Electric Circuit
Before connecting up the machines electric circuit:
- check the state of the electric circuit (harnesses, fuses and lighting);
- check that the power socket is clean;
- check that the electrical connectors are watertight and in good condition.
Tyres
1. Before carrying out any operations on the tyres, make sure that the machine is perfectly stable
and fit chocks to avoid accidental movements.
2. Wheels must only be fitted and removed for repair by persons specially trained to do so and using
the appropriate regulatory tools.
Servicing
1. The maintenance instructions provided below must be strictly followed to prolong the life of your
machine and ensure operator safety.
2. Before undertaking any action on the machine, switch off the tractor engine, remove the key from
the ignition, chock the wheels and uncouple the PTO shaft from the tractor once all moving parts
are at a complete standstill.
3. KUHN recommends that major maintenance and repair jobs be carried out by your dealer. KUHN
accepts no liability for mechanical failure or physical injury as a result of an operation carried out
by unqualified persons.
4. Repairs affecting components under tension or pressure (springs, pressure accumulators, etc.)
require adequate qualification and regulatory tools.
5. Never climb into or onto a machine whilst in operation. The machine must be laid on the ground or
propped up before any operation. Should any job require working on a raised machine, prop it up
with an appropriate support.
6. To avoid environmental contamination, it is forbidden to dump any type of used oil, grease or filters.
Dispose of them in specially provided containers.
7. Spare parts must comply with the standards and specifications laid down by the KUHN. Only use
KUHN spare parts.
8. Never attempt to access the turbine from over the feed rotor.
9. If maintenance work is required on the feed rotor, wear protective gloves and use appropriate
tools. If a cut or injury comes into contact with the products contained in the machine, disinfect
immediately in order to avoid the risk of infection.
10. Before carrying out any operations on the electric circuit, disconnect the power source.
11. Before carrying out any electric welding work on the tractor or towed machine, disconnect the
cables from the alternator and battery. Place the ground as near as possible to the part to be
welded.
