Safety routines
IMPORTANT
Securing the tractor and implement
If the tractor and implement are not secured against unintentional starting and rolling, the tractor and implement can be set in uncontrolled motion, and can run over, crush and kill people.
Lower the lifted implement or lifted implement parts.
Dissipate pressure in the hydraulic hose lines by activating the operating devices.
If you must stand under the raised implement or components,
prevent the raised implement and components from lowering with a mechanical safety support or hydraulic locking device.Switch off the tractor.
Engage the tractor's parking brake.
Remove the ignition key.
IMPORTANT
Securing the implement
After uncoupling, the implement must be secured. If the implement or implement parts are not secured, there is a risk of injury due to crushing or cutting.
Only park the implement on stable and level ground.
Before depressurizing the hydraulic hose lines and disconnecting them from the tractor,
bring the implement into working position.Protect people from direct contact with sharp-edged or protruding implement parts.
IMPORTANT
Keep protective devices functional
If protective devices are missing, damaged or faulty or have been removed, implement parts can severely injure or kill people.
Before starting work, check to ensure whether the protective devices have been disabled or manipulated.
Check the implement at least once a day for damage, proper installation, and functionality of the protective devices.
If there is doubt as to whether the protective devices are properly installed and functional:
Have the protective devices checked by a qualified specialist workshop.Ensure that the protective devices are properly installed and functional before any activity on the implement.
Replace damaged protective devices.
IMPORTANT
Climbing on and off
Negligent behavior while climbing on and off may cause personnel to fall off the ladder. Personnel who climb onto the implement without using the intended access aids can slip or fall, and suffer severe injury. Contamination as well as operating materials can impair stepping safety and stability. Accidental activation of control elements can unintentionally trigger potentially dangerous functions.
Use only the intended access aids.
To ensure safe step and safe stance:
Always keep step surfaces and platforms clean and in proper condition, so that safe step and safe stance are ensured.When the implement is moving:
Never climb onto or down from the implement.Climb up and down facing the implement.
When climbing up and down, maintain 3-point contact with the access steps and handrails: Always keep either two hands and one foot on the implement or two feet and one hand on the implement.
When climbing up and down, never use the control elements as a hand grip.
When climbing down, never jump off of the implement.
