3.9 Maintenance Platform and Ladder
Attention, danger of falling!
Never step on the maintenance platform [14] (Figure 9),
while the machine is in motion. Before stepping on the
maintenance platform: stop machine, switch-off power take-
off shaft and tractor motor and wait for standstill of the
machine.
Climb and leave the maintenance platform exclusively via
the ladder [10]. Never step on the ladder when folded up –
always fold down the ladder before using it.
(Figure 9) To climb the maintenance platform: fold down the
ladder [10].
(Figure 9) Before the machine can move on: fold up and
lock the ladder [10] again.
3.10 Tailgate Safeguard
The hydraulic shut-off valve (Figure 10) is located on the
drawbar (left machine side).
If any short-time maintenance or assembly work is carried out
with the tailgate open, the tailgate must be hydraulically
secured against lowering: use the shut-off valve.
When shut off, the shut-off valve is positioned at right
angles to the flow direction (Figure 11).
When opened, the shut-off valve is positioned longitudinally
to the flow direction (Figure 11).
In case of longer maintenance or assembly work with the
tailgate open, the tailgate must (in addition to the hydraulic
safeguard) be mechanically secured against lowering - using
suitable means. This is necessary because, even if the
hydraulic system is shut off, hydraulic pressure losses may still
occur.
After completion of maintenance and assembly work: Set the
shut-off valve to its initial position (longitudinal to flow direction,
Figure 11) and remove the mechanical safeguard.
