Safety
- Keep at a safe distance from the machine when it is operating.
- Never try to use the machine without placing the protective covering tarp, as objects can be thrown by
the blades, which can injure people. Be especially careful when working around roadways and
constructions.
- Check the terrain before starting your work. Mark the dangerous areas or obstacles which may make
the work dangerous.
- Be especially careful when coupling and uncoupling the machine from the tractor.
- Never operate the machine inside closed surrounding without ventilation, gases released from the
tractor motor are very harmful to the health of the operator.
- Place the machine in an appropriate position for transporting.
- When transporting the machine on public roads, obey the local regulations on traffic and safety. Find
out the legal limits on the maximum height and width for transport. Pay special attention to the height,
especially when going under overpasses.
- Never leave the tractor when the machine is turned on. Stop the motor, disconnect it from the power
take-off, engage the parking brake, and remove the key from the ignition before getting out.
- Leakage of the fluid from the hydraulic system is almost imperceptible. Use a piece of wood or
cardboard but never your hands to check for leakage. Protect your hands and body, as these fluids
may be released at high pressure and cause serious injuries. In case of any accident, consult with a
doctor immediately.
- Always adjust the speed of the tractor to the local conditions. Avoid sudden maneuvers, especially in
uneven locations. When the load hitched to the tractor is heavier than the tractor, do not exceed 16
km/hour.
- Pay double attention when working on sloped terrains and if you notice any signs of being
imbalanced, reduce acceleration. Keep the tractor always engaged when going down slopes.
- The tractor must always be maneuverable. Place enough counterweights on the tractor, so the front
tires stay in firm contact with the ground.
- Be prepared in case of an accident. Keep a first-aid kit in an easily accessible location. And know how
to use it.
- Comply with the safety recommendations and pay attention. Any lack of attention while operating the
machine can cause accidents.
