DANGER
There is a risk of the severest or even deadly injuries for people staying in the hazard
zone. Especially in the sector of the pickup, people or objects may be drawn into run-
ning shafts by body parts or clothing. In this case, body parts may be ripped off and
fragmented. Objects may be drawn in by the rollers and destroyed or cause severe
damage to the pickup of the machine.
The operator is obliged to immediately shut down the machine as soon as people
or animals enter the hazard zone or reach into the hazard zone with objects.
It is expressly prohibited to place sugar beets not having been lifted by the machine
into the machine manually or using tools, as long as the machine is running.
The engine must be shut down before maintenance and repair work and the igni-
tion key must be removed.
In all cases, please read the operating manual and comply with the safety instruc-
tions.
In the past, these activities have lead to severest accidents. Staying under lifted
machine parts or within the swivelling perimeter of machine parts is hazardous and
therefore prohibited.
Familiarize yourself with the local ground and landscape before starting to work.
Even before loading, check whether the pile conforms to the requirements of the
pile design plan in the appendix. Especially make sure that the pile is not wider than
10.2 m in any place. If this should be the case, make sure that the pile is as evenly as
possible brought to a maximum width of 10 m.
Ideal pile width
