»Maintenance«,see page 52.
Use genuine parts
Only genuine parts are specially designed and thoroughly tested for
the use at this machine. Only genuine parts will guarantee the
reliability and safety of the machine. Other products can interrupt
functioning of the machine or make the machine unsafe. When using
non-genuine parts the warranty and liability of the manufacturer
reduces to nil and void.
Prevent the machine from inadvertent operating
Before carrying out maintenance and repair jobs always:
•
Unhitch the machine from the tractor if possible and prevent it from
sliding away.
Otherwise always:
•
Switch off the PTO.
•
Switch off the tractor hydraulics.
•
Switch off the electronic systems.
•
Switch off the tractor engine.
•
Remove the ignition key.
•
Make sure the tractor and machine are positioned on a firm and
level area, support and prevent them from rolling or sliding away.
In case of negligence material damages and serious injuries can
occur.
Switch off electrical supply
Prior to carry out jobs at electrical equipment, disconnect it from the
power supply. Equipment under electrical power can cause damage
to equipment and injury to persons.
Climbing aids
Use suitable climbing aids only, never use components of the machine
as a climbing aid.
Replace hydraulic hoses every six years
Hydraulic hoses can age without any visible indications, therefore
replace all hydraulic hoses every six years. Defective hydraulic hoses
can cause serious or fatal injuries.
Searching for hydraulic oil leaks
Never search for leaks by touching hydraulic hoses and hydraulic
connections, even when your hands are protected with a protective
skin cream or oil-resistant gloves.
Due to high pressure and very little holes in case of leakages, the
hydraulic oil will go through protection devices and your skin!
Hydraulic oil may come into your bloodstream, which is
lifethreatening!
