14.1 Removing/attaching the spout extension/spout end piece
When you convert from grass mode to maize mode or vice versa, the length of the spout must
be adapted to the front attachment.
Risk of injury due to suspended load!
There is a danger for persons due to falling load.
• Pay attention to sufficient carrying load of the hoist.
• Do not stay under the suspended load.
• If work has to be performed under the load, securely support the load.
Risk of injury from escaping hydraulic oil!
The hydraulic system operates at very high pressure. Escaping hydraulic oil will result in severe
injuries to the skin, limbs and eyes. The oil can penetrate the skin and cause severe injuries to
tissue and the bloodstream.
• When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic system of the forage harvester, the
system must be relieved of the pressure on either side.
• When searching for leaks, use suitable aids and wear safety goggles to prevent the risk of
injury.
• Seek medical help immediately should injuries occur. Risk of infection!
• Before uncoupling the hoses and before performing work on the hydraulic system,
depressurise the hydraulic system.
• Check the hydraulic hoses regularly and replace them if they are damaged or show signs of
ageing! Replacement hoses must meet the technical requirements of the device
manufacturer.
