Manual for
BAUER RAINSTAR A3

6.
Liquids emerging under high pressure (hydraulic oil) may penetrate the skin and cause serious
injuries! An injured person must see a doctor immediately! Danger of infection!
7.
Before working on the hydraulic system the machine must be lowered, the system
depressurised and the engine turned off!
Electric-driven implements
1. All work beyond normal maintenance of the implement should be performed only by a professional
electrician!
2.
Defective or broken plugs and sockets must be replaced by a professional electrician!
3.
Never pull a plug out of the socket at the flexible electric cord!
4. Extension cables for power supply should be used only temporarily! Never use such lines
permanently as a substitute for the required fixed installations!
5.
Flexible lines laid across traffic areas on the farm must have at least 5 m ground clearance!
6.
Always turn off the power supply before you do any work on the machine!
7. Check all electric lines for visible defects before you put the machine into operation! Replace
defective cables and do not start the machine before that!
8. Never use electric-driven implements in damp situations or locations exposed to fire hazard
unless they are adequately protected against moisture and dust!
9. Covering electric motors may cause heat concentration with high temperatures which could
destroy the operating equipment and cause fires!
Hand-operated devices (valves)
1. Because of the slurry gasses produced in the lines, no slurry is allowed to remain in closed
pipelines – bursting hazard!
2.
Lay the pipelines with sufficient inclination and make sure that the selected closing order of valves
allows all lines to be drained completely!
3.
Protect the valves against unauthorised handling!
4. If a valve gets jammed do not apply force! Use only the operating levers supplied with the
implement!
5. Observe the permissible maximum operating pressure of valves and pipelines when pumps are
operated!
6.
Service only when the tanks are empty!
Maintenance
1. Never perform any maintenance, service or cleaning work or fault elimination steps unless the
drive is turned off and the engine is standing still!
2.
Check proper fit of all nuts and bolts regularly and tighten them, if necessary.
3. If maintenance work is required on the lifted machine always secure it by means of appropriate
supports!
4. When exchanging tools with cutting edges always use proper tools and wear safe protective
gloves.
5.
Dispose of oil, grease and filters according to local laws and regulations!
6.
Always turn off power before working on the electric system!
7. Before electric welding on the tractor and mounted machines the generator and battery cables
must be disconnected!
8. Spare parts must meet manufacturer’s minimum technical specifications! This is the case for
instance with original spare parts for instance!
