Safety on the machine
In addition to the operating instructions, it is
important to observe the accident prevention
regulations specified by agricultural trade as
-
sociations!
Hitching / un-hitching
There is risk of injury to persons when hitching / un-
hitching the machine to the drawbar of the tractor.
¾
Secure the machine against rolling away.
¾
Take special care when reversing the tractor.
Never stand between tractor and machine.
¾
Only park the machine on a firm and level
surface. Before unhitching the machine, lower
it to the ground.
Hydraulic connections
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can pen-
etrate the skin and cause serious injuries. In the
event of injury, consult a doctor immediately.
The machine's hydraulic system has several
functions, which can cause injury to persons or
damage to the machine, if operated incorrectly.
¾
Do not connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor,
before both hydraulic systems (machine and
tractor) are de-pressurised.
¾
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
¾
Only use appropriate aids when checking for
leaks. Repair any damage immediately!
Oil sprays can cause injuries and fire!
¾
In the case of injury, contact a doctor
immediately!
¾
Power sockets and connectors on the hydrau-
lic connections should be marked in order to
exclude operating errors.
The control unit on the tractor must
be secured or locked when not in use
or when the machine is in transport
position, in order to prevent accidents
caused by unintended hydraulic move-
ments or movements caused by per-
sons other than the operator (children,
passengers).
Pressure accumulator
The hydraulic system is equipped with a pres-
sure accumulators.
Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on pres-
sure accumulators. Even when empty, the ac-
cumulator is still preloaded by gas pressure.
Always de-pressurize the pressure accumulator
before starting work on the hydraulic system.
The pressure gauge should not indicate any
pressure.The pressure gauge reading should
drop to 0 bar. Only then may work be carried
out on the hydraulic system.
