of the tractor.
¾ Observe the maximum payload of the mount-
ed / hitched up machine and the permissible
axle and drawbar loads of the tractor!
¾ The tractor must secure the prescribed brak-
ing deceleration for the load carrying tractor/
machine combination!
¾ Check the braking eect before setting o!
¾ Consider the width and centrifugal mass of
the machine when cornering with the machine
attached or hitched up!
¾ Before starting transport travels move all sle-
wable machine parts into transport position!
¾ Before starting transport travels lock all sle-
wable machine parts in transport position to
prevent endangering position changes.
Use the dedicated transport locks for this
purpose!
¾ Before starting transport travels lock the con-
trol levers for the hydraulic system to prevent
accidental lifting or lowering of the attached
or hitched up machine!
¾ Before starting transport travels check wheth-
er the necessary transport equipment has
been correctly mounted to the machine, such
as e.g. lighting, warning signs and protective
features!
¾ Match the travel speed to the prevailing con-
ditions!
¾ Shift to a lower gear before driving downhill!
¾ Always switch o single wheel braking (lock
the pedals!) before starting transport travel!
¾ Pay attention to the notes in chapter Transport
travel.
1.6.6 Hydraulic system
WARNING
¾ The hydraulic system is under high pressure!
¾ Ensure correct connection of the hydraulic
hoses!
¾ When connecting hydraulic hoses make sure
that the hydraulic system has been depressurized on both tractor and machine side!
¾ Blocking actuators on the tractor, which serve
the purpose of directly executing hydraulic or
electric movements of components, such as
e.g. folding, slewing and pushing processes,
is prohibited.
The corresponding movements must automatically stop once you release the corresponding actuator. This does not apply for
equipment which
• are continuous or
• automatically controlled or
• require a oating or pressure position be-
cause of their function
¾ Before starting work in the hydraulic system
• lower the machine to the ground
• depressurize the hydraulic system
• shut down the tractor engine
• apply the parking brake.
• pull out the ignition key
18
¾ Pressure accumulator
Depending on the equipment of the machine,
the hydraulic system may have a pressure accumulator installed. Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on the pressure accumulator. Even
after being emptied, the tank is still preloaded
by gas pressure. Always depressurize the
pressure accumulator before starting work on
the hydraulic system. The pressure gauge (if
present) should not indicate any pressure. The
pressure in the pressure gauge must drop to 0
bar. Only then may work be carried out on the
hydraulic system.
¾ Have the hydraulic hoses inspected by an ex-
pert under occupational safety related aspects
at least once every year!
¾ Replace hydraulic hoses if damaged or exces-
sively aged! Use only genuine hydraulic hoses
from HORSCH LEEB AS!
¾ In order to avoid accidents caused by unde-
sired hydraulic movements or hydraulic movements triggered by other persons (children,
passenger), the control units on the tractor
must be secured and locked when not in use
or in transport position.
1.6.7 Electrical system
Always disconnect the battery (negative pole)
before starting work in the electric system!
¾ Use only the specied fuses! The use of too
strong fuses will destroy the electric system.
Fire hazard!
¾ Make sure that the battery is correctly con-
nected. Connect the plus pole rst and the
minus pole after. When disconnecting discon-
nect the negative pole rst and the positive
pole after!
¾ The utilization period of hydraulic hoses
should not exceed six years, including a possible storage time of maximum two years.
Even if properly stored and under permissible
stress, hoses and hose connections are subject to natural ageing, which limits their shelf
life and utilization period. Deviating from this,
the utilization period can also be determined
on the basis of empirical values, particularly
under due consideration of the endangering
potential. For hoses and hose lines made of
thermoplastics other guide values may be
decisive.
¾ Never try to seal o leaking hydraulic hoses
with your hands or ngers. Fluids (hydraulic
oil) escaping under pressure can penetrate
the skin and enter into the body causing severe injury! If injured by hydraulic oil, consult
a doctor immediately! Danger of infection!
¾ Due to the possible danger of severe infec-
tions, one must use appropriate auxiliary
means when looking for leakages!
¾ Power sockets and connectors (electric,
pneumatic) should be identied by colour to
rule out operating errors.
¾ Always cover the positive battery pole with the
dedicated covering. Danger of explosion in
case of short-circuit to ground!
¾ Avoid sparking and naked ames in the vicin-
ity of the battery! Danger of explosion!
¾ The machine can be equipped with electronic
components and parts, the function of which
can be aected by the transmission of electromagnetic waves from other equipment. Such
inuences can lead to the endangerment of
persons, if the following safety notes are not
complied with.
In case of a subsequent installation of electric
appliances and/or components on the machine, with connection to the on-board power
supply, the user in his own responsibility must
check whether this installation will cause
interferences in the vehicle electronics or in
other components.
Make sure that the subsequently installed
electric and electronic components are
in accordance with the valid issue of the
EMC directive 2014/30/EC and are identied
with the CE-sign.
