Damage to the machine
Damage to the machine can impair the op-
erational safety of the machine and cause ac-
cidents. This can lead to severe or even fatal
physical injuries.
The following machine parts are particularly
important for safety:
Hydraulic system
¾
Brakes (as far as available)
¾
Connecting features
¾
Protective features
¾
Lighting
¾
If in doubt about the safety relevant status of the
machine, e.g. in case of leaking out operating
fluids, visible damage or unexpected changes
in travel behaviour:
Immediately shut down and secure the machine.
¾
If possible locate and rectify the faults by fol-
¾
lowing these operating instructions.
Rectify possible causes for damage (e.g. re-
¾
move coarse dirt and tighten loose screws).
Have damage, that could affect safety and
¾
that cannot be rectified by yourself, rectified
by a qualified expert workshop.
Hitching and unhitching
Faulty hitching up of the machine to the pulling
tool of the tractor causes dangers, whic´h could
result in severe accidents.
Strictly comply with all operating instructions:
¾
These operating instructions (chapter "Hitch-
•
ing up and transport position" and "Parking")
Operating instructions of the tractor
•
Take special care when reversing the tractor.
¾
Never stand between tractor and machine.
Only park the machine on a firm and level
¾
surface. Before unhitching the machine, lower
it to the ground.
Secure the machine against rolling away.
¾
Hydraulic system
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.
Do not connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor,
¾
before both hydraulic systems on machine
and tractor are de-pressurised.
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
¾
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
Use only appropriate means when searching
¾
for leaks. Repair any damage immediately!
Oil sprays can cause injuries and fire!
Power sockets and connectors on the hydrau-
¾
lic connections should be marked in order to
exclude operating errors.
In the case of injury, contact a doctor imme-
¾
diately!
Secure and lock the control unit on the tractor,
¾
if not in use!
Replace hydraulic hoses at the latest after six
¾
years, see "Maintenance overview".
Pressure accumulator
The hydraulic system may be equipped with a
pressure accumulators.
Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on pres-
¾
sure accumulators. Even when empty, the ac-
cumulator is still preloaded by gas pressure.
The hydraulic system must be depressurized
before maintenance!
