Specific safety warnings
4.1 Hydraulic safety warnings
The maximum pressure in the hydraulic system of this machine should not
exceed 210 bar.
Always ensure the system is not under pressure before working on the
machine. Oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause injury. Beware
of pipes under accumulator pressure, depressurise lines by unthreading
connections extremely slowly.
Hydraulically actuated devices must be blocked mechanically against
movement, before working on the machine.
If any hoses are removed or replaced ensure they are marked and re-installed
to the correct position during re-assembly.
Check hoses monthly for signs of leakage or wear. Use a piece of card when
checking for leaks. Fine jets of hydraulic fluid can penetrate the skin. Never
use your fingers or face to check for leaks. If in doubt always replace. The
recommended maximum working time of hoses should not exceed 5 years.

4.2 Noise level
The European directive 2003/10/EC directs employers and employees to
control the noise level at work. The noise level at field work may differ
according to the tractor, ground, crops and other environmental conditions.
In normal conditions, whilst driving the machine, the noise level to the driver’s
ear does not exceed 70 dB (A) with the rear screen of the tractor cabin open.
The common noise level of the machine and the tractor is primarily influenced
by the tractor noise (radio is an additional noise source). It is recommended to
operate this machine with closed cabin windows.
