instructions serious accidents causing damage to limbs can occur.
When working on the cutting unit:
• The tractor engine must be stopped.
• The ignition key must be removed.
• The tractor's PTO must be disconnected.
• The tractor hydraulic system must be disconnected.
• The hand brake must be activated.

Be careful when using oil
Use barrier cream or protective gloves when handling oil.
It will protect your hands against skin injuries.
Direct contact with the oil could lead to serious skin injuries
Use the correct oil type
Always use the correct oil type for the transmission.
This will ensure the transmission has a long service life.
Using the incorrect oil type may damage the transmission.
Maintain correct oil level
The maximum and minimum oil level indicators on the transmission
must not be exceeded.
Correct transmission oil level will ensure a long service life.
Incorrect oil levels can cause the transmission to overheat, resulting
in serious damage.
The machine must be correctly supported to prevent injury
The machine must be properly supported when work is being carried
out underneath it.
If the machine is not correctly supported, there is a high risk that it may
overturn, causing injury.
If the machine is not sufficiently supported, this can result in serious or
even fatal injuries.
