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 hydraulics has several functions,
which can cause injury to persons or damage to
the machine if operated incorrectly.
¾
Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor only
when the hydraulics on tractor and machine
are depressurised.
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
Allow the hydraulic oil to cool down before any
maintenance work on the hydraulic system.
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 hydraulics 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 coupling 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 for this purpose.
Overhead lines
When unfolding or folding the wings, the ma-
chine may reach the height of overhead lines.
Possible voltage flashover to the machine caus
-
ing 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 lines to avoid possible risks of
electric shock or voltage flashover.
