General
Specifications are subject to change without previous notice.
Directional indications such as 'right', 'left', 'front' and 'rear', etc. are to
be interpreted when facing in direction of travel.
Parts are numbered from left to right.
This is also the basic position for defining the direction in connection
with which:
- rh (rotation) = clockwise rotation
- lh (rotation) = counter or anti-clockwise rotation
Rotation around a vertical axis is defined when looking from top to
bottom.
Rotation around a horizontal axis almost perpendicular to the direction
of travel is defined when looking from the left to the right.
Rotation of bolts, nuts, hand cranks, etcetera is defined when looking
from the position of operation.
Units of measurement are given both in Imperial/US and international
metric units; the metric value shall be decisive.
Abbreviations used are:
* = you can find this numbers on the identification plate of the machine.

the corresponding position!
• Always fit front weights to the fixing points provided for that
purpose.
• Adhere to maximum permissible axle loads, total weights and
transport dimensions!
• Install and check transport equipment, e.g. lighting, warning
devices, guards!
• For road transport bring machine in a transport position and secure
it!
• Never leave the operator's seat during operation or transport.
• Moving behaviour, steerability and braking performance are
influenced by mounted implements and ballast weight! Ensure
sufficient braking effect and safe manageability!
• Always adapt the speed to the local conditions! When making short
turns note the larger radius because of increased width and/or
length of the combination as well as mass and inertia changes due
to the other center of gravity position!
• Do not operate a machine unless all protection is installed and in
functional position!
• Never stay or allow anyone to stay within the operating area!
• Never stay or allow anyone to stay within the turning and slewing
area!
• Before leaving the tractor lower the machine onto the ground,
apply the parking brake, shut down the engine and remove the
ignition key!
• Allow nobody to stay between tractor and machine unless the
tractor is prevented from inadvertent rolling away by applied
parking brake and or placed chocks!
• Before (un)hitching the machine on the three-point linkage set the
controls in a position that prevents from inadvertent lifting/lowering!
• Ensure hitching category of machine corresponds to tractor: adapt
if required!
• Keep clear of three-point linkage area: danger of crushing and
scissoring!
• Do not stand between tractor and machine when handling the
external three-point linkage controls!
• Always use stabilizers or check chains to prevent sideways
movement of the machine, especially during transport!
• During road transport the three-point linkage control lever must be
secured against lowering!
• The protection of the machine prevents from penetrating into
danger areas! Therefore all protection must be kept in optimal
condition and moved into the functional position prior to starting to
work!
• Before performing any work on the machine ensure the tines have
stopped all rotation, shut down the engine and remove the ingition
key!
DANGER:
Machine continues rotation due to inertia: wait until tines really stand
still.

joint drive sh afts
• Only use universal joint drive shafts complying with the
specification of the machine manufacturer for that specific use!
DANGER:
In order to ensure protection of both man and machine excise extreme
caution when working at a universal joint drive shaft other then
described in this manual and/or on the instruction at the instruction at
the univ. joint drive shaft. Modification of and other special jobs on
universal joint shafts require written explicit order and procedure of
both machine and univ. joint drive shaft manufacturer is available!
Use the correct tools and genuine parts to ensure the right
performance and max. safety (also see Reliability and Warranty
section 1.2)! This also in accordance with the EU-safety prescriptions
of the Machine Directive 89/392/EU!
• Externally accessible univ. joint drive shafts (e.g. PTO drive shafts)
as well as tractor PTO and machine input shaft must be equipped
with appropriate guards and cones! All the parts shall be kept in a
proper condition!
• Univ. joint drive shaft guard tubes shall overlap sufficiently (and as
safely advised) in all transport and working positions!
• Do not (dis)connect or work on a univ. joint drive shaft unless the
engine has been shut down and stopped and the ignition key has
been removed!
• Ensure univ. joint drive shaft is connected correctly and safetied by
the lock!
• Prevent shaft guard from spinning by attaching the safety chain(s)
to a static part (e.g. not used top link hole).
• Prior to engaging or switching on the PTO ensure nobody stays in
the danger area of the machine!
• Do not engage or switch on the PTO while engine is stopped!
• Prior to engaging or switching on the PTO ensure the PTO speed
cannot exceed 540 rpm!
• When working with PTO drive do not allow anyone to stay near any
spinning univ. joint drive shaft!
• Always stop PTO when it is not needed and when the max.
universal joint angle might be exceeded.
DANGER:
After disengaging or switching off the PTO, the PTO driven machine
will continue running because of inertia! Keep a safe distance to the
machine untill the tines really stand still: the fast rotating tines are
invisible for men's eye!
• Do not clean and/ord grease the PTO driven machine and
universal joint drive shafts unless PTO and engine have stopped
and the inginiton key has been removed!
