• When attaching or removing the machine bring any parking or storing devices
into the corresponding position (standing safety)!
• Fit weights always to the fixing points provided and as advised for that purpose!
• Adhere to the maximum permissible axle loads, total weights and transport
dimensions!
• Observe the transport dimensions in relation to the traffic regulations in force in
your country.
• Fit and check transport devices, as e.g. traffic lights, warning plates and if
necessary guards. !
• The release ropes for quick coupling three point linkages should hang freely
and in the lowered position must not release by themselves!
• During driving never leave the operator's seat!
• Moving behaviour, steerability and braking are influenced by mounted

steering and braking!
• When lifting the machine with the rear hydraulics the front axle of the transport
vehicle is reduced. Observe sufficient front axle load (see Instruction manual of

• When driving round bends note the width of the machine and/or the changing
centre of gravity of the implement!
• Put implement into operation only when all guards are fixed in position!
• Never stay or allow anyone stay within the operation area of the machine!
• Load the implement only with applied parking brake, engine switched off and
removed ignition key.
• Never stay or allow anyone stay within the pivot and swivel area of the
implement!
• Hydraulic folding frames should only be actuated if no persons are staying in
the slewing area!
• On all hydraulically actuated pivoting parts exists danger of injury by bruising
and trapping!
• Before leaving the tractor cab lower the machine to the ground, apply the
parking brake, stop the engine and remove the ignition key!
• Never allow anyone to stay between tractor and implement without having
secured away by applying the parking brake and/or chocks against rolling.
