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 (as far as available)
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 machine.
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, whic´h could
result in severe accidents.
¾
Strictly comply with all operating instructions:
•
These operating instructions (chapter “Hitch-
ing 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
Only park the machine on a firm and level
surface. Before unhitching the machine, lower
it to the ground.
¾
Secure the machine against rolling away.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can pen-
etrate 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
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 a
pressure accumulators.
¾
Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on pres-
sure accumulators. Even when empty, the ac-
cumulator is still preloaded by gas pressure.
The hydraulic system must be depressurized
before maintenance!
