Starting up the machine
6.4 Entering the mixing container
You will have to enter the mixing container, e.g. to carry out
maintenance work on the cutting knives of the mixing auger.
WARNING
Risk of crushing, shearing, cuts, amputation, becoming
entangled, wound up, being drawn in and risk of impact for
people if:
• lifted, unsecured machine parts accidentally come down or
are lowered unintentionally, e.g. an open discharge door,
• Tractor and machine accidentally start and roll away,
• the mixing auger is accidentally powered!
Take note of the information in the chapter "Securing tractor and
machine against accidental starting and rolling", page 126.
• Secure raised machine parts against accidental lowering before
you start work in the vicinity of raised parts.
• Secure the tractor and the machine against accidental starting
and rolling before entering the mixing container.
WARNING
Risk of falling off the machine if people enter the mixing
container by climbing over the top edge of the mixing container!
As a basic principle, enter the mixing container through a discharge
opening.
WARNING
Risk of cuts when entering the mixing container if the cutting
knives of the mixing auger are directed towards the discharge
opening!
Rotate the mixing auger such that the cutting knives are directed
away from the discharge opening before entering the mixing
container.
WARNING
• Always ensure a firm standing position. Beware that the
standing surface on the mixing auger is inclined.
• Cover the sharp-edged cutting knives before moving in the
mixing container.
• Remove any fodder residues and dampness before moving in
the mixing container.
Risk of slipping, stumbling or falling when moving in the mixing
container if people slip due to insufficient stability!
• Wear appropriate protective clothing when entering the mixing
container.
