instruction is not a substitute for thorough study of the operating
instructions.
Therefore, carefully read the operating instructions before using the
machine for the first time. Please also observe the safety information in the
operating instructions.
Please note that any modifications not expressly mentioned or permitted in
these operating instructions may only be carried out with the written consent

1 SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS
General safety information
• Before each commissioning, check the machine and the
tractor for roadworthiness and operational safety!
• In addition to the information in these operating instructions,
observe the generally applicable safety and accident
prevention regulations!
• The machine may be used, maintained and repaired only by people who
are familiar with it and are aware of the hazards involved!
• When driving on roads with the machine lifted, the operating lever must
be locked against lowering!
• The attached warning stickers and information signs provide important
information for safe operation; observance of the information helps to
ensure your safety!
• When driving on public roads, always observe the respective regulations!
• Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all the equipment and
operating elements and their functions. It is too late to do so when
working in the field!
• The user's clothing should be tight fitted. Do not wear loose clothing!
• To avoid a fire hazard, keep the machine clean!
• Before commissioning and driving off, inspect the immediate vicinity
around the machine! (Children!) Ensure adequate visibility!
• Riding along on the machine when working in the field and when driving
on roads is strictly prohibited!
• Couple the machines in accordance with the regulations and only attach
them to the prescribed equipment!
• Special care must be taken when coupling and uncoupling machines to
and from the tractor!
• When attaching and detaching the machine, move the supports to the
respective position! (Stability!)
• Always attach weights to the intended fixing points according to the
regulations!
• Observe the permitted axle loads, gross weights and transport
dimensions!
• Check and fit transport equipment, e.g. lighting equipment, warning
devices and possible protecting devices!
• Release ropes for quick-release couplings must hang loosely and must not

5
be released automatically in the low position!
• Never leave the driver's cab while driving!
• Driving behaviour, steering and braking ability are influenced by mounted
or trailed machines and ballast weights. Therefore, ensure sufficient
steering and braking ability!
• When cornering, take into account the wide overhang and/or the flywheel
mass of the machine!
• Only put machines into operation when all safety guards are in place and
in the protective position!
• Standing in the working area is strictly prohibited!
• Do not remain in the rotating and swivel area of the machine!
• Hydraulic devices (such as folding frames) may only be operated when
there are no persons in the swivel area!
• There are crushing and shearing points at externally powered parts (e.g.
hydraulic parts)!
• Before leaving the tractor, place the machine on the ground, turn off the
engine and remove the ignition key!
• Never stand between the tractor and the machine without the vehicle
being secured against rolling away by the parking brake and/or by the
wheel chocks!
Mounted machines
• Before attaching and detaching machines to and from the three-point
connection, move the operating device to the position that prevents
unintentional lifting or lowering!
• When a three-point connection is used, it is essential that the attachment
categories of the tractor and the machine correspond or are coordinated!
• At the three-point linkage, there is a risk of injury at crushing and
shearing points!
• Never walk between the tractor and the machine when actuating the
external operation for the three-point connection!
• In the machine transport position, always ensure sufficient lateral locking
of the tractor's three-point linkage!
• When driving on roads with the machine lifted, the operating lever must
be locked against lowering!

6
Hydraulic system
• The hydraulic system is under high pressure!
• When connecting hydraulic rams and - motors, make sure that the
hydraulic hoses are connected in the prescribed manner!
• When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor's hydraulics, make
sure the hydraulics on both the tractor and the machine are
depressurised!
• In the case of hydraulic function connections between the tractor and the
machine, coupling sleeves and plugs should be marked accordingly to
prevent incorrect operation! If the connections are swapped - reverse
function (e.g. lifting/lowering) - there is a risk of accident!
• Check the hydraulic hoses regularly and replace them if they are
damaged or show signs of ageing! The replacement hoses must comply
with the technical requirements of the machine manufacturer!
• Use suitable equipment when searching for leaks since there is a risk of
injury!
• Liquids escaping under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the
skin and cause severe injury! In case of injury, see a doctor immediately!
Risk of infection!
• Before working on the hydraulic system, lower the machines,
depressurise the system and turn off the engine!
Maintenance
• Before carrying out any repair, maintenance and cleaning work or before
rectifying any malfunctions, ensure that the drive has been switched off
and the motor is at a standstill! - Remove ignition key!
• Regularly check whether nuts and screws are fitted correctly and re-
tighten them, if necessary!
• When carrying out maintenance work on the lifted machine, always
secure it with suitable support elements!
• Use suitable tools and gloves when changing working tools with cutting
edges!
• Dispose of oil, grease and filters properly.
• Always disconnect the power supply before working on electrical
components!
• When carrying out electrical welding work on the tractor and mounted
machines, always disconnect cables at the generator and the battery!
• Spare parts must at least comply with the technical adjustments
specified by the machine manufacturer! This is guaranteed when using
genuine spare parts!
