NOTE
These work activities may be carried out only by
persons trained by HORSCH for this purpose.
WARNING
Increased danger of accidents during commis-
sioning.
¾Observe the notes in the safety chapter.
Delivery
The machine with implements is normally de-
livered completely assembled on a low loader.
If parts or assembly groups had to be disas-
sembled for transport purposes, these will be
assembled locally by our distributor or 󰘰eld
technician.
Depending on the design of the low loader the
machine can be unloaded with a tractor, or
needs to be lifted o󰘯 with suitable lifting gear
(forklift truck or crane).
¾Use only lifting equipment and lifting gear with
adequate lifting capacity and approval!
Lifting and lashing points are identi󰘰ed by labels.
When using other lifting points pay careful at-
tention to the centre of gravity and the weight
distribution. These points must, in any case, only
be on the frame of the machine.
Machines with E-Manager
On machines with the E-Manager drill controls
the hydraulic function "Lift/Lower" is possible
without any additional installation work.
These machines can be unloaded from the low
loader without having to install the basic equip-
ment beforehand.
The other hydraulic functions such as "Folding"
or "Bout marker" can only be operated after the
basic equipment has been installed on the tractor.
Transport
Depending on country-speci󰘰c regulations and
working width the equipment can be transported
on public roads either attached to a tractor or on
a trailer or low loader.
¾The permissible dimensions and weights for
transport must be complied with.
¾The tractor must be large enough so that
su󰘲cient steering and braking abilities are
ensured.
¾If the machine is hitched up in two-point mode,
the tractor link arms must be blocked against
swinging sideways.
¾On a trailer or low loader the machine must
be secured with tensioning straps or other
means.
¾Attach lifting tackle only at the specially
marked points.
Installation
Instruction of the operator and initial installation
of the machine will be carried out by our service
engineers or distributors.
Any prior use of the machine is prohibited
The machine can only be released for opera-
tion after the instruction session conducted by
