Only work on the implement after it has come to a complete standstill
If the implement is not at standstill, parts can move unintentionally or the implement can be set in motion. This can result in severe or fatal injuries.
If you must work on or under raised loads:
Lower the loads or secure raised implement parts with a hydraulic device or mechanical locking device.
Switch off all drives.
Apply the parking brake.
Particularly on slopes, in addition, use wheel chocks to prevent the implement from rolling.
Remove the ignition key and keep it with you.
Wait until all parts still in motion after the unit is switched off, have come to a stop and until hot parts have cooled down.
Keep away from moving parts.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance tasks
Improper maintenance tasks, particularly on safety-related components, compromise operational safety. This can result in accidents and persons can be severely injured or killed. For example, safety-related components include hydraulic components, electronic components, frames, springs, trailer coupling, axles and axle suspensions, lines and tanks containing flammable substances.
Before adjusting, maintaining or cleaning the implement,
secure the implement.
Maintain the implement as specified in this operating manual.
Only perform the tasks that are described in this operating manual.
Have maintenance tasks that are indicated as WORKSHOP TASK performed in a specialist workshop that is adequately equipped in terms of agricultural engineering, environmental engineering, and technical safety, by qualified personnel with the appropriate training.
Never perform welding, drilling, sawing, grinding, and cutting tasks on the frame, running gear or coupling devices of the implement.
Never modify safety-related components.
Never drill out existing holes.
Perform all maintenance tasks at the prescribed maintenance intervals.
IMPORTANT
Raised implement parts
Raised implement parts can lower unintentionally and crush or kill people.
Never position yourself under raised implement parts.
If you must perform tasks on or under raised implement parts,
lower the implement parts or secure the raised implement parts with a mechanical support or hydraulic locking device.
IMPORTANT
Danger due to welding tasks
Improper welding tasks, particularly on or close to safety-related components, compromise the operational safety of the implement. This can result in accidents and persons can be severely injured or killed. Safety-related components include, hydraulic components and electronic components, frames, springs, coupling devices to the tractor such as the three-point mounting frame, drawbars, trailer support, trailer coupling or tensioned crosspiece as well as axles and axle suspensions, lines, and tanks containing flammable substances.
Only have qualified specialist workshops with appropriately approved personnel perform welding tasks on safety-related components.
Only have qualified personnel perform welding tasks on all other components.
If in doubt as to whether welding tasks can be performed on a component:
Ask a qualified specialist workshop.
Before welding on the implement:
Uncouple the implement from the tractor.
Do not weld in the vicinity of a field sprayer that was previously used to spread liquid fertilizer.
