both sides of the machine;
• all guards are functional, especially the guards on the telescopic
jointed shaft;
• no other persons are present within the work zone;

5. Load the feeder wagon only with the tractor coupled and its engine
running. The mixing screw must be running during loading.
6. Stop the wagon with the parking brake before loading on a level
horizontal surface.
7. Be very careful during unloading in sheltered rooms. The rooms
shall have adequate ventilation and restrict the operation of the tractor
to minimum so that the operator is not exposed to hazardous effects of
engine exhaust gases.
8. Before operating the feeder wagon make sure that no persons or
foreign objects that would obstruct operation are present in the tank.
9. Repairs, lubrication, cleaning, and replacement of blades must be
performed with the tractor engine off, the ignition key removed and the
parking brake engaged.
10. Before exiting the tractor, always turn off the engine, remove the
ignition key and engage the parking brake.

wagon with/from the tractor. Couple the machine with tractors of

has completely stopped and with the tractor's engine off.

on public roads. Always adapt your driving speed to the conditions on
the road and do not exceed 25 km/h.

During storage the machine shall rest on its support, and be secured
by the parking brake or by chocking the wheels to prevent accidental

toe acc. to EN 345-1.
The boots must also provide secure grip around the ankles, which

getting out of the tractor.

• use a malfunctioning feeder wagon or tractor;
• use a wagon with defective guards of moving parts;
• perform any servicing when the engine is running;
• allow any persons to stay in the feeder wagon tank during
