Safety

Only connect the hydraulics when the system is depressurised
You should only connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor's hydraulics
when the hydraulic system on both the tractor and the machine is
depressurised.
There is a risk that the machine will move accidentally.
Unintentional movement of the machine may result in serious injuries.
The hydraulic system should be checked regularly
All hoses and fittings should be checked regularly for visible damage.
Hydraulic hoses also wear without any visible damage.
Defective hydraulic hoses can cause injury or fire.
Colour marking of hydraulic connections
The hydraulic connections between the tractor and the machine must
be colour marked.
By colour marking the hydraulic connections you avoid wrong
operation of the machine.
Incorrect operation or unintentional movement of the machine may
result in serious injuries.
Load capacity
Compliance with total weight, axle pressure, carrying capacity of
the tyres, and minimum weight
Neither the tractor's total weight, axle pressure nor the carrying
capacity of the tyres may be exceeded with front mounted and rear
mounted machines.
To ensure the manoeuvrability of the tractor, the load on the front axle
must be at least 20% of the tractor's weight.
Transgression can result in uncontrolled driving and accidents.
Be careful when working around the PTO shaft
When working on the PTO shaft, the tractor PTO outlet must be
disconnected, the tractor must be stopped and the ignition key
removed.
This prevents the PTO shaft 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.
Weight/power ratio between machine and tractor
The machine may only be connected to a tractor with a proper size
and performance.
The tractor's size and P.T.O outlet must correspond to the power
consumption of the machine and its weight.
Wrong weight/power ratio can result in damage to both machine and
tractor.
