Accident prevention
In addition to the operating instructions, it is
important to observe the accident prevention
regulations specified by agricultural trade as-
sociations!
Hitching up / unhitching
There is risk of injury to persons when hitching
up / unhitching the machine to the drawbar of
the tractor.
Secure the machine against rolling away.
Take special care when reversing the tractor.
Never stand between tractor and machine.
Only park the machine on a firm and level
surface. Lower the towed machine to the
ground before unhitching, as otherwise the
seed wagon could hit up at the front when
unhitching.
Hydraulic connections
Do not connect hydraulic lines to the tractor,
before both hydraulic systems (machine and
tractor) are de-pressurised.
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
Only use appropriate aids when checking for
leaks. Repair any damage immediately! Oil
sprays can cause injuries and fire!
In case of an injury, contact a doctor imme-
diately!
Power sockets and connectors on the hy-
draulic connections between the tractor and
machine should be colour-coded in order to
exclude operating errors.
Operational safety
The machine must only be put into operation
after receiving instructions by employees of the
authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee. The
machine registration form has to be completed
and returned to HORSCH.
All protective features and safety equipment,
such as detachable protective devices, must be
correctly in place and reliably functioning before
the machine is put into operation.
Check and tighten nuts and screws at regular
intervals.
Check tyre pressure regularly.
In case of malfunctions stop and secure the
machine immediately!
Road traffic safety
The valid road traffic regulations are to be ob-
served when travelling on public roads, paths
and areas.
Do not exceed the max. permissible widths
and attach light system, warning and protective
devices.
Also observe transport height depending on
the coupled machine! If necessary, lower the
machine as far as possible.
Pay particular attention to bridges and
low suspended power lines!
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tyre
carrying capacities and total weights, in order
to ensure sufficient steering and braking capa-
bilities. Handling is affected by the implement
connected. It is important to take into account
the large overhang and the centrifugal mass of
the implement, particularly when cornering.
Passengers are strictly forbidden to ride on the
machine!
Travel at a maximum speed of 25 km/h for
travel on public roads.
