Safety
Hazard zone
DANGER
There is a risk of serious or even fatal injuries for persons staying in the hazard zone.
Especially in the pickup area, persons or objects may be drawn into running 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 try to reach into the hazard zone with some
objects.
It is expressly prohibited to move sugar beets not picked up by the machine into
the machine manually or using tools, as long as the machine is running.
Before maintenance and repair work, the machine must be shut down and the
diesel engine switched off.
Secure the diesel engine against accidental start-up, keep the ignition key out of
reach of any third party!
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.
ADVICE
We recommend that the operator of the machine informs every person present during
lifting about the possible hazards. You will find an information sheet for this purpose in
the appendix. When needed, you should copy this sheet and hand it out to the people
concerned. For your own safety and as protection against possible recourse (liability)
claims, you should obtain written confirmation about receipt of this sheet in the space
provided.
All parts of the machine which may cause specific hazards are additionally marked
using warning labels (pictographs). These pictographs point out possible hazards.
They form a part of the operating instructions. They must always be kept in clean and
well legible condition. Damaged or illegible safety stickers must be replaced immedi-
ately. The meaning of each individual pictograph is explained below. In addition, each
pictograph has a number. This is the ROPA order number. Stating this number, you
may reorder the respective pictograph from ROPA. The number stated in brackets is
printed on the respective sticker. This enables simple allocation of the pictograph to
the order number and the explanation.
