Hydraulics
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Escaping fluid can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injuries. In the event of injury, consult a
doctor immediately.
The machine's hydraulic system has several
functions, which can cause injury to persons or
damage to the machine if operated incorrectly.
¾
Do not connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor
before both hydraulic systems on machine
and tractor are de-pressurised.
¾
Lower all hydraulically lifted parts (e.g. wings,
packer, undercarriage, etc.) to the ground
before performing any work on the hydraulic
system. Depressurise the hydraulics on the
tractor and implement side.
¾
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
¾
Use only appropriate means when searching
for leaks. Repair any damage immediately!
Oil sprays can cause injuries and fire!
¾
Power sockets and connectors on the hydrau-
lic connections should be marked in order to
exclude operating errors.
¾
In the case of injury, contact a doctor imme-
diately!
¾
Secure and lock the control unit on the tractor
if not in use!
¾
Replace hydraulic hoses at the latest after six
years, see Maintenance overview .
Pressure accumulator
The hydraulic system may be equipped with
pressure accumulators.
¾
Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on
pressure accumulators. Even when empty,
the tanks are still preloaded by gas pressure.
The hydraulic system must be depressurized
before maintenance!
Brake system
Depending on the equipment, the machines can
be equipped with a pneumatically or hydrauli-
cally operated service brake system.
For road travel the brake system must always
be connected and fully functional.
¾
After hitching the machine and before trans-
portation you should always check the func-
tion and condition of the brake system.
¾
Check the setting on the brake pressure
regulator.
¾
Always release the parking brake before start-
ing to drive.
¾
Always secure the machine against rolling
away and apply the parking brake before
unhitching.
Adjustments and repair work on the brake sys-
tem must only be carried out in a professional
workshop or by an operator, who has been
specially trained by HORSCH.
Overhead lines
When unfolding or folding the wings, the ma-
chine may reach the height of overhead power
lines. Possible voltage flashover to the machine
causing fatal electric shock or fire.
¾
Keep a safe distance to electric high voltage
power lines with the folded up machine or when
unfolding or folding the machine.
¾
Do not unfold or fold the wings in the vicinity
of pylons and power lines.
¾
Never leave or access the machine under
overhead power lines to avoid possible risks
of electric shock or voltage flashover.
