For requirements on consumables, refer to page 34 .
Environmental protection and disposal
Consumables such as diesel fuel, brake fluid, antifreeze and lubricants (e.g. gearbox oil,
hydraulic oil) may damage the environment and the health of people.
„ Do not release consumables into the environment.
„
Fill consumables in a liquid-tight labelled container and dispose of according to the official
regulations.
„ Absorb leaked consumables with an absorbent material, fill them in a liquid-tight labelled
container and dispose of according to the official regulations.
2.3.17 Dangers arising from environment
Danger of fire
Flammable materials may accumulate in the machine due to operation or animals, for example
rodents or nesting birds.
In case of dry usage conditions, dust, impurities and crop residues may inflame on hot parts and
the resulting fire could seriously hurt people or kill them.
„
Check and clean the machine every day before using it for the first time.
„
Check and clean the machine regularly during the working day.
Life-threatening electric shock from overhead lines
When folding the mowers in and out, the machine may reach the height of overhead lines. This
may cause voltage to flash over to the machine and cause a fatal electric shock or fire.
„
Keep a sufficient distance from electrical overhead lines when folding the mowers in and
out.
„
Never fold the mowers in or out near pylons and overhead lines.
„
With mowers folded in, keep a sufficient distance from electrical overhead lines.
„ To avoid a potential electric shock caused by a voltage flashover, never leave or climb into
the tractor under overhead lines.
Behaviour in case of voltage flashover of overhead lines
Electroconductive parts of the machine could be subject to high electrical voltage caused by
voltage flashover. A voltage drop where major voltage differences are present is created on the
ground around the machine in case of voltage flashover. Due to major voltage differences in the
ground, you could be killed by electric shocks when you make big steps, lay on the ground or
support yourself with your hands.
„
Do not leave the cabin.
„ Do not touch any metal parts.
„
Do not establish any conductive connection to the ground.
„ Warn persons: Do not approach the machine. Electrical voltage on the ground may lead to
severe electric shocks.
„
Wait for help from professional rescue teams. The overhead line must be switched off.
