SAFETY REGULATIONS
The machine should only be used, maintained and repaired by trained employees who are aware of the eventual risks. It is
essential to respect the safety regulations mentioned on the machine and accessory stickers and those given in this manual.
Before transport on public highways, it is essential to ensure that the current Highway Code is respected and that the machine is in
accordance with safety working regulations.
GENERAL
1- In addition to the instructions contained in this manual, legislation relating to safety instructions and accident prevention should be
complied with.
2- Warnings affixed to the machine give indications regarding safety measures to be observed and help to avoid accidents.
3- When travelling on public roads, abide by the provisions of the Highway Code.
4- Before starting work, it is essential that the user familiarizes himself with the control and operating elements of the machine and their
respective functions. When the machine is running, it may be too late.
5- The user should avoid wearing loose clothing which may be caught up in the moving parts.
6- We recommend using a tractor with a safety cab or roll bar conforming to standards in force.
7- Before starting up the machine and beginning work, check the immediate surroundings, particularly for children. Make sure that visibility
is adequate. Clear any persons or animals out of the danger zone.
8- It is strictly forbidden to transport any persons or animals on board the machine whether it is in operation or not.
9- The machine should only be coupled up to the tractor at the specially provided towing points and in accordance with applicable safety
standards.
10- Extreme care must be taken when coupling or uncoupling the machine from the tractor.
11- Before hitching up the machine, ensure that the front axle of the tractor is sufficiently weighted. Ballast weights should be fitted to the
special supports in accordance with the instructions of the tractor manufacturer.
12- Do not exceed the maximum axle weight or the gross vehicle weight rating.
13- Do not exceed the maximum authorized dimensions for using public roads.
14- Before entering a public road, ensure that the protective and signalling devices (lights, reflectors, etc.) required by law are fitted and
working properly.
15- All remote controls (cords, cables, rods, hoses, etc.) must be positioned so that they cannot accidentally set off any manoeuvre which
may cause an accident or damage.
16- Before entering a public road, place the machine in the transport position, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
17- Never leave the driver's position whilst the tractor is running.
18- The speed and the method of operation must always be adapted to the land, roads and paths. Avoid sudden changes of direction under
all circumstances.
19- Precision of the steering, tractor adhesion, road holding and effectiveness of the braking mechanism are influenced by factors such as
the weight and nature of the machine being towed, the front axle stage and the state of the land or path. It is essential, therefore, that the
appropriate care is taken for each situation.
20- Take extra care when cornering, taking account of the overhang, length, height and weight of the machine or trailer being towed.
21- Before using the machine, ensure that all protective devices are fitted and in good condition. Damaged protectors should be replaced
immediately.
22- Before using the machine, check that nuts and screws are tight, particularly those for attaching tools (discs, flickers, deflectors, etc.).
Tighten if necessary.
23- Do not stand in the operation area of the machine
24- Caution! Be aware of any crushing and shearing zones on remote-controlled parts
25- Before climbing down from the tractor, or before any operation on the machine, turn off the engine, remove the key from the ignition and
wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill.
26- Do not stand between the tractor and the machine until the handbrake has been applied and/or the wheels have been wedged.
27- Before any operation on the machine, ensure that it cannot be started up accidentally.
