2.7.5 Overhead lines
What to do in case of
voltage flashover
2.7.6 Technical limiting values

When unfolding or folding in the wings, the machine may reach the height of over-
head lines. Possible voltage flashover to the machine may cause fatal electric shock
or fire.
Ø Keep a safe distance to electric high voltage power lines with the wings folded
and when unfolding or folding in the wings.
Ø Do not unfold or fold in the wings in the vicinity of pylons and power lines.
Ø Never leave or access the machine under overhead lines to avoid possible risks
of electric shock or voltage flashover.
Voltage flashover generates high electric voltages 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).
1. Do not leave the cabin.
2. Do not touch any metal objects.
3. Do not create a conductive connection to ground.
4. Warn persons: DO NOT come near the machine. Electric voltages at the
ground can cause severe electric shock.
5. Wait for professional rescuers. The overhead power line needs to be switched
off.
If persons need to leave the cabin despite the voltage flashover, e.g. in case of a po-
tential life-threatening risk of fire:
6. Jump away from the machine. Ensure a safe stand when jumping. Do not
touch the outside of the machine.
7. Move away from the machine with short stepping strides.
If the technical limiting values of the machine are not observed, 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
• Maximum speed
See chapter Technical data, Type plate and Type approval.
Ø Also pay attention to the maximum loads for the tractor.
