Translated user manual V9-EN BeNomic EasyLeaf 17 / 44
Additional options, accessories and spares must be ordered and supplied
exclusively by the manufacturer, Berg Hortimotive.
The safety pictograms which have been fitted on the BeNomic EasyLeaf (see
chapter 3.2: Repetition of the safety pictograms used) must be visible at all

normal. If the BeNomic EasyLeaf has not been set up correctly, it may pose a
hazard. Be sure that the platform height has been secured correctly.
The BeNomic EasyLeaf has been specially designed for running on a pipe rail system. The
BeNomic EasyLeaf was checked for proper functioning and safety, before leaving the Berg
Hortimotive factory. Prior to starting up the BeNomic EasyLeaf, the items described in article
6.1 must be inspected.
The pipe rail system must comply with the requirements as laid down in the horticulture sector
guidelines from the health and safety catalogue in force in the Netherlands. The minimum
specifications are given at Article 5.3 for the track width, pipe diameter and supports.
The pipe rail specifications have been taken from the health and safety catalogue in force in
the Netherlands for pipe rail systems. For the full contents of this policy regulation, we refer
you to the Ministry of Social Affairs & Employment.

6.1 Inspection before starting operations
Only use this BeNomic EasyLeaf for the purpose it was designed for (see
chapter 4.1: Intended use).
Visually check the BeNomic EasyLeaf for any damage. The BeNomic EasyLeaf
may only be used after having been inspected and found to be in order in terms
of damage, functioning and completeness.
You must check that the platform height securing mechanism works properly.
The following points must be checked before starting up the BeNomic EasyLeaf:
- No loose electrical connections (all the functions and buttons work properly).
- No damaged cables.
- The drive roller and trailing reel must not be damaged and must rotate smoothly.
- Batteries must be charged (see chapter 7.3).
- No 'general' mechanical damage.
- No damage to and impaired visibility of the control components, pictograms, and
symbols.
- All the screens and protective caps and covers are firmly in place and mounted
correctly.
- The support bracket is correctly fixed to the platform.
- Proper working of the 'height adjustment'.
If you are in doubt about the proper functioning of the BeNomic EasyLeaf, you must contact
the technical department of your dealer or the Berg Hortimotive service department, before
starting to work with the BeNomic EasyLeaf.
6.2 Horticulture sector guidelines for pipe rail systems
The BeNomic EasyLeaf has been designed to run on a pipe rail system. This means that there
are rails on the paths between the plants which consists of two pipes of the same diameter
and having a fixed width between them (centre-to-centre measurement). The pipes are often
used as heating pipes and are supported along fixed distances. The pipe rail system must
satisfy the most recent requirements of the health and safety catalogue in force in the
Netherlands for pipe rail systems. In article 6.3 of this sector guideline, the minimum
requirements are given for the pipe rail systems which are taken from the sector guidelines for
pipe rail systems. The pipe rail system on which the BeNomic EasyLeaf is intended to be used,
must also comply with these requirements. All the above-mentioned items should also be
checked periodically in accordance with the Working Equipment Guidelines. It is absolutely
prohibited to use a pipe rail system that does not comply with the health and safety catalogue
in force in the Netherlands or policy regulations. A number of tests are described in the policy
regulations for determining whether it is possible to operate safely with the wagons on the pipe
rail system. These tests should be implemented prior to working with the combination of the
pipe rail wagon and the available pipe rail system.
6.3 Minimum requirements for the pipe rail system
The rails (normally heating pipes) must have an external diameter of either 51 mm or 45 mm
and a wall thickness of at least 2 mm. The minimum material specifications for the pipes are

Translated user manual V9-EN BeNomic EasyLeaf 19 / 44
as follows: Steel 37 (S235JR). The distance between the pipe rail system supports may not
exceed 1.25 metres (centre-to-centre). When combining pipes with a diameter of 45 mm to a
track width of 420 mm, the distance between the rail supports should not exceed 1 metre. The
pipe rail supports used should be in accordance with, or equivalent to the following
specifications: 1.5 mm thick steel base plate with reinforcing profile - base plate width of at
least 115 mm - the length should be such that the base plate protrudes at least 70 mm from
the two vertical supports which carry the load of the pipes. The centre-to-centre distance
between the pipes should be at least 42 cm. The pipes must be properly secured, precisely
installed and with a maximum tilt of no more than 2oin both length and in width. The pipes
must also be properly attached to the supports and the concrete track. Loose fitting pipes must
not be used! A soil test bore should be carried out using probing equipment (see policy
regulation). It should have a so-called cone value on the top layer of more than 0.4 MPa (62
PSI).
The use of rail systems not covered by the policy regulations is permitted on the condition that
a stabilisation test iscarried out in accordance with the policy regulations from which it appears
that the pipe rail wagon / pipe rail system combination would be stable. Furthermore, the
supports for these other pipe rail systems must be installed no more than 1 metre apart, and
the tilt must not exceed 2 degrees in both length and width.
