important to observe the accident prevention
regulations specified by agricultural trade as -
sociations!
Hitching / unhitching
There is risk of injury to persons when hitching/
unhitching the machine to / from the drawbar of
the tractor.
¾
Secure the machine against rolling away.

Take special care when reversing the tractor.
Never stand between tractor and machine.

Only park the machine on a firm and level
surface. Before unhitching the machine, lower
it to the ground.
On the hydraulic system

Do not connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor,
before both hydraulic systems on machine
and tractor are de-pressurised.

Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
¾

leaks. Repair any damage immediately! Oil
sprays can cause injuries and fire!
¾
In the case of injury, contact a doctor imme-
diately!
The hydraulic spool valves on the trac-
tor must be secured or locked when not
in use or when the machine is in trans-
port position, in order to prevent acci-
dents caused by unintended hydraulic
movements or movements caused by
persons other than the operator (chil-
dren, passengers).
Operational safety
The machine must only be put into operation
after receiving instructions by employees of the
authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee. The
machine registration form has to be completed
and returned to HORSCH.

Road traffic safety
The valid road traffic regulations are to be ob -
served when travelling on public roads, paths
and areas.
Do not exceed the max. permissible widths
and attach light system, warning and protective
devices.
Also observe transport height depending on the
coupled machine!
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tyre
carrying capacities and total weights, in order
to ensure sufficient steering and braking capa -
bilities. Handling is affected by the connected
equipment. It is important to take into account
the large overhang and the centrifugal mass of
the implement, particularly when cornering.
Clean all soil off the machine before driving on
public roads.
Passengers are strictly forbidden to ride on the
machine!
When transporting along public roads pay
attention to the permissible top speed spec-
ified in the type approval.

to the undercarriage.
Consider personal abilities, carriageway,
traffic, sight and weather conditions.
