Safety
2.2.5 Self-propelled work machine
1. When driving on public roads, the hazard warning
lights or the revolving signal light and the excess
width identification equipment must be used in
compliance with the applicable national traffic
regulations.
2. Switch on the lights so that the vehicle can be
easily recognised.
3. Safety equipment.
4. Always check the machine for driving and
operational safety before use.
5. Hold on to the hand grip when getting on and off
the forage harvester.
6. It is not permitted to transport people on the
platform.
7. The road safety switch must be in road position
during road travel to ensure that all hydraulic
functions - except for the steering and brakes – are
deactivated.
8. Only drive the machine at the permitted speed.
9. Implements must be in transport position and
locked in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions for road driving.
10. If the engine is running in an enclosed space,
divert the exhaust fumes and ensure sufficient
ventilation.
11. When using starting fluid, avoid ignition sources
and naked flames. Keep starting fluid clear of
batteries and electrical cables.
12. When passing through corners, always take into
consideration the width of the front attachment and
the fact that the rear of the forage harvester will
swivel out. The condition of the ground influences
the driving properties of the forage harvester.
13. Drive with care if you notice pits, ditches and
obstacles; they can cause the forage harvester to
overturn. This is particularly important on slopes.
2.2.6 Autopilot
1. The autopilot must only be used for its intended
purpose. It must only be used in open fields, off
public and semi-public roads, away from open
areas frequented by people and far away from any
persons that could be endangered. They must only
be used for their intended purpose:
• Automatic forage harvester guiding on
a stalk-line row of plants.
2. Before placing autopilot in service, its full
functionality must be verified and all its modules
checked.
To do this, the user should proceed as follows:
- Check switching off of the autopilot when the
steering wheel is moved and the door contact
switch engages (open the door).
- Check for proper operating condition - i.e. free of
mechanical damages and leaks – row tracers,
wheel angle transmitter as well as all visible hoses
and wiring.
3. When the autopilot is in operation, there must be on
one within 50 m of the forage harvester in any
direction.
4. The operator is not permitted to leave the driver’s
cabin while the autopilot is in operation.
5. While the autopilot is in operation, the driver must
regularly check the direction in which the machine
is moving and its travel path to be able to take over
manual control of the harvest forager immediately if
obstructions or interruptions come up in the
vehicle’s path.
6. After the autopilot has been in operation and before
leaving the field, the autopilot must always be
switched off on the autopilot release switch on the
console.
7. Manipulating safety-related elements of the
autopilot is prohibited, as is making changes to the
hydraulic, electrical or electronic components.
8. The autopilot should only be installed by an
authorised service centre.
