Operators of this machine should only be trained farmers and others
who are qualified to work in agriculture and who are familiar with
assembling equipment.
Untrained or unauthorised persons must not use this machine.
Connecting

The machine must be correctly connected, following the instructions.
The machine can become detached from the tractor if the connection
is not carried out properly.
Incorrect attachment can lead to accidents.
When attaching the machine to the tractor you must therefore:
•Make sure that the tractor cannot roll.
•Make sure that the tractor and the machine belong to the same
category.
•Never stand between the tractor and the machine during
attachment.
•Use the hydraulic three point suspension slowly and carefully.
Paying full attention to the above mentioned points ensures your
safety and that of others.
Failure to follow the above instructions may result in serious injuries.
PTO shaft check
Refer to the manufacturer's maintenance and safety instructions
delivered with the PTO shaft.
Make electrical connection after attachment
When fitting the lighting device, the power supply to the tractor must
be turned off.
This will prevent short circuits and damage to the electric circuit.
There is a risk of burns and other serious injuries if the electrical

Only connect hydraulics when the system is depressurised
You should onlyconnect the hydraulic hoses tothe tractor's hydraulics
when the hydraulic system on both the tractor and the machine is
depressurised.
There is a risk that the machine will move accidentally.
Unintentional movement of the machine may result in serious injuries.
The hydraulic system should be checked regularly
All hoses and fittings should be checked regularly for visible damage.
Hydraulic hoses also wear without any visible damage.
Defective hydraulic hoses can cause injury or fire.
Colour marking of hydraulic connections
The hydraulic connections between the tractor and the machine must
be marked in different colours.
By marking the hydraulic connections you prevent the machine from
being incorrectly operated.
Incorrect operation or unintentional movement of the machine may
result in serious injuries.
Load capacity
Compliance with total weight, axle pressure, carrying capacity of
the tyres, and minimum weight
Neither the tractor's total weight, axle pressure or thecarrying capacity
of the tyres may be exceeded with front mounted and rear mounted
machines.
To ensure the manoeuvrability of the tractor, the load on the front axle
must be at least 20% of the tractor's weight.
Failure to do so can result in a loss of driving control and accidents.
Be careful when working around the PTO shaft
When working on the PTO shaft, the tractor PTO outlet must be
disconnected, the tractor must be stopped and the ignition key
removed.
This prevents the PTO shaft from suddenly starting to rotate.
If the tractor and the PTO shaft have not been connected in
accordance with the instructions, serious accidents causing damage
to limbs can occur.
Weight/power ratio between machine and tractor
The machine may only be connected to a tractor of the correct size
and performance.
The tractor's size and P.T.O outlet must correspond to the power
consumption of the machine and its weight.
Wrong weight/power ratio can result in damage to both machine and
tractor.
