BAG0175.3 07.18
4.6 Danger area and hazard points
The danger area is the area around the machine in which people can
be caught:
• By work movements made by the machine and its tools
• By materials or foreign bodies thrown out of the machine
• By tools rising or falling unintentionally
• By unintentional rolling away of the tractor and the machine
Within the machine danger area, there are danger points with perma-
nent or unexpected risks. Warning pictograms indicate these danger
points and warn against residual dangers, which cannot be eliminated
for construction reasons. Here, the special safety regulations of the
appropriate section shall be valid.
No-one may stand in the machine danger area:
• as long as the tractor engine is running with a connected PTO
shaft / hydraulic system.
• as long as the tractor and machine are not protected against
unintentional start-up and running.
The operating person may only move the machine or switch or drive
the tools from the transport position to the working position or vice-
versa when there is no-one in the machine danger area.
The following danger areas exist:
• Between the tractor and machine, especially when coupling and
uncoupling.
• Where there are moving components.
• On the machine while it is moving.
• Within the pivot range of the boom.
• Within the pivot range of the track marker.
• Under raised, unsecured machines or machine parts.
• When unfolding/folding the boom in the area of overhead cables.
