Safety
The following applies to all servicing work:
Observe the safety information
Observe the safety information. Disregard for safety information
can lead to serious or fatal injury. See chapter »Safety«, page 6.
Requirements for maintenance work
Only perform the maintenance operations if you have the required
expert knowledge and suitable tools. The absence 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 tractor PTO shaft drive.
•
Switch off the tractor engine.
•
Remove the ignition key.
Serious accidents may be caused if the machine starts acciden-
tally.
Use OEM replacement parts
Many components have special properties that are essential 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 repla-
cement parts renders the manufacturer's guarantee null and void
and frees the manufacturer from all liability.
Secure moving parts
Moving parts must be secured with lifting gear against sliding, fol-
ding 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.
