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.
Every month
The tarpaulin and other guards around the cutting unit must be
checked regularly.
The tarpaulin and other guards are checked as follows:
Visually inspect the machine's guards for holes and other damage.
Any guards with visible holes or other damage must be replaced
immediately.
