1. Safety precautions
1.2.5.14
Aftertreatment system
The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system contains copper-
zeolite. Copper-zeolite is not classified as hazardous.
The SCR aftertreatment system is installed in the muffler. The system is not
hazardous to health under normal use and handling.
When the SCR aftertreatment system is handled in such a way that there is a risk
of exposure to dust, safety precautions must be taken. Such work includes, for
example, opening the aftertreatment system, machining and disposing of the
aftertreatment system.
Safety instructions for work involving the SCR aftertreatment system
•
Inhalation: If dust is inhaled, the affected person must be moved to fresh air.
If a considerable amount of dust has been inhaled, seek medical help.
•
Contact with eyes: Rinse eyes with water for 15 minutes and with eyelids
held open. If irritation continues, seek medical help.
•
Contact with skin: Wash with soap and water. Take off contaminated clothes.
•
Swallowing: If you swallow a large amount, rinse mouth and then drink plenty
of water.
Environmental hazards
Copper/zeolite is not acutely harmful to aquatic organisms. The product has not
been tested.
Precautions to protect the environment
All dust and spillage must be gathered in a container for recycling or disposal in
accordance with local regulations. Used catalysts may have different hazardous
properties than the original products.
When an SCR aftertreatment system is no longer used, it must be disposed of in
accordance with applicable EU regulations, national regulations or local
regulations.

Working with the front loader
•
Ensure that no one is in the working area when you are working with the front
loader.
•
Lower the front loader to the down position before leaving the tractor.
Objects may fall off the front loader, either to the sides of the tractor or down
the length of the loader arms and on the cabin.
•
Use ballast weight at the back if the load is particularly heavy and if you have
to drive on a slope.
•
Avoid sudden stops, starts and turns.
•
Observe any special instructions issued by the loader manufacturer.
WARNING: The risk of overturning increases as the loader is
raised. Be extra careful on slopes when operating the loader.
Always carry the load as low as practical for the conditions.
