13.2 General safety-related instructions and
accident prevention regulations
• Before operating the implement and the tractor, always check for traffic and
operational safety (like fractures, cracks, chafe marks, leaks, loose bolts and
connections, vibrations and unusual sounds).
• Observe the generally applicable safety and accident prevention regulations!
• Use additional lighting (e.g., flashlight) for repair or maintenance work!
• The warning and information signs applied to the implement provide important
instructions for safe operation, observe them for the sake of your own safety!
• Observe the respective regulations when using public roads!
• Before starting work, get to know all of the equipment and operating elements as
well as their functions. It is too late to do so during operation!
• The spread rate may only be adjusted exactly according to the operating manual
and by trained personnel!
• The user should wear close-fitting clothing. Avoid wearing loose clothes!
• Please always wear safety shoes with non-slip soles!
• To reduce the risk of fire, keep the machines clean. Carrying a fire extinguisher on
the tractor. is also recommended.
• The implement should be cleaned regularly with compressed air!
• Check the surrounding area before starting up and operating the implement!
(Children!) Ensure sufficient visibility!
• It is not allowed to carry passengers on the implement during operation and
transport!
• The implement must be coupled according to the instructions and only onto the
specified devices!
• Special care must be taken when coupling and uncoupling implement to and from
the tractor! Use only self-locking attachments (nuts) as well as high-tensile bolts.
• Check the stability of the tractor and the implement when mounting, operating, and
performing maintenance/filling. Depending on the soil tillage implement, on which
the seed drill is mounted, use a step according to EN 14018 and according to the
operating manual.
• When mounting the implement, the hydraulic connections to the tractor hydraulic
system must be connected carefully according to the operating manual.
• Always attach ballast weights at the intended attachment points according to the
specifications!
• Observe the permissible axle load, total weight and transport dimensions!
• Transport equipment, e.g. lighting, warning signs and any protective equipment,
must be checked and mounted!
• Triggers for quick couplings must be hanging loosely and must not trigger
themselves when lowered.
• Never leave the driver's platform while driving!
• The driving behaviour, steering and braking capacity are also affected by mounted
or towed implements and ballast weights. For this reason, always ensure sufficient
steering and braking capacity!
• When driving in curves, take account of the wide radius and/or the centrifugal mass
of the implement!
• The implement may only be operated when all of the protective devices are installed
and in safety position!
