This symbol is used to identify special instructions or procedures which, if not followed strictly, could result in machinery damage.
Page 13: Safety Instructions
Never let anyone operate the machine who is not trained to do so. Should you have any difficulties in understanding certain parts in this manual, please contact your KUHN dealer. Precautions to be taken before carrying out any operations on the machine...
Page 14 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Precautions to take before using the machine Ensure that all operating controls (ropes, cables, rods, etc) are placed so as they cannot be operated unintentionally and cause damage or injury. Prior to each machine use, check tightness of bolts and nuts, in particular those securing the tools (booms, wheels...).
Page 15 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Maximum speed Always keep to the legal speed limit for driving a tractor- machine assembly on public roads. Precautions when driving on public roads Always obey current regulations for driving on roads Dimensions Depending on the dimensions of the machine, contact the relevant authorities to ensure that it can be legally transported on public roads.
Page 16 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Gross weight and weight per axle The drawings are not legally binding, their only aim is to illustrate the method to use. Prior to driving on public roads, check that criteria are met to be in conformity with the countrie's regulations: - When coupling a tool to the front and rear 3-point lift linkage, the maximum authorized payload must not be exceeded.
Page 17 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Stage 1: To measure: - Tractor tare (T). Stage 2: - Couple the machine to the tractor. To measure: - Load on front axle (t1): • Tractor + machine (transport position). To do: - If the front axle load (t1) is below 20% of the tractor tare (T), add ballast weights (M1) to exceed the minimum load on the front axle.
Page 18 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Stage 3: To measure: - Total weight (t): • Tractor + machine (transport position). • Ballast weights. Checking: - To go to the next stage: • Check in the tractor's operator's manual that the value measured is below the tractor's Gross Combined Weight Rating.
Page 19 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Precautions when coupling Prior to coupling the machine, check that it can't move unexpectedly (place wedges underneath the wheels or lock handbrake) and that the parking stand is the the adequate position. Never stand between the tractor and the machine when operating the three point linkage.
Page 20 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS PTO shaft Use only PTO shafts supplied with the machine or recommended by the manufacturer. The protective shield of the tractor PTO stub, the PTO shaft guards and the protective covering of the machine input shaft must always be in place and in good condition.
Page 21 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Precautions during manoeuvres When moving the machine from the transport position to the working position and vice versa, make sure that nobody is within the machine pivoting area. Remote controlled components Danger of crushing and shearing can exist when components are operated by hydraulic or pneumatic controls.
Page 22 OMNIS Hydraulically controlled components For machines fitted with a solenoid valve block assembly, maintenance or repair on the hydraulic block with emergency controls must be carried out by a KUHN technician. Hydro-pneumatic accumulator A hydro-pneumatic accumulator contains nitrogen under pressure (risk of suffocation in closed rooms).

Page 24 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Boom handling Prior to handling the booms, check that overhead power lines are at a safe distance. If the machine comes into contact with a power line: - Immediately stop the tractor, turn off the engine and apply park brake.
Page 25 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Phytosanitary products Keep phytosanitary products away from children. During use of phytosanitary products, do not smoke or eat. Keep water taps and machine control components clean, wash hands prior to handling them in conformity with rules and regulations. Do not clean inputs, nozzles, hoses or any other small parts by blowing with your mouth.
Page 26 Mounted field sprayers OMNIS Body protection Do not wear loose clothing which could become caught up in moving parts. Wear waterproof clothing whenever there is a risk of splashing from or contact with crop protection products, even in diluted form. Wear specific protective clothing (suit, gloves, boots, glasses, mask) when handling phytosanitary products).
