DANGER
Hazard to life due to rotating rollers!
There is a risk of the severest or even deadly injuries for people staying in the hazard
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 people
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 ignition
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.
– When refuelling, the diesel engine must be shut down. 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 the diesel engine. This
will alert anyone in the vicinity of the machine to leave the hazard zone. Make
sure yourself that there are no more persons in the hazard area when starting the
machine.
– Always maintain sufficient fire protection by keeping the machine free of dirt,
grease residues and other flammable objects. Immediately remove spilt fuel or oils
using suitable binding agents.
– Keep combustible materials out of the area around the park heating and the
exhaust pipe of the park heating (e.g. leaves, etc.).
– Do not run the machine in enclosed spaces. There is a poisoning hazard due to
poisonous engine exhaust gases. If the diesel engine is to run in an enclosed room
for maintenance or adjustment, the exhaust gases must be routed outside by using
suitable means (evacuating device, exhaust hoses, exhaust pipe extensions, etc.).
– When driving on public roads and paths, please comply with the applicable laws
and regulations for your own benefit.
– 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, mobile phones (smartphones) etc. Should it be
necessary, for operational reasons, to use such devices while driving, then always
use a suitable hands-free device for this purpose. For radios with external input for
the P.T.T. switch, you can use the P.T.T switch function integrated in this machine
on the left or right joystick. (See Page 157)
– Before starting up the machine, adjust all mirrors so that you can monitor and see
the complete driving and working area.
– Before driving off, always check if there is anyone present in the immediate vicinity
of the machine. Inform those people about your plans and instruct them 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 current environmen-
tal and ground conditions.
– Never leave the driver's seat when the machine is running.
– When working on slopes and hillsides, always make sure that the machine is suffi-
ciently stable.
