shaft. Use the correct
tools and original parts to ensure a good performance and maximum
safety.Theuseofanincorrectcouplingshaftcancausedamagetothe
machine.
Mount the appropriate protection
Externally accessible coupling shafts, the tractor's PTO shafts and
machine input-axle must be equipped with appropriate guards and
tubes. Working without guarding can cause serious or deadly injuries.
Replace protective coupling shaft tubes when required
Replace thecouplingshaftprotection sleeves at thefirst signs ofwear.
Protection sleeves can wear without being noticed. Worn or damaged
protection sleeves can cause serious or deadly injuries.
Protect the PTO shaft end well
Slidethe protectionsleeve overthe PTOshaftas soonas thecoupling
shaft has been removed. Clothingcould become entangled into an un-
protected PTO shaft end that could lead to serious injury.
Hydraulic system
Hydraulic oil is under high pressure
Never try to stop a leak with your fingers. Never try to locate a hydrau-
lic leak or try to contain it by hand! When inspecting always use appro-
priate aid (e.g. a piece of wood or sheet metal) and wear safety
goggles, safety gloves and gloves! High pressure fluid easily pene-
trates skin and clothes, causing severe injuries. In the event of injury,
contact your physician immediately!
Do not exceed the maximum hydraulic pressure of 210 bars
Prevent the pressure in the hydraulic system from exceeding 210
bars! Working with higher pressure may damage your machine and
result in dangerous situations.

Disconnect the control box from the electric system as soon as no
morefunctionsareneededin ordertopreventunintentionaloperation.
Keeping the control box connect can be dangerous and can damage
the machine
as well as cause bodily injury.
Battery cables must be connected properly
Always disconnect the battery cable (negative pole) from the electric
system when working onthe machine. Connectthe battery cables cor-
rectly: Positive pole first, followed by the negative pole. Always equip
the positive pole with the appropriate protective cap to avoid a short
circuit as this could lead to damage to the tractor and machine.
Use
Only use after training
The machine may not be operated before the user has been properly
instructed by the dealer or an authorised representative of the manu-
facturer.

Keep the protection intact
The protection of the machine, e.g. shields and guards, protects from
penetratinginto dangerareas! Therefore all protection must be kept in
optimal condition and moved into the right position prior to starting to
work! The absence of protective gear could lead to injury.

Safety
20
Transport
Check the decoupling ropes of the quick coupling
Thedecouplingropesmustneverbetense andmustprovide sufficient
freedom for movement, even with the power lift in the lowest position
as it could otherwise accidentally disconnect the quick coupling.
Drive carefully
Moving behaviour, manoeuvrability and braking performance are influ-
enced by a trailed machine. When taking turns, pay attention to the ex-
tended width/length (turning circle) and/or large mass (sluggishness)
of the machine! Ensure sufficient braking effect and safe manageabil-
ity! Careless driving could lead to serious injury and damage to the
machine.
Adjust the driving speed
High driving speeds and uneven surfaces on the road or field can put
considerable strain on the machine and cause the tractor or machine
to be overstrained, which could lead to damage. Always adjust the
driving speed to the conditions of the environment and the terrain!
When driving up and down hills and across slopes, do not make any
sudden turns!
O n the field
Do not leave the driving cabin
Never leave the operator’s seat during operation or transport. The
driver can be in the danger zone of the tractor or the machine and
could not have a properview of the immediate vicinity. This could lead
to injury to the driver or third parties.
Do not allow the machine to tilt
When driving up and down hills and across slopes, do not make any
sudden turns! Do not drive transverse on a slope with a steep angle.
Tilting can cause serious machine damage.
Blockade of a security device
In case of blockade or operation of a security device, never work on
the machine without:
•switching off the PTO shaft,
•switching off the electronic control system,
•releasing the pressure from the hydraulic system,
•switching off the tractor engine,
•the key must be removed from the ignition,
•engage the parking brake of the tractor.
PTO shaft rotates after disengaging
After switching off the PTO shaft, the machine will continue running
because of inertia. Keep a safe distance to the machine until the mov-
ing parts have come to a complete stop. Approaching the machine
while it is rotating can cause serious or deadly injuries.
