Safety in operation
Commissioning
The operational safety of the machine cannot
be guaranteed without an orderly performed
commissioning. This can lead to accidents with
severe or even fatal physical injuries.
¾
The machine must only be put into operation
after receiving instructions by employees of
the authorized dealer or a HORSCH em-
ployee.
¾
The machine registration form must be com-
pleted and returned to HORSCH.
Only use the machine with all protective features
and safety relevant installations, such as e.g.
detachable safety features, in place and fully
functional.
¾
Check nuts and bolts, especially the ones on
wheels and cultivation tools regularly for tight
fit and retighten if necessary.
¾
Check tyre pressure regularly.
Damage to the machine
Damage to the machine can impair the op-
erational safety of the machine and cause ac-
cidents. This can lead to severe or even fatal
physical injuries.
The following machine parts are particularly
important for safety:
¾
Hydraulic system
¾
Brakes
¾
Connecting features
¾
Protective features
¾
Lighting
If in doubt about the safety relevant status of the
machine, e.g. in case of leaking out operating
fluids, visible damage or unexpected changes
in travel behaviour:
¾
Immediately shut down and secure the ma-
chine.
¾
If possible locate and rectify the faults by fol-
lowing these operating instructions.
¾
Rectify possible causes for damage (e.g. re-
move coarse dirt and tighten loose screws).
¾
Have damage, that could affect safety and
that cannot be rectified by yourself, rectified
by a qualified expert workshop.
Hitching and unhitching
Faulty hitching up of the machine to the pulling
tool of the tractor causes dangers, which could
result in severe accidents.
¾
Caution with negative drawbar load!
With
an empty hopper and under certain op-
erating conditions the machine may have a
negative drawbar load.
The rear axle of the tractor is unloaded. This
has a negative effect on the steering and
braking characteristics.
Caution when unhitching!
Always fold the wings in or rest them on the
ground beforehand.
¾
Only park the machine on a firm and level
surface. Before unhitching the machine, lower
it to the ground.
The machine could other-
wise strike up! The seed wagon could tip
backwards!
¾
Strictly comply with all operating instructions:
•
These operating instructions (chapter
"Hitching up and transport position" and
"Parking")
•
Operating instructions of the tractor
¾
Take special care when reversing the tractor.
Never stand between tractor and machine.
¾
Secure the machine against rolling away.
