General Safety Instructions
Please read all of the safety instructions before commencing use of the implement.
Before carrying out mechanical repairs and adjustments
1.
Stop the tractor engine and apply the handbrake
2.
Turn off the hydraulic supply.
3.
If carrying out mechanical repairs or adjustments of the implement, shut down the Robocrop computer
system and switch off the power via the rocker switch on the side of the console.
4.
If the hydraulic system includes accumulators which store hydraulic pressure even when the tractor
supply is turned off, ensure the system is depressurised and allow oil to return to the tractor by
positioning the hydraulic lever in the float position. There are two pressure gauges on the hydraulic
system at the front of the implement, ensure they both read zero before carrying out repairs or
adjustments.
5.
If the implement has an electric power pack, switch the isolator to the off position.
6.
If possible lower the implement to the ground before working on it.
7.
Never work under a raised implement unless it is supported by suitable jack stands.
8.
Be aware of potential trap and shear points on the unit parallel linkages, the freeshift and the disc steer
units with self levelling, and do not put yourself at risk.
While changing settings on the computer the operator should ensure other persons do not try to make repairs
or adjustments to the implement and keep other persons well clear of the implement.
Never conduct maintenance work on the side shift or disk steering mechanisms while they are supporting the
weight of the implement.
Regularly check the condition of electric cables, hydraulic hoses and fittings and tightness of nuts and bolts etc.
If the hydraulic supply manifold is fitted with a hydraulic accumulator. Discharge the accumulator before
disconnecting the implement from the tractor.
