17. Never stand between the tractor and the machine during connection and
disconnection.
18. Do not feed material into the cutting unit, using hands or feet, while it is working.
19. Do not try to remove material from the cutting unit while it is working.
20. If material must be removed from the forage harvester, the PTO shaft must be
disconnected completely. If in doubt stop the tractor engine before removing
any material from the forage harvester.
LOCKING OF GUARDS
All hinged guards on the machine are equipped with a lock. The lock ensures that the
guard cannot be opened without tools. There are two different types of lock. Fig. 1.1
and 1.2 show the two locking principles and the corresponding transfers which
indicate and illustrate the locks on the machine.

CHOICE OF TRACTOR
Always follow the recommendations specified in the instruction manual of the tractor.
If this is not possible, technical assistance must be sought.
Choose a tractor which has minimum 55 KW/75 HP at the power take-off but cannot
deliver more than 92kW/125 HP.
The machine is as standard constructed for 540 RPM or 1000 RPM, and is delivered
from the factory with 1 3/8" PTO drive shaft with 21 splines yoke. As an alternative 1
3/8’’ yoke with 6 splines can be supplied for the PTO drive shaft of the machine
A suitable tractor will have a good range of gears for driving speeds between 5 and 8
km/h.
The tractor hydraulic system should deliver at least 170 bar and the adjustable relief
valve should not allow more than 210 bar.
The following hydraulic outlets are necessary depending on the equipment used:
1 Single-acting Drawbar
1 Double-acting Hitch, adjustable (option)
