1.7 Operating Areas
The operating areas include the drawbar,
hydraulic connections and depth adjustment
equipment as well as all operating points
requiring maintenance.
All operating areas will be specified and
described in detail in the following chapters
on servicing and maintenance.
Observe all safety regulations included in the
Section dealing with Safety, and in the sub-
sequent sections.
1. Safety Data
Pay particular attention to those items which
require specialist service tools or training to
be carried out by qualified personnel. Do not
attempt to service these items yourself!
These include items retaining pressure (e.g.
accumulator circuits), or force (e.g. spring
tines), and DD axles of any type.
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).
Lubricate all the lubricating points to force out
any trapped water.
When carrying out servicing and maintenance
work, retighten any loose screw connections.
When servicing the machine take precautions
against dust, seed coatings, oil or any other
hazardous substances that you might encounter.
1.8 Authorised Operators
Only those persons who have been
authorised and instructed by a fully
trained
operator may operate the machine. The
operator must be at least 16 years of age.
1.9 Protective Equipment
For operation and maintenance, you require:
• Tight fitting clothing.
•Strong protective gloves (components may
become sharp following use or wear).
• Protective goggles (to stop dirt getting into
your eyes).
