Safety
2.2.5 Attached devices
1. Special care is required when coupling and
uncoupling the maize header onto or from the
forage harvester!
2. The maize header must only be attached to the
forage harvester for which it is intended.
3. Work on the maize header must only be performed
when the engine is stopped and turned off and the
ignition key has been removed. All operating levers
must be in the neutral setting and no hydraulic
lines may be under pressure.
4. Only perform jobs under the maize header when it
is raised if it is securely supported.
5. The maize header must be brought basically into
the transport position on public roads and paths.
Attach protective cloths and front guard to the
maize header and connect the lighting.
2.2.6 PTO operation
1. Only PTO shafts specified by the manufacturer
may be used!
2. The protective tube and protective funnel of the PTO
shaft as well as the PTO shield - also on the imple-
ment end - must be attached and in proper condi-
tion!
3. Make sure that the required tube covers for PTO
shafts are in place in transport and working position!
4. Before installing or removing PTO shafts, switch off
the PTO shaft, turn the engine off and remove the
ignition key!
5. When using PTO shafts with an overload or free-wheel
couplings that are not covered by the protective equip-
ment on the tractor, the overload or free-wheel cou-
plings must be attached to the device!
6. Always make sure that the PTO shafts are mounted
correctly and secured properly!
7. Secure the PTO shaft guard against turning by hook-
ing in the chains!
8. Before switching on the PTO shaft, make sure that
the selected PTO shaft speed of the tractor agrees
with the permissible speed of the device!
9. Before switching on the PTO shaft make sure that
no person is in the hazard area of the device!
10. Never switch on the PTO with the engine turned off!
11. While working with the PTO, nobody is permitted to
stay in the range of the turning PTO or PTO shaft.
12. Always switch off the PTO in the case of excessive
bending and if the PTO is not required!
13. Caution! After switching off the PTO, there is
danger due to the inertia of the flywheel mass! Do
not come near the implement during this time. Start
working on the machine only when it has come to a
complete halt.
14. Cleaning, lubricating or adjusting PTO driven
implements or the PTO shaftonly with PTO
disengaged, engine turned off and ignition key
withdrawn!
15. Place the uncoupled PTO shaft on the holder
provided!
16. After removal of the PTO shaft, fit the protective
sleeve on the PTO stump!
17. Immediately repair any damage before working with
the device.
2.2.7 Hydraulic system
1. The hydraulic system is under pressure!
2. When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors
pay attention to the specified connection of the
hydraulic hoses!
3. When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the forage
harvester hydraulics, take care that the hydraulic
system is depressurised both on the tractor side
and on the device side!
4. When functions are connected hydraulically between
the forage harvester and the machine, coupling
sleeves and plugs should be identified so that faulty
operation is excluded! On changeover of the
connections reversed function (e.g. raising/lowering)
- Danger of accident!
5. Check hydraulic hose lines periodically and replace
them if they are damaged or worn through age! The
replacement hose lines must meet the technical
requirements of the device manufacturer!
