Safety
The following applies to all maintenance work:
\
WARNING
Observe the safety information
Disregard for safety information can lead to serious or fatal injury.
See chapter »Safety«, page 8.
Requirements for maintenance work
Only perform the maintenance work if you have the required
expert knowledge and suitable tools. A lack of technical
knowledge or suitable tools can cause accidents and injuries.
Protect the machine against unintended starting
The following conditions must be observed for carrying out repairs
and maintenance work and rectifying malfunctions on the machine
when it is coupled:
•
Switch off the PTO shaft drive.
•
Place all controls in neutral or park.
•
Set tractor parking brake.
•
Shut off the engine, set the parking brake, remove the ignition
key and secure the tractor against rolling away.
•
Ensure the machine is standing on firm, secure and level
ground, and provide additional support, if necessary.
•
Secure the machine against rolling away (use wheel chocks).
Serious accidents may be caused if the machine starts uninten-
tionally.
Use OEM replacement parts
Many components have special properties that are decisive for the
stability and correct operation of the machine. Only spare parts
and accessories supplied by the manufacturer have been tested
and approved. Other products may adversely affect the correct
operation of the machine and safety. The use of non-OEM
replacement parts renders the manufacturer's guarantee null and
void and frees the manufacturer from all liability.
Securing moving parts
Moving parts must be secured with lifting gear against sliding,
folding or swivelling. Otherwise, serious injury to persons or
damage to the machine may be caused as a result.
Disconnect electrical connections before performing welding
work
Disconnect all electrical connections from the tractor when
carrying out welding on the hitched machine. Otherwise, electrical
and hydraulic systems will be damaged as a result.
