1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 General safety instructions
The user of the coulter is responsible for his or her own safety and that of bystanders in the area around this
machine. It is therefore essential that the user has sufficient knowledge about the use of the machine and how to
couple it to the tractor.
The figures and descriptions in this manual must be provided to both users and maintenance staff and the general
instructions must be observed with regard to the use and maintenance of the machine. If there is any doubt or lack
of clarity, the dealer can always be consulted.
This machine may only be used for the purpose for which it has been designed and tested. Moreover, the machine
may only be used with a suitable tractor and be powered by a suitable power take-off drive on the tractor. Any other
use is strictly prohibited.
The machine has been built in accordance with the applicable safety regulations, which is why the manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage that arises from:
• The use of the machine if one or more of the covers/guards is missing.
• Incorrect use of the machine.
• The use of the machine by untrained people or by people who have not been give authorized access.
• Incorrect coupling of the machine to the tractor.
• Defective or insufficient maintenance.
• Unauthorized changes or activities performed on the machine.
• Use of non-original spare parts or parts not specific to the machine.
• Non-compliance with all or a part of the instructions in this manual.
• Extraordinary weather conditions.
Workplace
When working with the machine, the operator must sit on the seat of the tractor: any other location is not allowed
ever.
Bystanders may not come too close to the machine when it is being used. It is possible for objects to be ejected from
the machine. The operator of the machine must always remain approximately 100 m (328 feet) away from
bystanders.
Only leave the driver’s seat when:
• The power take-off shaft has been switched off.
• The engine has been switched off.
• Rotating parts have come to a standstill.
Noise
The noise level is such that the level to which users are exposed on a daily basis is less than 70 dBA. This
measurement was made using a sound level meter at a distance of approximately 1.6 m (5.25 feet) from the
machine and at a height of 2 m (6.56 feet). The machine has been adjusted to an unloaded work area and has a
rotational speed of 540 rpm of the power take-off shaft on ground on which grass grows.
