Safety
Uncoupling the
machine
Increased risk of injury
There is an increased risk of injury when uncoupling the
machine from the tractor. Therefore:
•
Secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll forwards or back-
wards
•
Never stand between the tractor and the machine during uncou-
pling
•
Actuate the three-point power lift system slowly and carefully
•
Make sure the machine is standing on a secure and level surface
•
Only disconnect the hydraulic hoses if there is no pressure in the
tractor and machine hydraulic system
Nonobservance can lead to serious or fatal injury.
Care and mainte-
nance
Follow the care and maintenance chart
Observe prescribed intervals for maintenance checks and inspections
specified in the operating manual. Nonobservance of the time periods
can lead to damage to the machine, poor quality of work or accidents.
Only use OEM replacement parts (original equipment manufac-
turers)
Many components have special characteristics which are essential for
the machine's stability and correct function. Only accessories and
spare parts supplied by the manufacturer have been tested and ap-
proved. Using other products may lead to malfunctions or impair safe-
ty. The use of non-OEM spare parts renders the manufacturer's gua-
rantee null and void and frees the manufacturer from all liability.
When performing care and maintenance work:
•
Switch off the tractor's power take-off shaft
•
Depressurise the hydraulic system
•
Whenever possible, uncouple the tractor
•
Make sure the machine is standing securely. Provide additional
support as required
•
Do not use parts of the machine as climbing aids; use only special
and safe means of ascent
•
Secure the tractor so that it cannot roll forwards or backwards
•
Never reach into the V-belt while it is moving
It is only possible to guarantee work safety during care or mainte-
nance work through observing these regulations.
Turn off the electrical supply
Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, disconnect it from
the power supply. Equipment under electrical power can cause dama-
ge to equipment and injury to persons.
