Safety
Safety rules
General recommendations
Before starting up, check that the machine is not endangering any
persons and that the protection and safety devices (e.g. guards,
hoods, warning labels, etc.) are in place and functional.
Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all the parts, controls
and functions of your machine. Once you have started working, it will
be too late!
Should an incident occur, stop the machine immediately and identify
the cause. Repairs should be carried out before starting up again.
No repair operations should be carried out on the machine un le ss:
• all measures have been taken to prevent the machine starting up
again accidentally (e.g. PTO and/or hydraulic hoses uncoupled,
tractor engine switched off),
• no chocks are placed under the frame to prevent the risk of the
frame descending,
• the vehicle is immobilised by appropriate means.
Before getting off the tractor, lower the machine onto the ground.
Apply the handbrake and remove the key from the ignition.
No one should pass between the tractor and the machine unless the
vehicle is immobilised (hand brake, chocks, etc.), the engine is
switched off and the ignition key removed.
Coupling
Follow the coupling instructions carefully:
• when manoeuvring, select the tractor's lowest possible forward
gear,
• there should be no-one between the tractor and the machine when
manoeuvring the tractor or lifting,
• the category of tractor hitch must be adapted to the hitching
characteristics of the machine,
• during coupling operations, the hydraulic controls of the tractor
should be in such a position that the linkage does not move while
handling,
• the hitch must be locked and should not unhook when lowered.
The distribution of masses is modified when the machine is coupled.
The maximum vehicle axle weight (see manufacturer's instructions)
must not be exceeded. If the un-ballasting of the front end is too large,
you must place additional masses to be able to maintain the steering
control of your tractor.
When coupling or uncoupling the implement, put any support
equipment provided in place to prevent the machine from becoming
unbalanced.
8
Safety
Driving on the road
Respect the highway code when travelling on public roads.
When cornering, beware of machine offset and weig ht transfer. Adapt
your speed.
In transit, secure the lower raising arms to prevent them from swinging
out.
The machine must not be moved outside the field or near people until
the fold-away extensions or the fold-away or tipping accessories (if
any) have been locked in the transport position.
In transit, the hydraulic hoses of the folding cylinders must be
disconnected to prevent them from unfolding accidentally.
On machines equipped with a transport carrier, secure the carrier
locking system before taking the machine onto the road.
When driving, the lift control should be positioned so as to prevent the
implement from being accidentally lowered.
Check that your hitch complies with local road safety legislation. If
necessary, you are responsible for fitting and testing transport
equipment (e.g. lighting, signals, guards, etc.) corresponding to the
characteristics of your tractor-machine assembly and the applicable
statutory requirements. Make sure that the dimensions of the machine
comply with the highway code.
Carrying persons on the working tool in transit is not allowed.
The brakes must be coupled up for all movements (no single-wheel
braking).
9
Safety
Use
Any tine that is abnormally blocked in the raised position may
suddenly return to its position and is therefore a source of serious
danger . Keep well clear and out of the return path of the tine. Once the
tine has returned to the low position, check that it is tight and does not
jam at any point.
Nobody must enter the range of movement of the folding extensions
or folding or tilting accessories (if present) if they have not been locked
by the system provided for that purpose. This system can be a chain,
pin, rigid rod or a controlled double valve.
Before starting up, make sure that the surrounding area is clear (no
children in the vicinity, etc.). Make certain that you have sufficient
visibility.
Any intervention on the machine is prohibited when the tractor is
moving. Keep a safety distance of at least 5 m from the machine in
motion (advance, movement of any part of th e machine, movement of
the tractor hitch).
For machines equipped with covering disks, edge disks, retractable
teeth, levelling boards, track erasers or any other accessory with a
vertical adjustment, it is recommended to maintain a safety distance
in case of an accidental fall of the equipment during its adjustment.
You are advised to wear safety shoes.
Serious injury and even death may result from contact with electric
power lines. T ake all precautio ns if you move or use the machine close
to power lines to avoid any contact.
When using on uneven ground, the tractor may deviate from its path
when it passing over holes, ditches or other irregularitie s in the terrain.
Only authorise a single person, the operator, on the tractor when the
tractor and machine are in operation.
10
Safety
Maintenance
No intervention must be made within the radius of the tractor - to ol unit
without the brakes or vehicle immobilisation system being engaged.
When changing parts on the machine, you are advised to be careful
with all parts with sharp edges or corners. We recommend that you
wear safety gear (helmet, safety shoes, gloves, etc.).
For machines equipped with folding extensions, make sure you follow
the instructions in this manual for assembly , disassembly and settings.
It is strictly forbidden to disassemble springs used as safety devices
for working parts. This operation must only be performed by
specialists.
Regularly check that bolts are tight, the tyre pressure and the
condition of the hydraulic circuit.
Before welding, disconnect the electric units (if there are any) and
disconnect the tractor alternator and battery if the tractor is hitched up.
Never direct the jet of high pressure cleaners directly onto the
bearings, the hydraulic pipes, electric units or other sensitive
components on the machine (risk of damage). The jet may bounce
back off some surfaces.
Power take-off
Follow the instructions of the cardan joint manufacturer.
Use only the cardan drive designed for the machine and equipped with
regulatory guards.
Start the transmission only after having ensured that there is no one
close to the machine.
The rotation speed of the power take-off must correspond to the
maximum rotation speed permissible by the machine.
11
Safety
Uncoupling the
machine
Hydraulic system
There is a higher risk of injury when uncoupling the machine from the
tractor! Therefore:
• Immobilise the tractor.
• Never stand between the tractor and the machine when coupling.
• Actuate the three-point power lift system slowly and carefully.
• Make sure that the machine is on flat and sufficiently stable
ground.
• Only disconnect hydraulic tubes if there is no pressure in the
tractor and machine hydraulic system.
The hydraulic system is pressurised.
When connecting the hydraulic system, make sure that the tractor
system and tool are not pressurised.
Connect the hydraulic system according to the instructions in the
user's handbook. Identify the connectors using a colour code to avoid
incorrect connections (the reversal of functions can cause accidents).
Before any intervention on the hydraulic system, block the folding
extensions and hydraulically controlled accessories in their rest
position, reduce the pressure and stop the tractor engine.
