12 Maintenance and service
12.1 Safety
Maintenance and service work involves additional hazards that do not occur dur-
ing operation of the machine.
For this reason, any maintenance and repair work is to be conducted with in-
creased alertness at all times. Work particularly thoroughly and cautiously.
Observe the following instructions in particular:

Welding and work on the electrical and hydraulic systems is to be carried out
by qualified technicians only.

There is a risk of tipping when working at the lifted machine. Always secure
the machine using suitable supports.

Always use both eyebolts in the hopper for lifting the machine with hoisting
gear.

There is a risk of crushing and shearing at power-operated components
(adjustment lever, metering slide). Make sure that there is no one in close
proximity to the moving parts during maintenance.

Spare parts must at least comply with the technical standards specified by the
manufacturer. This is assured only with original spare parts.

Before starting any cleaning, maintenance, or repair work, and when trouble-
shooting, switch off the tractor's engine and wait until all moving parts of the
machine have come to a stop.

By controlling the machine with an operating unit, additional risks and haz-
ards due to externally operated components may arise.
-
Disconnect the power supply between the tractor and the machine.
- Disconnect the power supply cable from the battery.

ONLY an instructed and authorised workshop may carry out any repair work.
