danger of tipping over or of the lights being obscured. Always use the transport lock and apply
safety catches.
• Tripping devices for quick-release couplings must hang loose and not trip of their own accord in
the bottom position!
• Never leave the driver’s platform while driving!
• Attachments, trailers and ballast will have an influence on the tractor’s handling, steering and
brakes. So make sure that your steering and brakes can cope!
• When working or transporting the machine always ensure that the mulcher’s centre of gravity is
so positioned that the stability of the machine is not impaired.
• Bear in mind the wide load and the balance weight when taking bends.
• Don’t operate the machine until all safety devices are in place and fully functional! Check that all
fastenings are secured by split pins or eyebolts!
• Ensure that the plate guards at the front of the machine are functioning and can move freely and
that the rear rubber guard is undamaged.
• In the case of machines with movable protective guards attached at the side always make sure
that they function properly – and clean them if they get soiled!
• Everybody apart from the operator must keep well clear of the machine!
• Keep well outside the machine’s turning and swivelling range!
• Do not operate hydraulic folding wings if there is anybody within swivelling range!
• All hydraulic or other power-operated equipment has points that are subject to crushing or
shearing
• Always ensure that machines with a manual tilting mechanism are completely stable!
• Machines with power-driven tools risk being lifted by trailing balance weight. Do not approach
until they are at an absolute standstill!
• Exercise great caution when working on uneven land.
• Before leaving the tractor, place the mulcher on the ground, turn the tractor engine off, remove
the key and ensure that the handbrake is on.
• Nobody should stand between the tractor and the mulcher without first making certain that the
tractor cannot roll away by applying the handbrake or ensuring that the tractor wheel is wedged.
• Secure swung-in frames and excavation devices in the transport position.
