Safety routines
IMPORTANT
Securing the tractor and implement
If the tractor and implement are not secured against unintentional starting and rolling away, the tractor and implement can be set in motion in an uncontrolled manner, and can run over, crush and kill people.
Lower the raised implement or raised implement parts.
Relieve pressure in the hydraulic hose lines by actuating the operating devices.
If you have to stand under the raised implement or components,
secure the raised implement and components against lowering with a mechanical safety support or hydraulic locking device.Switch off the tractor.
Apply the tractor's parking brake.
Remove the ignition key.
IMPORTANT
Securing the machine
After uncoupling, the implement has to be secured. If the implement and implement parts are not secured, there is a risk of personal injury due to crushing and cutting.
Only park the implement on stable and level ground.
Before you depressurise the hydraulic hose lines and disconnect them from the tractor,
move the implement into working position.Protect people against direct contact with sharp-edged or protruding implement parts.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the protective equipment is functional
If protective equipment is missing, damaged or removed, implement parts can cause serious personal injury or even death.
Before beginning work, check whether the protective devices have been deactivated or manipulated.
Check the implement at least once a day for damage, proper installation, and functioning of the protective equipment.
If you are not sure if the protective equipment is properly installed and functional:
Have the protective equipment checked by a qualified specialist workshop.Make sure that the protective devices are properly installed and functional before any work on the implement.
Replace damaged protective equipment.
IMPORTANT
Climbing on and off
Negligent behaviour while climbing on and off can cause people to fall off the ladder. People who climb onto the implement without using the intended access steps can slip, fall, and suffer severe injury. Dirt and operating materials can impair stepping and standing safety. Accidental actuation of control elements can unintentionally activate potentially dangerous functions.
Use only the intended access steps.
To ensure safe stepping and standing:
Always keep steps and platforms clean and in proper condition.When the implement is moving:
Never climb onto or off of the implement.Climb up and down facing the implement.
When climbing up and down, maintain contact with at least 3 points on the steps and handrails: always keep 2 hands and one foot or 2 feet and one hand on the implement.
When climbing up and down, never hold onto the control elements.
When climbing down, never jump off of the implement.
