Safety measures and precautions
31
− Before attaching or detaching the implement to/from the three-point linkage,
move the control device to the position where the implement cannot be raised
or lowered accidentally.
− Do not stand between the tractor and implement when operating the external
controls for the three-point linkage.
Do not stand in the danger area around the implement or climb onto the imple-
ment during operation.
There is a risk of injury in the wider operating area around the implement, e.g.
from flying stones.
− Before operating the hydraulic equipment, ensure that nobody is standing in the
danger area. There is a risk of crushing and shearing from power-operated
components.
− Do not stand between the tractor and the implement. This is only permitted
when the tractor is secured by the parking brake and wheel chocks to prevent it
from rolling away.
− Always keep the implement clean to avoid the risk of fire.
− Lower the implement onto the ground before leaving the tractor.
− Switch off the engine.
− Remove the ignition key.
3.11.2 Personnel selection and qualifications
• The tractor driver must have the appropriate driving licence.

or persons who have received appropriate instruction.

cordance with the electrical safety regulations.
