Danger areas
IMPORTANT
Danger areas on the implement
The following significant hazards are present in the danger areas:
The implement and its work tools move in operation.
Hydraulically lifted implement parts can lower unnoticed and slowly.
The tractor and implement can roll unintentionally.
Materials or foreign objects can be ejected out of or away from the implement.
Failure to comply with instructions concerning the danger area can result in severe or fatal injury.
Keep people out of the danger area of the implement.
If people enter the danger area,
immediately switch off motors and drives.Before working in the danger area of the implement,
secure the tractor and implement. This also applies for quick inspection tasks.IMPORTANT
Overhead power lines
When unfolding and folding or when folding and lifting out, or when lifting the implement or implement parts in operation, the implement can reach the height of overhead power lines. This can cause electrical arcing between power lines and the implement, resulting in fatal electrical shock or fire. Major voltage differentials occur on the ground around the implement.
When unfolding or folding, and when lifting or lifting out the implement or implement parts, always maintain a safe distance from overhead power lines.
Never fold or unfold implement parts in the vicinity of overhead power line pylons or overhead power lines.
When implement parts are unfolded, always maintain a safe distance from overhead power lines.
If electrical arcing occurs between power lines and the implement:
Stay in the cab.Do not touch metal parts.
Warn people to stay away from the implement.
Wait for help from professional rescue personnel.
If people must exit the cab despite the electrical arcing, e.g. if there is an imminent life-threatening fire hazard:
Jump from the implement such that you land in safe location.Do not touch the implement.
Walk away from the implement, taking small steps.
