Parking / discon-
nection of the ma-
chine
Disconnection between the machine and the tractor
There is an increased risk of personal injury when disconnecting the
machine from the tractor.
Attention when disconnecting protects your own and others safety.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious injuries.
Park the machine in the working position
The machine should always be parked in the working position.
This prevents the machine from tipping over and causing serious ac-
cidents.
If the machine tips over, it can result in serious or even fatal injuries.
Therefore, when disconnecting make sure that:
• The machine is placed upon a horizontal and level surface.
• The tractor must not roll after being disconnected.
• The tractor is halted, the handbrake is applied and the ignition key
removed.
• Children must never be left to play close to the machine.
Hydraulic
Only disconnect hydraulics when system is without pressure
You should only disconnect the hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic of the
tractor, when the hydraulic system on both tractor and machine is with-
out pressure.
There is a risk that the machine will move unintentionally.
Unintentional movement of the machine may result in serious injuries.
Avoid physical contact with hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oil contains additives that under certain circumstances can
have serious consequences on your health. Therefore, when handling
hydraulic oil be aware of the following:
• Avoid direct contact with hydraulic oil. It can cause injuries to your
skin.
• Protect your skin with protective creme or protection gloves.
• Never use oil or lubricants for cleaning your hands.
• Clothes contaminated with oil should be changed immediately.
• Oily clothes should not be kept in your pockets.
• Contact medical help in case of skin injury or hydraulic oil contact.
