1.6 Accident Prevention
InadditiontotheOperatingInstructions,itis
importanttoobservetheaccidentprevention
regulations specied by agricultural trade
associations.ItistheOperator’sresponsibility
toensurethatallotherpersonsareexcluded
fromthedangerzonessurroundingoronthe
machineduringitsoperation.
ItistheOwner’sresponsibilitytoensure:
•theOperatoristrainedandcompetentto
usethemachine & tractor,
•thetractorissuitableforthemachine
•adequateRiskandCOSHHassessments
have been undertaken regarding the
machine’s use. Specically, these include
issues concerning contact with the soil,
dust, crop residues, chemicals, lubricants
andother compoundsduringoperation or
maintenance,andthepossibilityofstones
beingejectedathighspeedduringwork.
1.6.1 Hitching-up the
machine
There is a risk of injury when hitching/
unhitching the machine. Observe the
following:
•Securethemachineagainstrolling.
• Take special care when reversing the
tractor!
•Thereisariskofbeingcrushedbetween
themachineandthetractor!
•Parkthemachineonrm,levelground.
1.6.2 On the Hydraulic
System
Do not connect the hydraulic lines to the
tractoruntilbothhydraulicsystems(machine
andtractor)aredepressurised.
Anyhydraulicsystemcontaining
an accumulator can remain
under pressure permanently
(even after following manual
depressurisation procedures
with a tra ctor / implemen t
combination).  It is therefore
importanttocheckalllines,pipes,
andscrewconnectionsregularly
for leaks and any  recognisable
externaldamage.
The hydraulic circuit contains
specialisedttingswhichshould
notbetamperedwithunderany
circumstances. Do not attempt
tomodifyhose routingsorhose
clampingarrangements,doingso