19
1.6.8 Towed machines
1.6.10 Pneumatic brake system
¾ Pay attention to the permissible combinations
of hitching device on the tractor and drawbar
hitch on the machine!
Couple only permissible vehicle combinations
(tractor and towed machine).
¾ In case of single-axle machines pay attention
to the maximum permissible drawbar load of
the tractor on the hitching device!
¾ Always ensure sucient steering and braking
capacity of the tractor!
Machines mounted to or towed by a tractor
aect the travel behaviour as well as the steering and braking ability of the tractor, especially
single-axle machines with drawbar load applied to the tractor!
¾ For drawbars with drawbar load, the height
of the drawbar must only be adjusted in a
specialist workshop!
1.6.9 Brake system
¾ Only drive o with the hitched up machine af-
ter the operating pressure required to release
the brake has been reached (pressure gauge
on tractor).
¾ Before coupling the machine clean the seal
rings on the coupling heads of the supply and
brake line from possible contamination!
¾ Close the coupling heads on the tractor before
driving without machine!
¾ Close the coupling heads of supply and brake
lines and hook these into the brackets provided for this purpose!
¾ Drain the air vessel daily!
¾ The specied settings on the brake valves
must not be changed!
¾ Change the air vessel if it is loose in the ten-
sion straps, if it is damaged, the type plate is
corroded, loose or missing.
1.6.11 Tyres
¾ Adjustment and repair work on the brake
system must only be carried out in expert
workshops or established brake service
workshops.
¾ Immediately stop the tractor in case of brake
system malfunctions.
Have the malfunction remedied immediately.
¾ The brake system must be thoroughly
checked at regular intervals.
¾ Securely park the machine before starting
work in the brake system. Secure the machine
against unintended lowering and rolling away
(wheel chocks)!
¾ Be extra careful when performing welding,
ame cutting or drilling work near brake lines!
¾ After setup and repair work on the brake sys-
tem you must generally carry out a brake test!
¾ Pay attention to the corresponding regulations
(France) when changing the hydraulic oil!
¾ Only use the specied hydraulic oils (France)
when topping up or changing the hydraulic oil.
¾ When working on the tyres make sure that the
machine has been parked safely and properly
secured against rolling away and accidental
lowering (parking brake, wheel chocks).
¾ The assembly of wheels and tyres requires
profound knowledge and the use of proper
assembly tools!
¾ Repair work on tyres and wheels must only be
carried out by specialists and only with the appropriate assembly tools for this kind of work!
¾ Check the air pressure regularly! Pay attention
to the specied air pressure!
¾ Check the wheel nuts regularly and retighten
all fastening screws and nuts as specied by
HORSCH LEEB AS GmbH! Failing to do so
can lead to loosing wheels and thus to the
machine tipping over.

1.6.12 Handling crop protection agents
1.6.13 Operating the crop protection sprayer
¾ Follow the recommendations of the crop
protection agent manufacturers in regard to
• protective clothing.
• Warnings concerning the handling of crop
protection agents.
• Regulations for metering, use and cleaning.
¾ Store all relevant information about the used
crop protection agent (safety data sheets,
instructions for use, etc.) in the document
container.
¾ Pay attention to the notes in the “AID” publica-
tions - No. 1237 “Crop protection terminology”
and No. 1042 "Caution when handling crop
protection agents”. (Only available in German)
¾ The water quality (the water hardness and
mineral content in particular) inuences the
property of some fertilisers and crop protec-
tion agents. Precipitation and deocculation
can cause deposits in lters and nozzles.
Example: Extremely calciferous water reacts
with sulphate-bearing fertiliser to form calcium
sulphate (gypsum) and causes white deposits
in the lters.
Pay attention to the conditions of use and
the combination possibilities given by the
corresponding manufacturers to avoid such
problems!
¾ Observe the data on compatibility of crop
protection agents with materials of the crop
protection sprayer!
¾ Do not spray any crop protection agents that
have a tendency to agglutination or solidication!
¾ When handling crop protection agents wear
suitable protective clothing.
¾ Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling crop
protection agents!
¾ Keep crop protection equipment and crop
protection agents out of the reach of children!
¾ Always ensure a sucient water supply in the
machine to be able to wash o crop protection
agent in events of emergency.
¾ In case of physical contact with crop protection
products you may need to consult a physician.
¾ Thoroughly clean hands and face after the
end of work.
¾ Pay attention to the notes in the Plant Protec-
tion Act!
¾ Observe the notes in the publications of the
"Federal Ministry for food, agriculture and
consumer protection".
¾ Never open pressurized lines!
¾ Use only original spare hoses from HORSCH
LEEB AS, which will withstand the chemical,
mechanical and thermal loads. For assembly
you should generally use hose clamps made
of V2A.
