2.7 Attached devices
Exercise especial caution when coupling and uncoupling the cornheader to or from the forage
harvester / combine harvester.
The cornheader may only be attached to the type of forage harvester / combine harvester intend-
ed for the purpose.
Work on the cornheader may only be performed with the motor switched off and the ignition key
removed. All control levers should be in the neutral position and none of the hydraulic lines
should be pressurized.
Never work under an raised cornheader.
The cornheader may only be driven on public highways and paths with the transport trailer in-
tended for the purpose.
The cornheader must always be placed into the transport position for transport on public high-
ways and paths. Apply protective sheets with flashing lights and front guards onto the cornhead-
er; connect the illumination. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning work and troubleshooting may
only be performed after the drive and motor have been switched off and the ignition key has been
removed.
Liquids emerging under pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries
which are not visible from outside. Consult a hospital immediately after injuries. Danger of infec-
tion
Dispose of used operating resources such as old oil in the correct fashion.
The repairs of the hydraulic installation can only be performed by specialist workshops.
2.8 Drive shaft
Only the drive shaft prescribed by the manufacturer may be used.
The protective piping, guard cone and power take-off guard - also on the device side - must be fit-
ted and in good condition.
Ensure the prescribed pipe coverings for the drive shaft are used in the transport and
Work position.
Only install and dismantle the drive shaft with the power take-off shaft and with the motor
switched off and the ignition key removed.
When using a drive shaft with an overload or freewheel coupling which is not covered by the safe-
ty equipment on the tractor, the overload or freewheel couplings are to be installed on the device
side.
Always ensure the correct installation and securing of the drive shaft.
Secure the drive shaft guard by securing the chain against running.
Before activating the power take-off shaft, ensure that the rotation speed of the power take-off
shaft of the
forage harvester / combine harvester matches the rotation speed of the device.
Before activating the power take-off shaft, ensure that no-one is in the danger area of the
device.
Never activate the power take-off shaft when the motor is deactivated.
No-one may be permitted to remain in the area of the turning power take-off shaft or drive shaft
when working on the power take-off shaft
.
Always deactivate the power take-off shaft when too great a level of angular offset means that it
is not required.
Caution! Danger from running flywheel mass once the power take-off shaft has been switched off.
Do not enter the device during this time. Work may only performed on the machine once it is at a
complete standstill.
Cleaning, lubrication or setting power take-off shaft driven devices or the drive shaft may only be
performed with the power take-off shaft and motor deactivated and the ignition key removed.
Place uncoupled drive shafts in the bracket intended for this task.
After removing the drive shaft, place on the protection cover on the power take-off stub.
Rectify any damage immediately before continuing work with the device.
Please note
Follow the information of the manufacturer of the drive shaft.
(Separate operating instructions).
2.9 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is pressurized.
When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors, ensure that you connect the hydraulic hydraulic
hoses in the correct fashion.
