6.2.1 Working in the vicinity of power lines
DANGER
Hazard to life due to electrical current!
Due to the dimensions of the machine, the landscape and the construction of power
lines, the prescribed safety distance may be violated when working in the vicinity
of or under power lines. This causes the greatest hazard to life for the driver and
bystanders.
– When working in the vicinity of power lines, indispensably comply with the applica-
ble minimum distances. These minimum distances between the outside edge of the
machine and the power line may amount to up to 8.5m. The size of this minimum
distance always depends on the voltage of the power line. The greater the voltage,
the greater the prescribed minimum distance. Obtain information from the power
company responsible about the technical situation in due time before starting har-
vesting work. In case of need, agree on temporary shutdown of the power line for
the time, during which you are performing harvesting work.
– Strictly abide with the agreements made between the power company and you
about possible shutdown of power. Only begin your work after you have ensured
yourself that shutdown has actually happened, for instance by calling the power
company and enquiring about this.
– Especially when performing work at night or in vision-impairing weather, inform
yourself exactly about the routing of power lines. In case of need, have warning
or safety marshals set up, which will warn you using suitable signalling equipment
(visible or audible indications) about hazardous proximity to power lines.
– While lifting, make sure that you do not violate the prescribed minimum distances.
– When installing antennas or other auxiliary devices, always make sure that the total
height of the machine in no case exceeds a dimension of 4m.
Well memorize the following behavioural rules when you are working in the vicinity of
power lines. Exact compliance with these rules may save your life.
6.2.2 Behaviour during or after contact to the power lines
– Try to break the contact with the electric power line immediately by reversing,
swinging away or lowering.
– Stay seated in the driver’s seat – no matter what happens around you!
– Do not walk around in the driver's cabin.
– In case of electrical shock or after contact to a power line, in no case leave the dri-
ver‘s cabin. There is extreme hazard to life outside of the driver's cabin.
– Wait until help arrives.
– In no case use a cell phone or a radio connected to an external antenna.
– Warn any people approaching the machine of the danger with hand signals and
loud shouting.
– Only leave the driver‘s cabin after you have been instructed to do so by rescue per-
sonnel.
6.3 R-Concept
The R-Touch is the information and command centre of the machine. This is where
you monitor the overall machine, obtain information about operating status and perfor-
mance data and make settings for parts of the machine.
Before operating, you should indispensably familiarize yourself with the R-Touch and
the different warning and status indicators to be able to use the machine safely and
effectively.
