OPERATION
Before you start work, ensure there is nobody behind the discharge of the forage
harvester due to the danger of being hit by metal parts from damaged blades.
You should also make sure that there are no persons in the trailer used for pick-up.
There is a danger of suffocating in the flow of material or being hit by metal parts in
the discharge.
If the feed rollers or the blade cylinder are blocked, disengage the clutches and stop
the tractor engine immediately. Activate the parking brake and wait until the rotating
parts have stopped before attempting to remove the material or foreign object.
WARNING:
Never allow anyone to stand near the forage harvester while it is operating,
particularly children who are unaware of the danger and may behave unpredictably.
The chute may be more than 4 m high. Be aware of high-voltage lines. Keep a safe
distance from high voltage lines.
PARKING
The supporting leg must always be correctly fixed before the machine is parked,
otherwise the machine may tip over during parking. You should also remember to
place chocks under the wheels of the machine if there is a risk that the machine will
move after parking.
Remember to disconnect the hydraulic hoses and control box before driving away
with the tractor.
LUBRICATION
Never allow more than one person at a time to work on the machine when lubricating
or undertaking maintenance work. This reduces the risk of you getting your fingers
caught because another person turns rotating parts by accident while you are still
working with these parts.
Never attempt to clean, lubricate or adjust the machine until the PTO shaft has been
uncoupled, the tractor engine has stopped and the parking brake has been activated.
Remove the ignition key and wait until all moving parts have stopped!

1. INTRODUCTION
The following cannot be said often enough: Never remove a material
blockage while the machine is running or feed material into the pick-
up using your hands or feet, as there is a serious risk of becoming
caught and pulled into the forage harvester, which could result in
dismemberment or death.
