Operating Instructions
1.5.3 Changing Equipment
• Secure the machine to prevent it from
accidentally rolling away!
• Use suitable supports to secure any raised
frame sections suspended above you!
• Caution! Risk of injury due to projecting parts!
• Use the ladders to climb on to the machine.
Never climb on to rotating parts such
as the roll unit. These parts may
rotate causing you to slip and suffer
serious injury!
1.5.4 During Operation
Ensure that the working range and the area
around the machine are clear (children!)
before operating the machine.
Always ensure adequate visibility!
Do not stand on the machine while it is in
operation!
Operators must have a valid driving licence
in order to drive on public roads. In the
operating area, the operator is responsible
for third parties.
The person in charge must:
• provide the operator with a copy of the
Operating Instructions, and
• ensure that the operator has read and
understood the instructions.
• make sure that the operator is aware of
the specific regulations relating to the
machine when driving on public roads.
1.6 Servicing &
Maintenance
Ensure that regular checks and inspections
are always carried out within the periods
required by law or specified in these
Operating Instructions.
When carrying out service and maintenance
work always:
• switch off the tractor engine and remove
the ignition key.
• wait until all the machine parts have
stopped moving.
• depressurize the hydraulic system.
Prior to performing maintenance and
servicing work, ensure that the machine is
positioned on solid, level ground and is
secured to prevent it rolling away. Do not
use any parts to climb on to the machine
unless they are specifically designed for this
purpose.
Before cleaning the machine with water,
steam jets (high-pressure cleaning
apparatus) or other cleaning agents, cover
all openings into which, for reasons of safety
or operation, no water, steam or cleaning
agents are to penetrate (bearings, for
instance).
Next, check all hydraulic lines for leaks, loose
connections, chafe marks and damage.
Remedy any deficiencies immediately!
Lubricate all the lubricating points to force
out any trapped water.
When carrying out servicing and maintenance
work, retighten any loose screw connections.
