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.
• All work on the implement must be carried out by properly trained and instructed
personnel. The personnel must not be under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.

or persons who have received appropriate instruction.

cordance with the electrical safety regulations.
