If in doubt about the safety relevant status of the
machine, e.g. in case of leaking out operating
uids, visible damage or unexpected changes
in travel behaviour:
¾ Immediately shut down and secure the machine.
¾ If possible locate and rectify the faults by fol-
lowing these operating instructions.
¾ Rectify possible causes for damage (e.g. re-
move coarse dirt and tighten loose screws).
¾ Have damage, that could aect safety and
that cannot be rectied by yourself, rectied
by a qualied expert workshop.
Hitching and unhitching
Faulty hitching up of the machine to the pulling
tool of the tractor causes dangers, whic´h could
result in severe accidents.
¾ Strictly comply with all operating instructions:
• These operating instructions (chapter “Hitch-
ing up and transport position” and “Parking”)
• Operating instructions of the tractor
¾ Take special care when reversing the tractor.
Never stand between tractor and machine.
¾ Only park the machine on a rm and level
surface. Before unhitching the machine, lower
it to the ground.
¾ Secure the machine against rolling away.
9
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. In the
event of injury, consult a doctor immediately.
The machine's hydraulic system has several
functions, which can cause injury to persons or
damage to the machine, if operated incorrectly.
¾ Do not connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor,
before both hydraulic systems on machine
and tractor are de-pressurised.
¾ The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed connections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
¾ Use only appropriate means when searching
for leaks. Repair any damage immediately!
Oil sprays can cause injuries and re!
¾ Power sockets and connectors on the hydrau-
lic connections should be marked in order to
exclude operating errors.
¾ In the case of injury, contact a doctor imme-
diately!
¾ Secure and lock the control unit on the tractor,
if not in use!
¾ Replace hydraulic hoses at the latest after six
years, see “Maintenance overview”.
Pressure accumulator
The hydraulic system may be equipped with a
pressure accumulators.
¾ Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on pres-
sure accumulators. Even when empty, the accumulator is still preloaded by gas pressure.
The hydraulic system must be depressurized
before maintenance!
Brake system
Depending on the equipment, the machines can
be equipped with a pneumatically or hydraulically operated service brake system.
For road travel the brake system must always
be connected and fully functional.
¾ After hitching the machine and before trans-
portation you should always check the function and condition of the brake system.
¾ Check the setting on the brake pressure
regulator.
¾ Always release the parking brake before start-
ing to drive.
¾ Always secure the machine against rolling
away and apply the parking brake before
unhitching.
Adjustments and repair work on the brake system must only be carried out in a professional
workshop or by an operator, who has been
specially trained by HORSCH.
Overhead power lines
When unfolding or folding the wings, the machine may reach the height of overhead power
lines. Possible voltage ashover to the machine
causing fatal electric shock or re.
¾ Keep a safe distance to electric high voltage
power lines with the folded up machine or when
unfolding or folding the machine.
¾ Do not unfold or fold the wings in the vicinity
of pylons and power lines.
¾ Never leave or access the machine under
overhead power lines to avoid possible risks
of electric shock or voltage ashover.
10
What to do in case of voltage ashover
Voltage ashover generates high electric voltages on the outside of the machine. This results
in extreme voltage dierences at the ground
around the machine. Wide strides, laying on the
ground or supporting yourself with your hands
on the ground can cause life-threatening electric
currents (pace voltage).
¾ Do not leave the cabin.
¾ Do not touch any metal objects.
¾ Do not create a conductive connection to
ground.
¾ Warn persons: DO NOT come near the ma-
chine. Electric voltages at the ground can
cause severe electric shock.
¾ Wait for professional rescuers. The overhead
power line needs to be switched o.
If persons need to leave the cabin despite the
voltage ashover, e.g. in case of a potential lifethreatening risk of re:
¾ Jump away from the machine. Ensure a safe
stand when jumping. Do not touch the outside
of the machine.
¾ Move away from the machine with short step-
ping strides.
Technical limiting values
If the technical limiting values of the machine
are not complied with, the machine may get
damaged. This can lead to accidents with severe
or even fatal physical injuries.
The following technical limiting values are of
particular importance for safety:
• permissible total weight
• maximum axle loads
• maximum drawbar load
• top speed
See chapter “Technical data”, type plate and
type approval.
¾ Also pay attention to the max. permitted loads
for the tractor.
Use in the eld
DANGER
No passengers are allowed to ride on the
machine!
¾ Check the area around the machine (for chil-
dren!) before setting o and starting operation
of the machine. Ensure sucient visibility.
