DANGER
Hazard to life due to rotating rollers!
There is a risk of the severest or even deadly injuries for people staying in the haz-
ard zone. Especially near the pickup, objects or people may be drawn into rollers
by body parts or pieces of 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 peo-
ple or animals enter the hazard zone or reach into the hazard zone with objects.
It is expressly prohibited to use one's hands or tools to pick up sugar beets not
caught by the pickup and put them into the pickup while the machine is running.
The engine must be shut off 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
instructions.
In the past, these activities have lead to severest accidents.
– Shut off the engine when refilling fuel. Smoking, fire and open flames are strictly
prohibited when handling fuel. Explosion hazard! Do not use cell phones or radios
while refuelling.
– Always give a short signal with the horn before starting up the engine. This draws
the attention of all people in the vicinity to the need of exiting the hazard zones.
Convince yourself that no people are located in the hazard zones when the
machine is started.
– Make sure of sufficient fire protection by keeping the machine free of dirt, grease
residue and other combustible objects. Immediately remove spilt fuel or oils using
suitable binding agents.
– Keep combustible materials out of the area around the independent heating system
and the exhaust pipe of the independent heating system (leaves, etc.)
– Do not run the machine in enclosed rooms. There is a poisoning hazard due to poi-
sonous engine exhaust gases. If the engine is to run in an enclosed room for main-
tenance or setting work, then the exhaust gases must be routed outside using suit-
able measures (evacuating device, exhaust hoses, exhaust pipe extensions, etc.).
– When driving on public roads and paths, in your own interest, comply with the
applicable laws and regulations.
– Safe operation of the machine requires the full concentration and attention of the
driver. Do not wear headphones for listening to the radio or for monitoring radios,
etc.
– While driving, do not use radios, cell phones, etc. Should it be necessary, for oper-
ational reasons, to use such devices while driving, then always use a suitable
hands-free device for this purpose.
– Before starting up the machine, set all mirrors so that you can monitor and see the
complete driving and working area.
– Before driving off, always check if there are people present in the immediate vicin-
ity of the machine. Inform these people about your plans and instruct these people
to keep a safe distance.
– The individual vehicle handling of the machine always depends on the road condi-
tion respectively the ground. Always adjust your driving to the respective environ-
mental and landscape conditions.
– Never leave the driver’s seat with the engine running.
– When working in slopes and on hillsides, always make sure of sufficient stability of
the machine.
