Technical limiting values
If the technical limiting values of the machine are
not observed, the machine may get damaged.
This can lead to accidents with severe or even
fatal physical injuries.
The following technical limiting values are of
particular importance for safety:
• permissible total weight
• maximum axle loads
• maximum drawbar load
• top speed
See chapter
Technical data
, type plate and type
approval.
¾
Also pay attention to the max. permitted loads
for the tractor.
Use in the field
DANGER
No passengers are allowed to ride on the
machine!
¾
Check the area immediately around the ma-
chine (for children!) before driving off and
commissioning the machine. Ensure sufficient
visibility.
¾
Check the condition of the cultivation tools
and their mounting before use.
¾
Ensure sufficient stability of the machine in
case of longitudinal or transverse inclination
when working in uneven terrain. Pay attention
to the limiting values for the tractor.
¾
Do not remove any of the mandatory and
supplied protective devices.
¾
Stay clear of the operating range of hydrauli-
cally operated parts.
¾
Do not drive backwards with the machine
lowered. The components have only been
designed for forward travel in the field and
may be damaged when reversing.
Changing equipment / wear items
¾
Only pulling tools may be attached that meet
the technical requirements according to these
operating instructions.
HORSCH does not assume any liability for
damages resulting from the attachment of
non-fitting pulling tools as well as incorrect
mounting.
¾
For machines with valid type approval only
pulling tools may be attached that are covered
by the type approval. Attaching pulling tools
not covered by the type approval will void the
registration.
¾
Secure the machine against unintended roll-
ing away!
¾
Secure raised frame parts you have to work
under with suitable supports!
¾
Caution! Danger of injury caused by projecting
parts (e.g. coulters)!
¾
Assume ergonomic working postures with any
assembly work.
Do not use the packer tyres or other rotating
parts to climb on the machine. These could
rotate and you could be seriously injured by
falling down.
Fertiliser and dressed
seed
Inappropriate handling of fertiliser and dressed
seed can cause poisoning and death.
¾
Follow the information given in the safety data
sheet of the manufacturer. If necessary, ask
the dealer for the safety data sheet or safety
notes.
