around the machine are clear (children!)
before operating the machine.

Operators must have a valid driving licence
in order to drive on public roads. In the
operating area, the operator is responsible
for third parties.

The person in charge must:

„

provide the operator with a copy of the
Operating Instructions, and

„

ensure that the operator has read and
understood the instructions.

„

make sure that the operator is aware of
the specific regulations relating to the

machine

There is a risk of injury when hitching/
unhitching the machine. Observe the following:

„

Secure the machine against rolling.

„

Take special care when reversing the
tractor!

„

There is a risk of being crushed between

1.5.2 On the Hydraulic

System

Do not connect the hydraulic lines to the tractor
until both hydraulic systems (machine and
tractor) are depressurised.

Any hydraulic system containing an
accumulator can remain under
pressure permanently (even after

following manual depressurisation
procedures with a tractor /
implement combination). It is
therefore important to check all
lines, pipes, and screw
connections regularly for leaks and

any recognisable external
damage.

Only use appropriate aids when checking for
leaks. Repair any damage immediately.
Spurting oil can cause injuries and fires!

In case of injury, contact a doctor immediately.
