Consumables
Unsuitable consumables
Consumables which do not comply with the requirements of the manufacturer may impair the
operational safety of the machine and cause accidents.
Use only consumables which comply with the requirements of the manufacturer.
For requirements on consumables,
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.
2.3.16
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.
