6. Accident prevention
Most accidents that occur during work, maintenance or transport of a
machine are due to non-observance of the most elementary rules of
accident prevention.
Therefore it is important that all persons involved with use of the ma-
chine are aware of it and comply with following rules:
•Before starting any operation, read the instruction manual and
note safety information!
•Before each use, check tractor / machine 3-point linkage, chains,
suspension of shaking arm as well as hydraulic hoses and ope-
rating elements that they are in properly condition.
•Switch-off PTO drive and tractor prior to any repair, maintenance
or cleaning operation!
•Driving on public road, shaker unit must be in adequate safe po-
sition!
•Drive slowly with shaking unit in working position!
•Operate the shaking head only, when the tractor is standing still!
•Never climb on the machine during any operation!
•Never remove any safety protection!
Note:
•Never enter working area during PTO drive shift in operation.
Accident risk in case of contact with PTO drive shaft.
For your personal safety, never wear loose clothing like
scarves…
•Prior to any operation, check PTO dive shaft length / overlap-
ping. Possibly a length adjustment will be required.
•Operate the machine only at the specified speed (max. 540 rpm)!

•Operate machine only with PTO drive unit fully protected, i.e.
universal joint shaft completely covered and additional protection
on tractor and LIPCO HSA. Make sure that the universal joint
shaft connections are securely locked!
•Attach the safety chain to avoid turning of PTO drive shaft pro-
tection during operation!
•The operator is responsible for compliance with applicable acci-
dent prevention regulations, in addition to the generally recog-
nized safety, occupational health and traffic safety regulations!
•Note:
Because of the maximum allowable additional tractor load,
please refer to adequate information, given by tractor manufac-
turer!
Lifting the LIPCO HSA with tractor’s 3-point linkage will increase
tractor’s axle load!
•Note:
Keep in mind the condition for maximum allowable slop angle of
the combination of tractor + LIPCO HSA.
Check especially the instructions of the tractor manufacturer with
regard to the maximum allowable slope angle with attached ma-
chines / load.
This concerns driving parallel to the slope or downslope.
Any operation not adapted to local conditions can cause serious
personal injuries or material damages because of tilting of the
combination of tractor + LIPCO HSA.
