When mounting the implement, the operator must ensure that there is a metallic connection (ensured
by the lower link) established with the tractor.
The operator must ensure that the implement cannot lower when driving on roads (shut-off valve on
the tractor's hydraulic system or similar safeguard).
When driving on roads, which is only permitted with the implement lifted and with folded side frames,
the control block on the hydraulic cylinder prevents lowering of the implement and lowering of the
folded-up side frames (additionally secured with a chain). The hooked-in chain also prevents
accidental lowering of the side frame in road transport in the event that the tractor hydraulic system
fails.
Mounting of any accessories on the implement must be executed in accordance with standards. The
maximum permitted mounted weight / total weight of the implement must not be exceeded.
Only APV machines and accessories may be mounted on the implement.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system is under high pressure!
Ensure that the hydraulic hoses are connected as prescribed when connecting hydraulic cylinders
and hydraulic motors!
When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic system, ensure that the hydraulics on
both tractor and implement are depressurized!
For hydraulic function connections between tractor and implement, coupling sleeves and coupling
connectors must be marked so that the possibility of operating error can be excluded! Swapping the
connections reverses the function (e.g. lifting/lowering)
– risk of accident!
Regularly inspect hydraulic hose lines and replace them if they are damaged or ageing! The
replacement hoses must meet the technical requirements specified by the implement manufacturer!
Due to the danger of injury, use the appropriate aids when looking for leaks!
Liquids that escape under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause severe
injuries! If there are injuries, seek medical attention immediately! (Danger of infection!)
Before tasks on the hydraulic system, set down the implement, depressurize the system, and turn off
the engine!
Only detach the securing chains after they have been slackened! (The cylinder must be filled with oil).
The operator must carefully and cleanly establish the connections to the tractor hydraulic system when
installing the implement.
5.5
MAINTENANCE
Always perform repair, maintenance, and cleaning tasks, and eliminate malfunctions when the drive
is switched off, the engine is at a standstill, and the implement has been uncoupled from the towing
vehicle! Remove the ignition key! Check to ensure de-energized status!
The maintenance tasks themselves must only be performed by trained specialists and must never be
performed alone. The utmost caution is required when replacing defective components or tools.
The mounted implement must always be disconnected from the towing vehicle for service or
maintenance tasks. If repairs or maintenance tasks are required on the implement that can only be
performed in conjunction with the towing vehicle, these tasks must be identified by a clearly visible
information sign "Caution: Maintenance Work".
Regularly check nuts and bolts for firm seat and retighten if necessary!
When performing maintenance tasks on the raised implement, always prevent it from lowering by
means of appropriate support elements!
Use suitable tools and gloves that are cut-resistant when replacing work tools with sharp edges!
Components that cannot be removed with tools, such as a screwdriver or wrench, may only be
replaced by qualified specialists from an appropriately authorised company or by APV Customer
Service.
Properly dispose of oil, grease, and filters in accordance with local regulations!
Always disconnect the power supply before working on the electrical system!
