Danger sources on the implement
IMPORTANT
Fluids under pressure
Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate into the body through the skin and cause serious injuries. Even a hole the size of a needle prick can result in serious injuries.
Before uncoupling hydraulic hose lines or check for damage,
depressurize the hydraulic system.If you suspect that a pressure system is damaged,
have the pressure system checked by a qualified specialist workshop.Never search for leaks with your bare hand.
Keep your body and face away from leaks.
If liquids penetrate into the body,
seek medical attention immediately.IMPORTANT
Hydraulic accumulator
Hydraulic accumulators contain gas under pressure. There is a risk of explosion if they are not handled properly.
Do not make any modifications on hydraulic accumulators.
Have hydraulic accumulators checked and serviced as specified in the operating manual.
IMPORTANT
Risk of injury on the universal joint shaft and the PTO shaft
Persons can be caught, pulled in, and severely injured by the universal joint shaft, the PTO shaft, and the driven components. If the universal joint shaft is overloaded, the implement can be damaged, parts can be ejected at high speed, and persons can be injured.
Ensure that the implement-side protective device and the universal joint shaft guard are functional.
Ensure that the profile tube, universal joint shaft guard, and PTO shaft protective cap are sufficiently covered.
To prevent the universal joint shaft guard from rotating:
Hook in the safety chains.Let the universal joint shaft locks engage.
Ensure correct direction of rotation and permissible speed of the universal joint shaft.
If the universal joint shaft is angled downward excessively:
Switch off the universal joint shaft drive.To prevent implement damage due to torque peaks:
Slowly couple the PTO shaft at low tractor engine speed.If you do not need the universal joint shaft:
Switch off the universal joint shaft drive.IMPORTANT
Danger due to implement parts that keep moving for a time after switch-off
After switching off the drives, implement parts can keep moving for a time and cause serious or fatal injury.
Wait until implement parts that are still moving have come to a complete standstill, before approaching the implement.
Do not touch implement parts until after they have come to a complete standstill.
