sure su󰘲cient visibility!
¾Pay attention to the permissible axle loads,
total weight and transport dimensions!
¾Transport equipment, such as e.g. lighting,
warning facilities and possible protective fea-
tures must be checked and installed!
¾Operating elements (ropes, chains, linkages,
etc.) for remote controlled elements must be
routed in such a way, that they will not trigger
unintended movements in any transport and
working positions.
¾Make equipment 󰘰t for road travel and lock as
speci󰘰ed by the manufacturer!
¾Always match the speed to the ambient con-
ditions!
¾When driving up and down hill or across the
slope avoid sudden cornering!
¾When driving on slopes – danger of tipping over!
¾Travel characteristics, steering and braking
ability are in󰘱uenced by attached or hitched
up equipment and ballasting weights. You
should therefore pay attention to su󰘲cient
steering and braking ability!
¾Consider the overhang and/or centrifugal
mass of the machine when cornering.
¾Only start operation of the machine after all
protective features have been installed and
are functional!
¾Keep safety installations in good condition. Re-
place missing or damaged parts.

account for the road, tra󰘲c, sight and weather
conditions, the driving characteristics of the
machine and the in󰘱uences of the sprayer
implement.
¾Use only speci󰘰ed fuels according to DIN EN
590 or DIN EN 14214 for bio diesel fuel.
1.6.2 Working with the machine
¾Become familiar with all equipment and con-
trol elements of the machine as well as their
functions before starting work.
¾Wear tight 󰘰tting clothes! Loose clothes in-
crease the danger of being caught or pulled
in by rotating or moveable components.
¾Only start operation of the machine, if all pro-
tective features have been installed and are
fully functional in protective position!
¾Pay attention to the maximum payload of the
sprayer implement and the permissible axle
load of the machine! If necessary drive with
the hopper only partly 󰘰lled.
¾Persons are not permitted to stay inside the
working range of the machine!
¾Persons are not permitted to stay inside the
turning and slewing range of the machine!
¾The engine must only be started from the
driver's seat. The engine must not be started
by shorting the electrical connections on the
starter motor, because the machine might
immediately start to move.
18

¾Use accessing aids and steps only at stand-
still. During operation it is not permitted to
ride on the machine as a passenger! Parts
actuated by external forces (e.g. hydraulics)
have crushing and shearing points! Power op-
erated machine parts must only be actuated
if persons keep a su󰘲cient safety distances
to the machine!
¾Secure the machine against unintended start-
ing and accidental rolling before leaving it. For
this purpose apply the parking brake, shut
down the engine and pull out the ignition key.
1.6.3 Changing equipment
¾Secure the machine against unintended roll-
ing away!
¾Secure raised frame parts you have to work
under with suitable supports!
¾Caution! Danger of injury caused by protrud-
ing parts (boom parts, etc.)!
¾Do not step on moving or other rotating parts
to climb onto the machine. You could fall and
be seriously injured.
1.6.4 Hydraulic system
WARNING
Infection of the skin caused by hydraulic oil!
¾The hydraulic system is under high pressure!
¾Ensure correct connection of the hydraulic
hoses!
¾The hydraulic system must be depressurized
before connecting hydraulic hoses!
¾Blocking actuators on the machine, which
serve the purpose of directly executing hy-
draulic or electric movements of components,
such as e.g. folding, slewing and pushing
processes, is prohibited.
The corresponding movements must auto-
matically stop once you release the corre-
sponding 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
¾Before starting work in the hydraulic system
- Place down/park the machine
- depressurize the hydraulic system
- shut down the engine
- apply the parking brake
- pull out the ignition key
¾Pressure accumulator:
Depending on the equipment 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 accumulator
is still preloaded by gas pressure. Always
depressurize the pressure accumulator
before starting work on the hydraulics.
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.
¾Have the hydraulic hoses inspected by an ex-
pert under occupational safety related aspects
at least once every year!
¾Replace hydraulic hoses if damaged or exces-
sively aged! Use only genuine hydraulic hoses
from HORSCH LEEB AS!
¾The utilization period of hydraulic hoses
should not exceed six years, including a pos-
sible storage time of maximum two years.
Even if properly stored and under permissible
stress, hoses and hose connections are sub-
ject 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.
19

¾Never 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 se-
vere injury! If injured by hydraulic oil, consult
a doctor immediately! Danger of infection!
¾Due to the possible danger of severe infec-
tions, one must use appropriate auxiliary
means when looking for leakages!
¾Power sockets and connectors (electric,
pneumatic) should be identi󰘰ed by colour to
rule out operating errors.
¾In order to avoid accidents caused by unde-
sired hydraulic movements or hydraulic move-
ments triggered by other persons (children,
passenger), the control units on the machine
must be secured or locked when not in use
or in transport position.
1.6.5 Electrical system
Always disconnect the battery (negative
pole) before starting work in the electric
system!
¾Use only the speci󰘰ed fuses! The use of too
strong fuses will destroy the electric system.
Fire hazard!
¾Make 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!
¾Always cover the positive battery pole with the
dedicated covering. Danger of explosion in
case of short-circuit to ground!
¾Avoid sparking and naked 󰘱ames in the vicin-
ity of the battery! Danger of explosion!
¾The machine can be equipped with electronic
components and parts, the function of which
can be a󰘯ected by the transmission of electro-
magnetic waves from other equipment. Such
in󰘱uences can lead to the endangerment of
persons, if the following safety notes are not
complied with.
In case of a subsequent installation of elec-
tric appliances and/or components on the
machine, with connection to the on-board
power supply, the user in his own responsi-
bility must check whether this installation will
cause faults 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/EEC and are identi󰘰ed
with the CE-sign.
1.6.6 Battery
¾Maintenance work on the battery requires ap-
propriate knowledge and proper tools!
¾Keep open 󰘰re, burning matches and sparks
away from the battery! Danger of explosion!
¾Never check the charge level of the battery
by connecting both poles to a metal object.
Use a Voltmeter.
¾Do not recharge a frozen battery;
Danger of explosion! Heat the battery up
to 16° C beforehand.
¾Battery acid can cause severe injury by cau-
terization of skin and eyes. Wear suitable
protective clothing.
1.6.7 Cooling system
The heated up cooling system is under pressure!
You should therefore only remove the radiator
cap after the engine has been shut down and
cooled down. Danger of injuring!
1.6.8 Brake system
¾Adjustment and repair work on the brake
system must only be carried out in expert
workshops or established brake service
workshops.
¾Immediately stop the machine in case of brake
system malfunctions. Have the malfunction
remedied immediately!
