Adjustment and maintenance operations
The machine drives are not automatically secured after stopping the engine due to their functions. Moreover, adjustment operations may require that drives be rotated.
For these reasons, the following must be observed: •Prior to adjustment, cleaning and maintenance operations as well as removing malfunctions: -Stop the chopper unit. -Stop the engine. -Disconnect the battery isolating switch. •Prior to adjustment, cleaning and maintenance operations as well as removing malfunctions on the hydraulic system, lower the front attachment and/or the feeder unit completely to the ground. •When working on the electric system, always disconnect the battery isolating switch. •After stopping the chopper unit, the drives continue rotating. Absolutely wait for these machine parts to come to a complete halt. •It must be ensured that other persons cannot start the machine or rotate the drives. •Liquids escaping under high pressure (fuel, hydraulic oil etc.) may penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. For this reason consult a doctor immediately as otherwise serious infections may result! •Repair work on the hydraulic system may be carried out only by specialist workshops. •Be careful when opening the radiator cap. When the engine is hot, the radiator is under pressure! •The installation of tyres requires sufficient knowledge and proper tools! •Dispose of oils, fuels and filters in a proper way! •Retighten wheel nuts at regular intervals!
