Retrofits
Structural changes and extensions can adverse-
ly affect the functionality and the operational
safety of the machine. This can lead to severe
or even fatal physical injuries.
¾
Do not make any structural changes or exten-
sions to the machine taht lack the approval
of HORSCH.
¾
Structural changes and extensions must only
be made by a authorized expert workshop.
¾
Comply with country specific instructions fr
weights, weight distribution and dimensions.
For equipment influencing the weight or weight
distribution one must check and comply with the
regulations concerning towing facilities, support
and axle loads.
For machines without brakes a brake system
may need to be retrofitted, if the permissible
weight limits are exceeded.
In case of changes concerning data mentioned
on the type plate, a new type plate with updated
data must be attached.
Care and maintenance
Inappropriate care and maintenance puts the
operational safety of the machine at risk. This
can lead to accidents with severe or even fatal
physical injuries.
¾
Conform with prescribed schedules for repeti-
tive tests or inspections.
¾
Service the machine according to the
maintenance plan, see chapter "Care and
maintenance".
¾
Only perform the work described in these
operating instructions.
¾
Before starting maintenance and service work
park the machine on level and firm ground and
secure it against rolling away.
¾
De-pressurise the hydraulic system and lower
or support the implement.
¾
Prior to working on the electrical system,
disconnect it from the electric power supply.
¾
Before cleaning the machine with high pres
-
sure cleaning equipment cover all openings,
which should stay clear of water, steam or
cleaning agents for reasons of safety or op-
eration. Do not aim the water jet directly at
electrical or electronic components, bearings
or the fan.
¾
When cleaning with high pressure or steam
cleaning equipment keep a distance of at least
50 cm to machine components.
¾
After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for
leaks and loose connections.
¾
Check for chafing and signs of other damage.
Remedy any faults immediately!
¾
Screw connections loosened for the purpose
of maintenance and service work must be
retighten after work is completed.
¾
Any other maintenance and repair work
must only be carried out by an authorized

Do not clean new machine with a steam
jet of a high pressure cleaner. The paint
takes approx. 3 months to cure and
could thus be damaged if this time has
not yet expired.
