1.0. Safety Measures
RECOGNISE WARNING SYMBOLS
This symbol draws your
attention to the safety
instructions attached to the
machine or contained in these
operating instructions. It
means that there is a risk of
injury.
Follow all recommended safety
instructions as well as the
accident prevention
regulations.
FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that you carefully read
all safety instructions
contained in these operating
instructions as well as all
those attached to the machine.
The warning signs must be kept
in good condition, i.e.
readable. Replace missing or
damaged warning signs. Ensure
that new equipment and spare
parts are provided with the
appropriate safety signs.
Replacement warning signs are
available from your dealer.
Familiarise yourself with the
operation of the machine and
its control devices before
working with the machine. Never
allow a person without the
appropriate knowledge to
operate the machine.
Keep your machine in good
working order. Unauthorised
modifications to the machine
can impair the function,
operational reliability and
service life of the machine.
If you do not understand any
part of these operating
instructions and need
assistance, please contact your
dealer.

All information, illustrations and specifications in these operating instructions are based on the latest information available at the time of
publication. We reserve the right to make design changes at any time without prior notification. 7
1.0. Safety Measures
OBSERVE THE ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
Always observe local road traffic
regulations when using public
roads.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Wear close-fitting clothing and
the appropriate safety equipment
for the work at hand.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise
can result in impairment or loss
of hearing.
Wear a suitable hearing
protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs.
A safe operation of the machine
requires the full attention of
the operator. Do not wear radio
or music headphones while
operating the machine.
STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING DRIVE SHAFTS
Carelessness in the area of the
rotating drive shafts can
result in serious injury or
even death.
Always ensure that all shaft
protection devices are fitted
i.a.w. regulations and that the
universal-joint shaft sheath
tubing can turn freely. Wear
close-fitting clothing. Shut
off the engine and wait until
all moving parts are at a
standstill before adjusting or
cleaning as well as connecting
or disconnecting the PTO–driven
machines.

All information, illustrations and specifications in these operating instructions are based on the latest information available at the time of
publication. We reserve the right to make design changes at any time without prior notification.

1.0. Safety Measures
SAFETY AND PROTECTIVE DEVICES
Safety and protective devices must
be kept in proper working order
and be fitted to the relevant
location.
Always disengage the drive sections and
shut off the engine before removing
any of the safety and protective devices.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away
from moving parts.
EXERCISE CAUTION IN THE CASE OF LINE LEAKAGE
Leaking high-pressure fluids
can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury.
For this reason, depressurise
the system before disconnecting
lines. Ensure that all line
connections are leak-proof
before the pressure builds up
again in the system.
It is difficult to see
hydraulic oil leaking from a
small opening. For this reason,
use a piece of cardboard when
searching for leaks. Protect
the hands and body from high-
pressure fluids.
If any fluid penetrates the
skin, this must be immediately
removed by a doctor who has
experience with this kind of
injury. Failure to seek medical
attention can lead to serious
infection.
Doctors unfamiliar with this
type of injury should reference
a knowledgeable medical source.

All information, illustrations and specifications in these operating instructions are based on the latest information available at the time of
publication. We reserve the right to make design changes at any time without prior notification. 9
1.0. Safety Measures
USE SAFETY LIGHTS AND EQUIPMENT
Avoid collisions with other
road users. Slow moving
tractors with mounted or towed
equipment, and self-propelled
machines on public roads pose a
specific danger. Frequently
check for traffic coming behind
you, especially when making
turns. Ensure safe traffic
conditions by using hand
signals or indicators.
Use headlights, hazard warning
lights, indicators and other
safety equipment i.a.w. the
respective legal provisions.
Keep safety equipment in good
working order. Replace missing
or damaged parts. A set of
safety lights is available from
your dealer.
AVOID HEAT DEVELOPMENT NEAR
PRESSURISED FLUID LINES
A highly flammable mist can
form due to heat development
near pressurised fluid lines.
This can result in severe
burns. Do not cause heat
development by welding,
soldering or using a welding
torch near pressurized fluid
lines or other flammable
materials. Pressurised lines
can be accidentally cut through
when heat goes beyond the
immediate flame area.

All information, illustrations and specifications in these operating instructions are based on the latest information available at the time of
publication. We reserve the right to make design changes at any time without prior notification.

1.0. Safety Measures
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING
OR HEATING PARTS
Welding should only be carried
out by persons with a relevant
qualifying certificate i.a.w.
EN287.
Avoid the formation of toxic
fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be
generated when paint is heated
due to welding, soldering, or
using a welding torch.
All work is to be performed
outdoors or in a well-
ventilated area. Dispose of
paints and solvents i.a.w. the
appropriate regulations.
Remove paint before welding or
heating parts:
•The dust generated due to the
sandblasting or grinding of
parts must not be inhaled.
For this reason, wear
suitable breathing
protection.
•Where a solvent or paint
stripper is used, it must be
rinsed off using water and
soap before carrying out any
welding. Then wait at least
15 minutes before welding or
heating for the fumes to
disperse.
