2.16.3 Electrical
system
When working on the electrical system, always disconnect the
battery (negative terminal).
Only use the prescribed fuses. If fuses are used with too high a
rating, the electrical system will be destroyed – danger of fire.
Ensure that the battery is connected correctly - firstly connect the
positive terminal and then connect the negative terminal. When
disconnecting the battery, disconnect the negative terminal first,
followed by the positive terminal.
Always place the appropriate cover over the positive battery
terminal. Contact with earth may cause an explosion
Risk of explosion: avoid the production of sparks or the presence
of naked flames in the vicinity of the battery.
The machine can be equipped with electronic components, the
function of which may be influenced by electromagnetic
interference from other units. Such interference can pose risks to
people, if the following safety information is not followed.
In the case of retrofitting of electrical units and/or
components on the machine, with a connection to the on-
board power supply, the user must check whether the
installation might cause faults on the vehicle electronics or
other components.
Ensure that the retrofitted electrical and electronic
components comply with the EMC directive 89/336/EEC in
the appropriate version and carry the CE mark.
2.16.4 Attached
machines
Comply with the approved combination options for the
attachment equipment on the tractor and the machine drawbar.
Only couple approved combinations of vehicles (tractor and
attached machine).
In the case of single axle machines, observe the maximum
permitted drawbar load of the tractor on the attachment
equipment.
Ensure that the tractor has sufficient steering and braking power.
Machines connected to a tractor can influence your driving
behaviour, as well as the steering and braking power of the
tractor, in particular in the case of single axle machines with the
drawbar load on the tractor.
Only a specialist workshop may adjust the height of the drawbar
on yoke bars with a drawbar load.
