-V BAG0087.11 01.20
2.16.3 Electrical system
• When working on the electrical system, always disconnect the
battery (negative terminal).
• Only use the prescribed fuses. Using unsuitable fuses will de-
stroy the electrical system - risk of fire.
• Ensure that the battery is connected correctly -
positive terminal and then connect the negative terminal. When
disconnecting the battery, disconnect the negative terminal first,
followed by the positive terminal.
• Always place the appropriate cover over the positive battery termi-
nal. Accidental grounding poses the risk of an explosion.
• Risk of explosion – Avoid spark formation and naked flames in
the area of the battery!
• The machine can be equipped with electronic components, the
function of which may be influenced by electromagnetic interfer-
ence from other units. Such interference can pose risks to peo-
ple, if the following safety information is not followed.
ο If retrofitting electrical units and/or components on the ma-
chine with a connection to the on-board power supply, the
user is responsible for checking whether the installation
might cause faults on the vehicle electronics or other com-
ponents.
ο Ensure that the retrofitted electrical and electronic compo-
nents comply with the EMC directive 2014/30/EU in the ap-
propriate version and carry the CE label.
2.16.4 Universal joint shaft operation
• Use only the PTO shafts prescribed by the AMAZONEN-WERKE
factories, equipped with the proper safety devices.
• Also read and follow the operating manual from the PTO shaft
manufacturer.
• The protective tube and PTO shaft guard must be undamaged,
and the shield of the tractor and machine universal joint shaft
must be attached and be in proper working condition.
• Work is prohibited while the safety devices are damaged.
• You may install or remove the PTO shaft only after you have
done all of the following:
ο Switched off the universal joint shaft
ο Switched off the tractor engine
ο Applied the parking brake
ο The ignition key has been removed
• Always ensure that the universal joint shaft is installed and se-
cured correctly.
• When using wide-angle PTO shafts, always install the wide an-
gle joint at the pivot point between the tractor and machine.
• Observe the prescribed pipe overlaps in transport and opera-
tional positions. (Read and follow the operating manual from the
PTO shaft manufacturer.)
• When turning corners, observe the permitted bending and dis-
