Brake system
Depending on the equipment, the machines can
be equipped with a pneumatically or hydrauli-
cally operated service brake system.
For road travel the brake system must always
be connected and fully functional.
After hitching the machine and before trans-
¾
portation you should always check the func-
tion and condition of the brake system.
Check the setting on the brake pressure
¾
regulator.
Always release the parking brake before start-
¾
ing to drive.
Always secure the machine against rolling
¾
away and apply the parking brake before
unhitching.
Adjustments and repair work on the brake sys-
tem must only be carried out in a professional
workshop or by an operator, who has been
specially trained by HORSCH.
Overhead power lines
When unfolding or folding the wings, the ma-
chine may reach the height of overhead power
lines. Possible voltage flashover to the machine
causing fatal electric shock or fire.
Keep a safe distance to electric high voltage
¾
power lines with the folded up machine or when
unfolding or folding the machine.
Do not unfold or fold the wings in the vicinity
¾
of pylons and power lines.
Never leave or access the machine under
¾
overhead power lines to avoid possible risks
of electric shock or voltage flashover.
What to do in case of voltage flashover
Voltage flashover generates high electric volt-
ages on the outside of the machine. This results
in extreme voltage differences at the ground
around the machine. Wide strides, laying on the
ground or supporting yourself with your hands
on the ground can cause life-threatening electric
currents (pace voltage).
10
Do not leave the cabin.
¾
Do not touch any metal objects.
¾
Do not create a conductive connection to
¾
ground.
Warn persons: DO NOT come near the ma-
¾
chine. Electric voltages at the ground can
cause severe electric shock.
Wait for professional rescuers. The overhead
¾
power line needs to be switched off.
If persons need to leave the cabin despite the
voltage flashover, e.g. in case of a potential life-
threatening risk of fire:
Jump away from the machine. Ensure a safe
¾
stand when jumping. Do not touch the outside
of the machine.
Move away from the machine with short step-
¾
ping strides.
Technical limiting values
If the technical limiting values of the machine
are not complied with, the machine may get
damaged. This can lead to accidents with severe
or even fatal physical injuries.
The following technical limiting values are of
particular importance for safety:
• permissible total weight
• maximum axle loads
• maximum drawbar load
• top speed
See chapter "Technical data", type plate and
type approval.
Also pay attention to the max. permitted loads
¾
for the tractor.
