Safety instructions
come to a complete standstill.
• Secure the tractor and machine against accidental starting and
rolling before cleaning, lubricating or adjusting is carried out on
PTO driven machines or PTO drive shafts!
• Place the uncoupled PTO drive shaft in the holder provided!
• After dismantling the PTO drive shaft, put the protecting hood
over the PTO butt end!
3.4.5 Trailed machines
• Take care to observe the admissible combinations of connecting
devices on the tractor and traction fittings on the machine!
Only couple up admissible vehicle combinations (tractor and
hitched-up machine).
• With rigid drawbar trailers, the maximum admissible tongue load
of the tractor on the coupling device must be complied with!
• Make sure that the steering and brakes of the tractor are
functioning correctly!
Machines attached or hitched up to a tractor have an effect on
the drive behaviour as well as on the steering and braking ability
of the tractor, in particular in the case of rigid drawbar machines
with tongue load on the tractor.
• Only specialised workshops are allowed to adjust the height of
the drawbar in the case of drawbars with tongue load!
• Take care when uncoupling and setting down a rigid drawbar
machine that there is sufficient tongue load on the support
device!
In particular there is a risk of unevenly loaded machines tipping
over (Static stability).
3.4.6 Brake system
• The tractor brake system must correspond to the machine brake
system!
• Stop the tractor immediately if any fault occurs in the brake
system. Clear all faults without delay!
• Only specialist workshops or recognized brake service centres
can carry out adjusting and repair work to the brake system!
• Have the brake system checked regularly!
To maintain operating reliability the wheel brakes must always
be adjusted correctly.
• Before carrying out any work on the brake system:
ο Set the trailer down carefully and secure it against
accidental rolling away (wheel chocks),
ο Secure the raised machine against accidental lowering!
• Be particularly careful when carrying out welding, burning or
drilling work in the vicinity of brake lines!
• After any adjusting and servicing work has been carried out on
the brake system, always carry out a brake test!
