Safety
The following applies to all servicing work:
Observe safety instructions
Observe the safety instructions for the performance of all work. Any
disregard for safety instructions can lead to serious or fatal injuries to
persons.
Prerequisites for maintenance work
Only perform the maintenance operations if you have the required ex-
pert knowledge and suitable tools. The absence of technical knowl-
edge or suitable tools can cause accidents and injuries.
Use
OEM (original equipment manufacturers) replacement parts
Many components have special characteristics which are essential for
the machine's stability and correct function. Only those replacement
parts and accessories supplied by the manufacturer have been tested
and approved. Using other products may lead to malfunctions or re-
duce safety of operation. The use of non-OEM replacement parts
renders the manufacturer's guarantee null and void and frees the
manufacturer from all liability.
Protect the device from inadvertently starting
The following conditions must be observed for carrying out repairs and
maintenance work and rectifying malfunctions on the coupled imple-
ment:
•
Switch off the tractor's PTO shaft.
•
Switch off the tractor engine.
•
Take out the ignition key.
Severe accidents can result if the device starts inadvertently.
Securing moving parts
Moving parts must be secured with lifting gear against sliding, folding
or swivelling. Personnel may be injured or the implement may be dam-
aged as a result.
Welding work
Before performing any welding work on the tractor or implement al-
ways disconnect the voltage supply to the electrical control unit. Dam-
age to the electronics cannot otherwise be excluded.