¾ Repair work inside the spraying mixture con-
tainer must only be performed after thorough
cleaning and with a respirator. This work must
be monitored by a second person outside the
spraying mixture container for safety reasons.
Ensure sucient ventilation of the spraying
mixture container!
¾ Please pay attention to the following when
repairing crop protection sprayers which have
been used with ammonium nitrate - carbonyl
diamide solution:
by the evaporation of water, residues of ammonium nitrate - carbonyl diamide solution
can be form salt on or inside the spraying
mixture container. This results in pure ammonium nitrate and carbonyl diamide. In its pure
form, ammonium nitrate in connection with
organic matter , such as e.g. carbonyl diamide,
becomes explosive, if critical temperatures
(caused by e.g. welding work, grinding, ling)
are reached during repairs.
¾ By thorough washing o the spraying mixture
container or the parts to be repaired with
water, this endangerment can be eliminated,
because the salt of the ammonium nitrate carbonyl diamide solution is water soluble.
Therefore always clean the crop protection
sprayer thoroughly with water before starting
repair work!
¾ The rated volume of the spraying mixture
container must not be exceeded when lling!
¾ At the headland reduce the travel speed and
switch o the sprayer.
¾ Excessive, jerky steering movements at the
beginning and the end of a curve will put extreme loads on the folding boom.
21
¾ When applying small droplets under strong
wind, the chemical can be blown about and
thus cause damage for others!
¾ If the soil is very dry, the applied chemical
can be blown away together with dust and
cause damage. Always wait until the soil is
suciently moist!
¾ Check the following from time to time: Meter-
ing quantity, clogged nozzles, damage to
machine parts, leakage and cleanliness of
the machine.
¾ For tractors with cabins with ventilation fans
replace the fresh air lters with activatedcarbon lters!
¾ Ensure that the category of the tractor cabin
is approved for the respective crop protection
agent used.
¾ Do not ll crop protection sprayers with water
from open waterbodies - to protect man, animal and environment!
¾ Always ensure a sucient water supply in the
machine to be able to wash o crop protection
agent in events of emergency.
¾ When using these products strictly comply
with the instructions for use and the precautions listed issued by the crop protection
product manufacturer!
¾ Information concerning the preparations used
must always be kept in the transport box, so
that these are available for rescue services
in case of accidents.
¾ Fill the crop protection sprayer only through
original HORSCH LEEB AS lling equipment
and by gravity feed via the water mains!
¾ Never blow out nozzles and other small parts
with your mouth!
¾ Thoroughly clean hands and face after the
end of work.

applicable regulations!
¾ Prior to working on the electrical system,
disconnect it from the electric current supply!
¾ Disconnect the cable from the generator
and the battery of the tractor before starting
electric welding work on tractor or connected
machines!
The ground connection must be as close as
possible to the welding point.
22
¾ If protective features are subjected to wear,
they must be inspected at regular intervals
and replaced in due time!
¾ Spare parts must at least meet the technical
requirements specified by the equipment
manufacturer! This is ensured when using

D-38104 Braunschweig
1.15.2 Consequential damage
The machine has been manufactured by
HORSCH LEEB Application Systems GmbH
with great care. However, despite the intended
use deviations in placement quantity up to total
failure may be caused by e.g.:
¾ dierent compositions of crop protection agents
(insecticides, fungicides, herbicides etc.) in the
form of suspensions, emulsions and mixtures as
well as liquid fertilisers
¾ blockages and bridging (e.g. agglutination or
occulation of crop protection agents)
¾ wear of wear items
¾ incorrect application quantities and travel
speeds
¾ incorrect sprayer settings and non-compliance
with the "Good professional practice in crop
protection - fundamentals for execution"
¾ reaction of crop protection agents caused by
impermissible mixing of two or more dierent
crop protection agents (e.g. occulation of the
spraying mixture)
1.15.3 Effects when using certain crop protection products
At the time the crop protection sprayer is manufactured the manufacturer is aware of only a
few crop protection agents with BBA (Biological
Federal Institute for Agriculture and Forestry)
approval, which could have a damaging eect
on the materials used in the crop protection
equipment.
We would like to point out, that e.g. crop protection agents known to use, like Lasso, Betanal
and Tramal, Stomp, Iloxan, Mudecan, Elancolan
and Teridox will cause damage to hoses and
switching diaphragms, if these are exposed
to such products over a longer period of time
(20 hours). The listed examples do not claim
completeness.
We particularly warn against the use of non-
permitted mixtures of two or more dierent crop
protection agents. Substances with a tendency
to agglutination or solidication must not be
placed.
When using such aggressive crop protection
agents it is highly recommended to place these
immediately after the preparation of the spraying
mixture and thoroughly clean the system with
water after.
The materials and components used for the
HORSCH LEEB AS crop protection sprayers
are liquid fertiliser proof.
¾ damage caused by external eects (e.g.
ow meter)
