11.1 Safety
WARNING!
Environmental pollution due to unsuitable disposal of hydraulic and transmission oil
The
hydraulic and transmission oils are not entirely biodegradable. Therefore, oil must be
prevented from entering the environment in an uncontrolled manner.
u
Collect/dam escaped oil with sand, earth or other absorptive material.
u
Collect hydraulic and transmission oil in a suitable container provided for the purpose, and
dispose of it in accordance with the local statutory requirements.
u
Draining and penetration of oil into the sewerage system is to be prevented.
u
Prevent the penetration of oil into the water drain by setting up sand or earth barriers, or by
using other appropriate barrier methods.
In combination with moisture, fertilizer can form aggressive acids that attack paints, plastics, and
especially metal parts. This is why regular washing and caring after use is very important.
Prior to winterizing, thoroughly wash
the machine (refer to 10.2 Cleaning the machine) and let it
dry well.
Next, preserve the machine (refer to 11.3 Preserving the machine).
u
Hang up hoses and cables (refer to 8.9 Parking and unhitching the machine).
u
Park the machine (refer to 8.9 Parking and unhitching the machine).
u
Close the hopper cover
. Leave a gap open to prevent moisture in the hopper.
u
If present, disconnect the control unit or the ISOBUS terminal from power and dust off.
Do not store the control unit or the ISOBUS terminal outdoors. Store in a suitable warm location.
u
Place dust caps on hoses and cable.
u
Open the fertilizer outlets:
w
Metering slide, pre-metering slide, drain door
, etc (depends on the machine)
