s safety equipment

This section describes the machine ′ s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is
what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned
on your machine.

The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please contact
your nearest service workshop.

Cutting attachment guard

This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.

• Ensure that the guard is undamaged and is not cracked.

• Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.

Cutting equipment

The tines are designed and machined to withstand the loads
resulting from cultivating.

The two basic rules:
1 Only use cutting attachments with the guards we

recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.

2 Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A

damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.

IMPORTANT! You must use approved personal protective
equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal
protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but
it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does
happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right
equipment.

!

WARNING! Listen out for warning signals or
shouts when you are wearing hearing
protection. Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the engine stops.
