Only work on the machine when it is at a standstill
If the machine is not standing still, part can move unintentionally or the machine can be set in motion. This can result in serious injury or death.
If you have to work on or under raised loads:
Lower the loads or secure the loads with a hydraulic or mechanical locking device.
Switch off all drives.
Actuate the parking brake.
Particularly on slopes, additionally secure the machine against rolling away with wheel chocks.
Remove the ignition key and carry it with you.
Wait until all parts that are still running come to a stop and until hot parts cool down.
Do not stand on moving parts.
IMPORTANT
Maintenance work
Improper maintenance work, particularly on safety-related components, endangers operational safety. This can result in accidents and serious personal injury or even death. Safety-related components include, for example, hydraulic components, electronic components, frames, springs, trailer coupling, axles and axle suspensions, lines and tanks containing flammable substances.
Before you adjust, maintain or clean the machine:
Secure the machine.
Repair the machine according to this operating manual.
Only perform the work that is described in this operating manual.
Have maintenance work that is labelled as WORKSHOP WORK performed at a workshop that is adequately equipped in terms of agricultural technology, safety and environmental technology by specialist personnel with appropriate training.
Never perform welding, drilling, sawing, grinding, and cutting work on the frame, running gear or coupling devices of the machine.
Never modify safety-related components.
Never drill out existing holes.
Perform all maintenance work at the prescribed maintenance intervals.
Before maintenance work, clean all parts that may have been in contact with spray liquid.
Never climb into the spray liquid tank.
IMPORTANT
Raised machine parts
Raised machine parts can descend unintentionally and crush or kill people.
Never linger under raised machine parts.
If you have to work on or under raised machine parts:
Lower the machine parts or secure the raised machine parts with a mechanical support or hydraulic locking device.
IMPORTANT
Danger due to welding work
Improper welding work, particularly on or close to safety-related components, endangers the operational safety of the machine. This can result in accidents and serious personal injury or even death. Safety-relevant components include, for example, hydraulic components and electronic components, frames, springs, and also axles and axle suspension elements, lines and tanks containing flammable substances.
Allow only qualified specialist workshops with suitably approved personnel to perform welding work on safety-related components.
Only allow qualified personnel to perform welding work on all other components.
If you have doubts as to whether a component can be welded:
Ask a qualified specialist workshop.
Prepare for welding work as specified in the section "Preparing for welding work", Preparing for welding work.
Do not weld close to a field sprayer that was previously used to spread liquid fertiliser.
Do not weld on parts of the refrigerant circuit or in their immediate vicinity.