¾ Ensure sucient stability of the machine in
case of longitudinal or transverse inclination
when working in uneven terrain. Pay attention
to the limiting values for the tractor!
¾ Do not remove any of the mandatory and
supplied protective devices.
¾ Stay clear of the operating range of hydrauli-
cally operated parts.
¾ Do not drive backwards with the machine
lowered. The components have only been
designed for forward travel in the eld and
may be damaged when reversing.
Changing equipment / wear items
¾ Secure the machine against unintended roll-
ing away!
¾ Secure raised frame parts you have to work
under with suitable supports!
¾ Caution! Danger of injury caused by projecting
parts (e.g. coulters)!
Do not use packer tyres or other rotating parts
to climb on the machine. These could rotate and
you could be seriously injured by falling down.
11
Fertiliser and dressed
seed
Inappropriate handling of fertiliser and dressed
seed can cause poisoning and death.
¾ Follow the information given in the safety
data sheet of the manufacturer. If necessary
ask the dealer for the corresponding safety
data sheet.
¾ Determine and provide the personal protective
outt as specied by the manufacturer.
Environmental protection
Operating materials such as hydraulic oil, lubricants, etc. can damage the environment and the
health of persons.
¾ Do not allow operating materials to drain out
into the environment.
¾ Take up drained out operating materials with
absorbent material or sand, ll it into a leak
tight container and dispose of in accordance
with statutory regulations.
Retrots
Structural changes and extensions can adverse-
ly aect the functionality and the operational
safety of the machine. This can lead to severe
or even fatal physical injuries.
¾ Do not make any structual changes or ex-
tensions which have not been approved by
HORSCH.
¾ Structural changes and extensions must only
be made in an authorized workshop or by an
operator who has been trained by HORSCH.
¾ Comply with country specic instructions fr
weights, weight distribution and dimensions.
For equipment inuencing the weight or weight
distribution one must check and comply with the
regulations concerning towing facilities, support
and axle loads.
For machines without brakes a brake system
may need to be retrotted, if the permissible
weight limits are exceeded.
In case of changes concerning data mentioned
on the type plate, a new type plate with updated
data must be attached.
In case of changes which concern the data in
the type approval, this type approval needs to
be renewed.
12
Care and maintenance
Inappropriate care and maintenance puts the
operational safety of the machine at risk. This
can lead to accidents with severe or even fatal
physical injuries.
¾ Conform with prescribed schedules for repeti-
tive tests or inspections.
¾ Service the machine according to the
maintenance plan, see chapter “Care and
maintenance”.
¾ Only perform the work described in these
operating instructions.
¾ Before starting maintenance and service work
park the machine on level and rm ground and
secure it against rolling away.
¾ De-pressurise the hydraulic system and lower
or support the implement.
¾ Prior to working on the electrical system,
disconnect it from the electric power supply.
¾ Before cleaning the machine with high pres-
sure cleaning equipment cover all openings,
which should stay clear of water, steam or
cleaning agents for reasons of safety or
operation. Do not aim the water jet directly
on electric or electronic components and
bearings.
¾ When cleaning with high pressure or steam
cleaning equipment keep a distance of at least
50 cm to machine components.
¾ After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for
leaks and loose connections.
¾ Check for chang and signs of other damage.
Remedy any faults immediately!
¾ Screw connections loosened for the purpose
of maintenance and service work must be
retighten after work is completed.
¾ All other maintenance and repair tasks,
which are not described in the operating
instructions, must only be carried out by
an authorized professional workshop or
by an operator who has been trained by
HORSCH for this purpose.
Do not clean new machines with a steam jet
of a high pressure cleaner. The paint takes
approx. 3 months to cure and could thus be
damaged if this time has not yet expired.
13
Danger zone
The area marked red indicates the danger zone
of the machine:
The danger zone around the machine poses the
following endangerments:
¾ Accidental operation of the hydraulic system
can trigger dangerous movements of the
machine.

Calculating the ballasting
The permissible total weight, the permissible
axle loads and the load bearing capacity of the
tyres must not be exceeded when mounting or
hitching up implements.
The front axle of the tractor must always be
loaded with at least 20 % of the curb weight of
the tractor.
¾ Before transportation on public roads you
must make sure that the tractor is not overloaded and suitable for this implement.
¾ Weigh the implement separately. Since dif-
ferent equipment variants are possible, the
weight of the implement must be determined
by weighing.
