Who can operate
the machine?
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
Correct attachment of the machine
The machine must be correctly attached, in accordance with 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 attentionto the abovementioned 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 service and maintenance 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.

Only connect hydraulics when the system is depressurised
You should onlyconnect the hydraulic hoses to the 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 the 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 the carrying 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 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 PTO 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.

and death.
Mounted machines will change the driving and braking abilities
of the tractor
Be aware of changed driving and braking abilities when driving with
mounted machines.
You should be especially aware of the machine's width and length
when driving around bends and turns.
Serious accidents and a loss of driving control may result if this is not
taken into account.
Adjust the speed according to the road conditions
Adjust driving speed according to the conditions on the road.
Poor road conditions and high speeds can lead to parts of the tractor
and machine being overloaded.
Driving too fast can lead to accidents and damage both the machine
and the tractor.
