Safety instructions
•
Before starting to use a machine equipped with the Agrocont system,
familiarise yourself carefully with this manual and, by using the manual, with
the control system as well.
•
In order to minimise safety risks, ensure that all the users of a machine
equipped with this control system or persons otherwise involved with the
machine are thoroughly familiar with the contents of this manual and with the
system itself.
•
Ensure that the Agrocont system is only used by authorised personnel. You
should be especially careful to ensure that those not permitted to use the
system, such as passengers, do not touch the control unit in the cab while you
are in the machine’s danger zone.
•
Special care must be taken during the deployment of the system. Practise
using the system only in places where doing so will not jeopardise the safety
of others or yourself. For example, Make sure that there is enough space for
the markers to move.
•
Go through all the functions of the system when practising how to use the
system. Pay special attention to learning how to fluently adjust the controls
while driving.
•
The number of hydraulic functions controlled by the system depends on the
basic machine. You must never go under a machine, marker etc. when it is
hydraulically raised. If it is necessary to go under such a machine or object,
the machine or object must first be supported firmly with mechanical brackets!
•
Note that controlling hydraulic and electric functions with the monitor in the
cab may cause sudden movements of the seeder’s structures. Make sure that
the danger zone is clear of people and any property that may be damaged.
•
When parking a tractor and a piece of working equipment equipped with the
system, lock the tractor, so that unauthorised persons cannot access the system
or change its settings. When parking, you must comply with all the safety
instructions for the seeder fertilizer or seeder.
•
Keep the wires, connectors and other system equipment in faultless condition
at all times. Should any damages or malfunctions occur, these must be
inspected and fixed immediately. Operating a faulty machine may be
unpredictable and hazardous!
•
The services of an authorised Tume service agent or a contractor authorised by
an authorised Tume service agent should be employed when updating the
software and performing maintenance and repairs. Use only original Tume
spare parts.
•
Do not make any alterations to the control system or its programs without
written approval from Tume-Agri Oy.
