Page: 55 / 110

Operation
This chapter provides all information for operation of the machine. For most work in
an agricultural area, the mode of working and the work results are under the influence
of many individual and different factors. The scope of this operating manual would be
exceeded if we have considered all conceivable situations (ground condition, potato
varieties, weather, individual growing conditions, etc.). This operating manual cannot
in any way serve as instructions for potato haulm topping or replace driver training for
driving on roads. Preconditions for operation of this machine and for optimum topping
results are, besides first use instructions offered by the manufacturer, solid basic agri-
cultural knowledge and some experience with growing potatoes and the associated
work processes. This chapter informs you about operating procedures and interrela-
tionships during machine operation. You will find an exact description of adjusting work
for the individual functional components in the respective chapters. The required main-
tenance work is described in chapter 7, "Maintenance and Services".
ADVICE
Obtain comprehensive information about the safety measures for operation of this
machine before each operation of the machine. Should any people be present, who
are not informed about the applicable hazard zones and safety distances, then inform
these people about safety distances and hazard zones. Indispensably inform these
people that you will immediately shut down the machine as soon as anyone unautho-
rised comes close to the hazard zones.
