Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can pen-
etrate the skin and cause serious injuries. In the
event of injury, consult a doctor immediately.
The machine's hydraulic system has several
functions, which can cause injury to persons or
damage to the machine, if operated incorrectly.
¾ Do not connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor,
before both hydraulic systems on machine
and tractor are de-pressurised.
¾ The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
¾ Use only appropriate means when searching
for leaks. Repair any damage immediately!
Oil sprays can cause injuries and re!
¾ Power sockets and connectors on the hydrau-
lic connections should be marked in order to
exclude operating errors.
¾ In the case of injury, contact a doctor imme-
diately!
¾ Secure and lock the control unit on the tractor,
if not in use!
¾ Replace hydraulic hoses at the latest after six
years, see “Maintenance overview”.
Pressure accumulator
The hydraulic system may be equipped with a
pressure accumulators.
¾ Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on pres-
sure accumulators. Even when empty, the ac-
cumulator is still preloaded by gas pressure.
The hydraulic system must be depressurized
before maintenance!
Brake system
Depending on the equipment, the machines can
be equipped with a pneumatically or hydrauli-
cally operated service brake system.
For road travel the brake system must always
be connected and fully functional.
¾ After hitching the machine and before trans-
portation you should always check the func-
tion and condition of the brake system.
¾ Check the setting on the brake pressure
regulator.
¾ Always release the parking brake before start-
ing to drive.
¾ Always secure the machine against rolling
away and apply the parking brake before
unhitching.
Adjustments and repair work on the brake sys-
tem must only be carried out in a professional
workshop or by an operator, who has been
specially trained by HORSCH.
Overhead power lines
When unfolding or folding the wings, the ma-
chine may reach the height of overhead power
lines. Possible voltage ashover to the machine
causing fatal electric shock or re.
¾ Keep a safe distance to electric high voltage
power lines with the folded up machine or when
unfolding or folding the machine.
¾ Do not unfold or fold the wings in the vicinity
of pylons and power lines.
¾ Never leave or access the machine under
overhead power lines to avoid possible risks
of electric shock or voltage ashover.
