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
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
Only authorized modifications
Structural modifications or extensions can impair the functionality and operational safety of the implement. This can result in severe or fatal injuries.
Have structural modifications or extensions performed only by a qualified specialist workshop and in consultation with AMAZONE.
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.
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
Damage due to the wrong operating temperature and storage temperature
If the operating temperature and storage temperature are not complied with, this can damage the control computer or control terminal, which in turn results in malfunctions and dangerous situations.
Only operate the control computer or control terminal at temperatures from -20°C to +65°C.
Only store the control computer or control terminal at temperatures from -30°C to +80°C.
IMPORTANT
Damage due to short circuit
When repair tasks are performed on the tractor or on a towed or mounted implement, there is a risk of short circuit.
Before performing adjustment tasks or maintenance tasks:
Disconnect all connections between the control terminal or control computer and the tractor.
IMPORTANT
Damage due to overvoltage
If welding tasks are performed on the tractor or on a towed or mounted implement, the control computer or control terminal can be damaged by overvoltage.
Before welding:
Disconnect all connections between the control terminal or control computer and the tractor.
IMPORTANT
Damage due to improper cleaning
Only use a damp, soft cloth to clean the control computer or control terminal.
IMPORTANT
Special equipment, accessories, and spare parts
Special equipment, accessories, and spare parts that do not meet AMAZONE requirements can impair the operational reliability of the implement and cause accidents.
Only use original parts or parts that meet the AMAZONE requirements.
If you have any questions regarding special equipment, accessories or spare parts,
contact your AMAZONE dealer or AMAZONE.
IMPORTANT
Unsuitable operating materials
Operating materials that do not meet the AMAZONE requirements can cause implement damage and accidents.
Only use operating materials that meet the requirements specified in the Technical data.
IMPORTANT
Unauthorized changes and unauthorized use
Unauthorized changes and unauthorized use can compromise your safety and affect the service life and/or function of the control terminal.
Only make changes to the control computer or control terminal that are described in the operating manual for the control computer or control terminal.
Use the control computer or control terminal as intended.
Do not open the control computer or control terminal.
Do not pull on the lines.
IMPORTANT
Keep protective devices functional
If protective devices are missing, damaged or faulty or have been removed, implement parts can severely injure or kill people.
Before starting work, check to ensure whether the protective devices have been disabled or manipulated.
Check the implement at least once a day for damage, proper installation, and functionality of the protective devices.
If there is doubt as to whether the protective devices are properly installed and functional:
Have the protective devices checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
Ensure that the protective devices are properly installed and functional before any activity on the implement.
