Raised implement parts can descend unintentionally and crush or kill people.
Never linger under raised implement parts.
If you have to work on or under raised machine parts,
lower the implement parts or secure the raised implement parts with a mechanical support or hydraulic locking device.
IMPORTANT
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
Only authorised design changes
Design changes and extensions can impede the functioning and operational safety of the implement. This can result in serious injury or death.
Have any design changes and extensions performed only by a qualified specialist workshop and in consultation with AMAZONE.
IMPORTANT
Danger due to welding work
Improper welding work, particularly on or close to safety-related components, endangers the operational safety of the implement. This can result in accidents and serious personal injury or even death. Safety-related components include, for example, hydraulic components and electronic components, frames, springs, coupling devices to the tractor such as the three-point mounting frame, drawbar, trailer support, trailer coupling or tensioned crosspiece as well as axles and axle suspensions, 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.
Before welding on the implement:
Uncouple the implement from the tractor.
Do not weld close to a field sprayer that was previously used to spread liquid fertiliser.
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 implement.
Never modify safety-related components.
Never drill out existing holes.
Perform all maintenance work at the prescribed maintenance intervals.
IMPORTANT
Incorrect operating temperature and storage temperature can cause damage
If the operating temperature and storage temperature are not observed, there can damage to the control computer or control terminal, therefore resulting in malfunctions and dangerous situations.
Operate the control computer or control terminal only at temperatures from -20°C to +65°C.
Store the control computer or control terminal only at temperatures from -30°C to +80°C.
IMPORTANT
A short circuit can cause damage
When repair work is performed on the tractor or on a towed or mounted implement, there is a risk of short circuit.
Before you perform maintenance work:
Disconnect all connections between the control terminal or control computer and the tractor.
IMPORTANT
Overvoltage can cause damage
If welding work is 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
Improper cleaning can cause damage
Clean the control computer or control terminal only with a moist, soft cloth.
IMPORTANT
Special equipment, accessories, and spare parts
Special equipment, accessories, and spare parts that do not meet AMAZONE requirements can impede the operational safety of the implement and cause accidents.
Only use original parts or parts that meet AMAZONE requirements.
If you have any questions regarding special equipment, accessories or spare parts,
contact your dealer or AMAZONE.
IMPORTANT
Unsuitable operating materials
Operating materials that do not meet AMAZONE requirements can cause implement damage and accidents.
Only use operating material that meet the requirements in the Technical Data.
IMPORTANT
Unauthorised changes and unauthorised use
Unauthorised changes and unauthorised use can impair 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 according to its intended use.
Do not open the control computer or control terminal.
Do not pull on the lines.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the protective equipment is functional
If protective equipment is missing, damaged or removed, implement parts can cause serious personal injury or even death.
Before beginning work, check whether the protective devices have been deactivated or manipulated.
Check the implement at least once a day for damage, proper installation, and functioning of the protective equipment.
If you are not sure if the protective equipment is properly installed and functional:
Have the protective equipment checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
Make sure that the protective devices are properly installed and functional before any work on the implement.
