Safety
2.2.10 Battery
1. Maintenance work on the batteries requires
sufficient knowledge and mounting tools according
to the instructions.
2. Keep naked flames, burning matches and spark
sources clear of the battery. Risk of explosion!
3. Never check the charging level of the battery by
connecting the two poles with a metal object. Use
an acid tester or voltmeter.
4. Never charge a frozen battery. Explosion hazard!
Warm the battery to 16 °C beforehand.
5. Battery acid can cause severe injuries by burning
your skin and eyes. For this reason, wear suitable
protective clothing.
2.2.11 Cooling system
A heated cooling system is pressurised –
Burning hazard! For this reason, only remove the
radiator cap with the engine switched off and after
the engine has been able to cool.
2.2.12 Tyres
1. When working on the tyres, make sure that the
device is in a safe position and has been secured
against rolling (wheel chocks).
2. You must have adequate knowledge and the proper
tools to undertake the work of fitting wheels and
tyres!
3. Repair work on the tyres and wheels should only be
carried out by specially trained personnel and only
tools appropriate to the job should be used!
4. Check tyre pressure regularly! Inflate the tyres to
the recommended pressures!
5. Check the wheel nuts periodically! Missing wheel
nuts can result in a wheel falling off and the
machine tipping over.
2.2.13 Emergency exit
There is an emergency hammer in the cab. In
emergency situations, you can use it to smash the
cabin window.
2.2.14 Working in the vicinity of power
transmission lines
1. Always take great care when working under or in
the vicinity of power transmission lines.
2. Please remember that during operation of the
forage harvester, the overall height of 4 m is
exceeded considerably due to the upper discharge
chute.
3. If there is any need to travel under overhead lines,
the machine operator must request information on
the rated voltage and the minimum height of the
overhead lines from the overhead line operator.
4. Always keep the safety distances according to the
table.

2.2.15 Fire prevention measures
1. Before starting to work, make sure the fire
extinguisher is in a condition according to the
regulations and familiarise yourself with how to use
it.
2. The associated fire extinguisher must be serviced
periodically. If it was used, it must always be
refilled, even if you only used it very briefly.
3. To avoid fire hazards, always keep the forage
harvester clean! In particular remove any crop
wound around rotating parts.
4. The forage harvester is also used to process very
dry crop (hay, straw), which constitutes an
imminent fire hazard.
5. The fire hazard can be reduced by removing
accumulated crop from the machine several times
a day (interval depends on the type of crop) and
checking the machine components for overheating.
Check for oil leaks or exiting oil and take corrective
action. Heed the lubricating instructions. Take
special care when regrinding the cutting blades –
fire hazard due to flying sparks! Before regrinding
the blades, clear the vicinity of the machine of any
crop/substances that may catch fire!
