Sources of danger on the machine
Noise may damage your health
The noise development of the machine during operation may cause health damage such as hardness of hearing, deafness or tinnitus. When using the machine at high rotational speed, the noise level also increases. The height of the sound pressure level depends mainly on the tractor used. The emissions value was measured with the cabin closed under conditions according to
DIN EN ISO 4254-1, Appendix B, see Page 49
.
Before starting up the machine, estimate the risk caused by noise.
Depending on the ambient conditions, working hours and the working and operating conditions of the machine, specify and use suitable hearing protection.
Specify rules for the use of hearing protection and for the working time.
During operation keep windows and doors of the cabin closed.
Remove hearing protection for road travel.
Liquids under high pressure
The following liquids are under high pressure:
• Hydraulic oil
Liquids escaping under high pressure may penetrate through the skin and cause severe injuries.
Shut down and safeguard the machine and contact qualified specialist workshop upon suspicion of damaged hydraulic system.
Never search for leaks with bare hands. Even a very pin-sized hole may lead to serious injuries.
When searching for leaks, use suitable aids, e.g. a piece of cardboard to avoid injuries.
Keep body and face away from leaks.
If liquids penetrate the body, immediately consult a doctor. The liquid must be removed from the body as quickly as possible.
Hot liquids
Persons can suffer burns and/or scalding when hot liquids are drained.
Wear personal protective equipment when hot consumables are drained.
If necessary, allow liquids and machine parts to cool down before you start repair, maintenance and cleaning work.
Damaged hydraulic hoses
Damaged hydraulic hoses may tear off, burst or cause oil leaks. As a result, the machine may be damaged and people may be seriously injured.
Shut down and safeguard the machine, see Page 24
.
If it is suspected that hydraulic hoses are damaged, immediately contact a service centre,

Calculating the ballasting of the tractor-machine combination
WARNING
Danger due to wrong weight distribution in the tractor-machine combination
Due to wrong weight distribution in the tractor-machine combination, people may be seriously or fatally injured.
Before starting up the tractor-machine combination, check the following requirements and, if required, adjust according to the operating instructions.
When attaching implements at the front and rear, the permitted total weight, the permitted axle loads and the tyre load capacity of the tractor must not be exceeded. These specifications can be found on the type plate, in the vehicle registration document or in the operating instructions for the tractor.
Even with an implement mounted at the rear, the front axle of the tractor must always be loaded with at least 20% of the tare weight of the tractor.
To ensure the suitability of the tractor, perform the following calculation before mounting the implement on the tractor:

Game animal protection

EQ003-725
When mowing from “outside to inside”, the animals are slowly forced from the safe boundary area into the centre of the area, which makes the possibility for a life-saving escape for the animal more difficult or takes it away.
A remedy for this issue is the mowing method from “inside to outside” of the area.
Instead of mowing any edge sections at first, the operator drives straight into the middle of the field and then mows in a left-handed spiral "from the inside to the outside". This allows animals to escape from the field unharmed by following their natural instinct to flee.

Venting the friction clutch
NOTICE
Interventions in the friction clutch will lead to a loss of guarantee!
Interventions in the friction clutch change the slip torque. Therefore the machine may be damaged considerably.
Never intervene in the overload protection.
Only use KRONE original spare parts.
Overloading and brief torque peaks limit the torque and transfer it evenly during slipping.
To guarantee the function, friction clutches must be bled before the initial start-up and after a prolonged standstill. To do this, the friction linings must be relieved and the clutch manually rotated.
The friction clutch is designed with a permanently adjusted turning torque M
