Safety concerning maintenance work on the cutterbar
When working on the cutterbar, the tractor must be stopped and
secured.
This prevents the machine from suddenly starting to rotate.
If the tractor and the PTO shaft have not been connected in
accordance with the instructions serious accidents causing damage to
limbs can occur.
When working on the cutterbar:
• The tractor engine must be stopped.
• The ignition key must be removed.
• The PTO shaft must be disconnected.
• The tractor hydraulic system must be disconnected.
• The hand brake must be activated.
Check the machine knives on a regular basis
The machine's knives must be regularly inspected.
Worn or damaged knives can unbalance the rotating parts.
Vibrations can cause damage to the machine.
