Only use appropriate aids when checking
for leaks. Repair any damage immediately.
Spurting oil can cause injuries and fires!
In case of injury, contact a doctor immediately.
The socket and plugs for the hydraulic
connections between the tractor and the
machine should be colour-coded in order
to avoid incorrect use.
1.6.3 Changing Equipment
• Secure the machine to prevent it from
accidentally rolling away!
• Use suitable supports to secure any
raised frame sections suspended above
you!
• Caution! Risk of injury due to projecting
parts!
Never climb on to rotating parts
such as the roll unit. These parts
may rotate causing you to slip and
suffer serious injury!
Removing components during
maintenance may affect the
stability of the machine. Ensure
it is fully supported in case of
unexpected weight shifts.
1.6.4 During Operation
Ensure that the working range and the area
around the machine are clear (children!)
before operating the machine.
Always ensure adequate visibility!

Do not stand on the machine while it is in
operation!
Operators must have a valid driving licence
in order to drive on public roads. In the
operating area, the operator is responsible
for third parties.
The person in charge must:
• provide the operator with a copy of the
Operating Instructions, and
• ensure that the operator has read and
understood the instructions.
• make sure that the operator is aware of the
specific regulations relating to the machine
when driving on public roads.
1.7 Servicing &
Maintenance
Ensure that regular checks and inspections
are always carried out within the periods
required by law or specified in these
Operating Instructions.
When carrying out service and maintenance
work always:
• switch off the tractor engine and remove
the ignition key.
• wait until all the machine parts have
stopped moving.
• depressurise the hydraulic system.
Many hydraulic circuits contain lock or
overcentre valves which can retain pressure
in the lines even after depressurising the
tractor side of these circuits. If in doubt,
consult trained personnel (such as your
local dealer) to ensure such valves are
depressurised to the correct procedure
before removing or servicing any parts
connected downstream of these valves.
