General safety instructions
Compakt-Light
the work assignment is too late!
• The user is responsible for the safety of third parties in the working area! Persons under the
age of 16 years are not permitted to operate the 2-wheel tractor!
• It is forbidden to enter or remain in the working and danger area of the
2-wheel trac-
tor!
• Before starting up, check the immediate vicinity - children! Ensure that visibility is ade-
quate!
• Do not let the engine run in closed rooms!
• The driver should wear tight-fitting clothes. Avoid loose-fitting clothes. Wear sturdy shoes!
• Be careful when handling fuel – increased risk of fire! Never refill the fuel tank in the prox-
imity of open flames, igniting sparks and hot engine parts. Do not smoke when refuelling!
• Before refuelling, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key (if one exists). Do not
refuel in closed rooms. Do not spill fuel! Use a suitable pouring aid. Do not smoke when re-
fuelling!
• In order to avoid the risk of fire, keep the tractor clean!
• Be careful when handling brake fluids and battery acid – they are toxic and caustic!
• Switch off the engine and pull off the spark plug cap before performing maintenance and
cleaning work.
• Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly!
• Observe permissible axle loads, overall weights and transport dimensions!
• Particular caution is necessary when coupling or uncoupling attached tools to or from the
tractor!
6. Lighting devices on single-axle tractors
Distinction must be made here as to whether the single-axis tractor
• is guided by a pedestrian via the steering shafts or,
• is driven from a sulky (single-track trailer) or
• is driven from a trailer.
In the dark, or when necessitated by the weather, single-axle tractors guided by pedestrians via
the steering shafts require at least a single, non-dazzling lamp with a white light, which must
be affixed to the left-hand side (UK: right-hand side) or carried by hand so that its light is well
visible for oncoming traffic (from the front) or overtaking traffic (from the rear) (Section 50, par-
agraph 2, German Highway Code and section 17, paragraph 5, German Highway Code).
If a single-axle tractor with a trailer is transported on a public road, no operating permit is re-
quired up to a design-related top speed of 6 km/h. The name and place of residence of the keeper
of the vehicle must be displayed by a sign on the trailer. A driving licence is not required, how-
ever. The driver of the vehicle must be qualified to drive it. Lighting devices etc. must be present.
