Danger areas

IMPORTANT
Dangers areas on the implement
The following basic dangers are encountered in the danger areas:
The implement and its work tools move during operation.
Hydraulically raised implement parts can descend unnoticed and slowly.
The machine can roll away unintentionally.
Materials or foreign objects can be ejected out of or away from the implement.
If the danger area is not observed, it can result in serious personal injury or death.
Keep people out of the danger area of the implement. In doing so, take account of drifting of the spray mist.

If people enter the danger area,

immediately switch off the engines and drives.

Before you work in the danger area of the implement,

secure the machine. This also applies for quick checking work.
IMPORTANT
Overhead power lines
When unfolding and folding or when folding and lifting out or raising the machine or machine parts during operation, the machine can reach the height of overhead power lines. This can cause voltage to jump over to the machine and cause lethal electrical shocks or fires. Large voltage differences develop on the ground surrounding the machine.
Before operation, carry out a risk assessment at the site by locating the overhead power lines in the area. Consider the risk assessment throughout the entire operation, particularly when controlling moving machine parts.
When unfolding and folding or when folding and raising or lifting out the machine or machine parts, maintain a sufficient distance from overhead power lines.
Never fold or unfold the machine parts close to overhead power line pylons and overhead power lines.
When the machine parts are unfolded, maintain a safe distance from overhead power lines.

If voltage has jumped over to the machine:

Stay in the cab.
Do not touch any metal parts.
Warn people to stay away from the machine.
Wait for help from a professional recue team.

If people must exit the cab despite the voltage flashover, e.g. due to direct lethal danger from fire:

Jump away from the machine into a stable position.
Do not touch the machine.
Move away from the machine with small steps.
