Stop the engine and remove the keys from the ignition
Switch the engine off as soon as you leave the tractor. Remove the
key from the ignition to prevent the tractor from being started uninten-
tionallywhile youare inthe dangerzone.Thisespeciallyapplieswhen
changing the settings or while maintenance and repairs are carried
out.
Keep clear from a running machine
Fertiliser is spread over a great distance during operation. Ensure that
nobody comes within working reach of the machine during operation.
Do not come into the working area before all parts of the machine are
standing still.
The power lift must only be operated outside of the danger zone
In the area between the tractor and the machine, there is a danger of
being pinned down by the power lift. The power liftmust therefore only
be engaged from beyond the danger zone. Secure the tractor with the
parking brake and wheel chocks to ensure it would not roll away.
Do not approach the machine until it has come to a complete
standstill
The rotating parts of the machine never come to an immediate halt,
theyalways winddown. Themoving partsof amachinearenotalways

to a complete halt.
Never go underneath an elevated, unsecured machine
The machine or parts of the machine could accidentally fall due to
waning pressure, for instance. Always place the machine on proper
supports if you have to work under the machine!

If the machine is engaged or operated unintentionally you could get
struck in moving parts, which could lead to injury. Be extra alert when
working in the vicinity of moving parts. Always keep in mind that the
motor or parts of the machine could still be retaining some energy.
