Battery
¾
Maintenance work on the battery requires ap-
propriate knowledge and proper tools!
¾
Keep open fire, burning matches and sparks
away from the battery!
¾
Never check the charge level of the battery
by connecting both poles to a metal object.
Use a Voltmeter.
¾
Do not recharge a frozen battery, danger of
explosion! Heat the battery up to at least 16 °C
beforehand.
¾
Battery acid can cause severe injury by cau-
terization of skin and eyes. Wear protective
clothing.
Cooling system
The heated up cooling system is under pressure!
You should therefore only remove the radiator
cap after the engine has been shut down and
cooled down.
Brake system
The machine is equipped with a pneumatic or
hydraulic service brake system.
¾
Always check the condition of the brake sys-
tem before each travel.
¾
Immediately stop the machine in case of brake
system malfunctions. Have the malfunction
remedied immediately!
¾
Always release the parking brake before start-
ing to drive.
¾
Secure the machine against rolling away and
apply the parking brake.
¾
The brake system must be checked at regular
intervals!
¾
Before starting work in the brake system park
the machine safely and secure it against ac-
cidental lowering and rolling away (wheel
chocks)!
¾
Be extremely careful when performing weld-
ing, torch cutting and drilling work near brake
lines!
¾
After any setup and maintenance work on the
brake system you must generally carry out a
brake test!
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 for this purpose.
Overhead lines
When unfolding or folding the folding boom, the
machine may reach the height of overhead lines.
Possible voltage flashover to the machine may
cause fatal electric shock or fire.
¾
Keep a safe distance to electric high voltage
power lines when unfolding or folding the fold-
ing boom.
¾
Never unfold or fold the folding boom in the
vicinity of power poles and power lines.
¾
With the folding boom unfolded and raised,
keep a sufficient distance to electric high volt -
age power lines.
¾
Never leave or access the machine under
overhead lines to avoid possible risks of
electric shock or voltage flashover.
¾
When operating the sprayer under high volt-
age power lines disable the BoomControl and
operate the slope compensation manually.
What to do in case of voltage flashover
Voltage flashover generates high electric volt -
ages on the outside of the machine. This results
in extreme voltage differences at the ground
around the machine. Wide strides, laying on the
ground or supporting yourself with your hands
on the ground can cause life-threatening electric
currents (pace voltage).
¾
Do not leave the cabin.
¾
Do not touch any metal objects.
¾
Do not create a conductive connection to
ground.
¾
Warn persons: DO NOT come near the ma-
chine. Electric voltages at the ground can
cause severe electric shock.
¾
Wait for professional rescuers. The overhead
power line needs to be switched off.
