For example: risk of cutting.
2. The consequence of non-observance of the risk-avoidance instructions.
For example: causes serious injuries to fingers or hands.
3. Instructions for avoiding the danger.
For example: only touch machine parts when they have come to a complete standstill.

General Safety Instructions
14 GreenDrill BAH0054-4 02.13
Order number and explanation Warning symbols
MD 076
Danger of hands or arms being drawn in
and/or caught by moving parts involved in
the power transmission!
This danger can result in extremely serious

treads or platforms.
Ensure that no-one rides on the machine.
MD 095
Read and understand the operating manual
safety information before starting up the ma-
chine!

General Safety Instructions
GreenDrill BAH0054-4 02.13 15
MD 102

e.g. installation, adjusting, troubleshooting,
cleaning, maintaining and repairing, due to
the tractor and the machine being started
unintentionally and rolling.
These dangers can cause extremely serious and
potentially fatal injuries.
Secure the tractor and the machine against
unintentional start-up and rolling before any
intervention in the machine.
Depending on the type of intervention, read
and understand the information in the rele-
vant sections of the operating manual.

General Safety Instructions
16 GreenDrill BAH0054-4 02.13
1.14 Safety information for the operator
1.14.1 General safety and accident prevention information
Beside these instructions, comply with the general valid national safety and accident prevention
regulations.
The warning symbols and labels attached to the machine provide important information on safe
machine operation. Compliance with this information guarantees your safety.
Before moving off and starting up the machine, check the immediate area of the machine (chil-
dren). Ensure that you can see clearly.
It is forbidden to ride on the machine or use it as a means of transport!
Drive in such a way that you always have full control over the tractor with the attached machine.
In so doing, take your personal abilities into account, as well as the road, traffic, visibility and
weather conditions, the driving characteristics of the tractor and the attached or hitched machine.
Use of the machine
Before starting work, ensure that you understand all the equipment and actuation elements of the
machine and their function. There is no time for this when the machine is already in operation!
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing. Loose clothing increases the risk of being caught by drive
shafts.
Do not start up the machine until all the safety equipment has been attached and is in the safety
position.
Comply with the maximum load of the connected machine and the approved axle and support
loads of the tractor. If necessary, drive only with a partially filled hopper.
It is forbidden to stand in the working area of the machine.
It is forbidden to stand in the rotating and swivel area of the machine.
There are nip and shear points at externally actuated (e.g. hydraulic) machine parts.
Do not operate externally actuated machine parts unless all persons are an adequate safety
distance from the machine.
Secure the tractor against unintentional start-up and rolling before you leave the tractor.
For this:
Lower the machine onto the ground.
Apply the parking brake
Switch off the tractor engine.
Remove the ignition key.

General Safety Instructions
GreenDrill BAH0054-4 02.13 17
1.14.2 Electrical system
When working on the electrical system, always disconnect the battery (negative terminal).
Only use the prescribed fuses. If fuses are used that are too highly rated, the electrical system
will be destroyed – danger of fire!
Ensure that the battery is connected correctly - first connect the positive terminal and then con-
nect the negative terminal. When disconnecting the battery, disconnect the negative terminal
first, followed by the positive terminal.
Always place the appropriate cover over the positive battery terminal. If there is accidental earth
contact, there is a risk of explosion.
Risk of explosion. Avoid the production of sparks and naked flames in the vicinity of the battery!
The machine can be equipped with electronic components, the function of which may be influ-
enced by electromagnetic interference from other units. Such interference can pose risks to
people, if the following safety information is not followed.
In the case of retrofitting of electrical units and/or components on the machine, with a con-
nection to the on-board power supply, the user must check whether the installation might
cause faults on the vehicle electronics or other components.
Ensure that the retrofitted electrical and electronic components comply with the EMC direc-
tive 89/336/EEC in the appropriate version and carry the CE mark.
1.14.3 Operation of the seed drill
Observe the permissible fill levels of the seed box (capacity of the seed box).
Only use the steps and the platform when filling the seed box.
It is forbidden to ride on the machine during operation.
During the calibration test, note the danger points from rotating and oscillating machine parts.
Before transportation, remove the thrust collars of the tramline marker.
Do not place any parts in the seed box.
Lock the track marker (construction-dependent) in the transport position before transportation.

General Safety Instructions
18 GreenDrill BAH0054-4 02.13
1.14.4 Cleaning, maintenance and repairs
Only carry out cleaning, maintenance and repair work on the machine when:
The drive is switched off
The tractor engine is at a standstill
The ignition key has been removed
The machine's connector has been disconnected from the on-board computer.
Regularly check the nuts and bolts for a firm seat and tighten them as necessary.
Secure the raised machine and/or raised machine parts against unintentional lowering before
performing any cleaning, maintenance or repair work on the machine.
Use suitable tools and gloves when replacing work tools with cutting edges.
Dispose of oils, greases and filters in the appropriate way.
Disconnect the cable to the tractor generator and battery, before carrying out electrical welding
work on the tractor and on attached machines.
Spare parts must at least meet the specified technical requirements of AMAZONEN-WERKE.
This is ensured by using original AMAZONE spare parts!
