which can cause injury to persons or damage to
the machine if operated incorrectly.
¾Do not connect hydraulic hoses before the
hydraulics on vehicle and structure are de-
pressurised.
¾The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
¾Use only appropriate means when searching
for leaks. Repair any damage immediately!
Oil sprays can cause injuries and 󰘰re!
¾Power sockets and connectors on the hydrau-
lic connections should be marked in order to
exclude operating errors.
¾In the case of injury, contact a doctor imme-
diately!
¾Secure or lock the control units if not in use!
¾Replace hydraulic hoses at the latest after six
years, see "Maintenance overview".

10

Changing equipment / wear items
¾Secure the machine against unintended roll-
ing away!
¾Secure raised machine parts you have to work
under with suitable supports!
¾Caution! Danger of injury caused by protrud-
ing parts!
Do not step on rotating parts when climbing onto
the machine. These could rotate and you could
be seriously injured by falling down.
Crop protection agent and
liquid fertiliser
Improper handling of crop protection agents and
liquid fertiliser may cause poisoning and death.
¾Follow the speci󰘰cations and instructions in
the safety data sheet of the crop protection
agent manufacturer. If necessary, ask the
dealer for the safety data sheet or safety
notes.
¾Determine and provide the personal protective
out󰘰t as speci󰘰ed by the manufacturer of the

¾Carry all relevant information about the crop
protection agents used (safety data sheets,
instructions for use, etc.) along.
¾Crop protection agent must not be transported
in the vehicle cab. They must be stored safely
in the transport container and secured again
toppling over.
¾The water quality (the water hardness and
mineral content in particular) in󰘱uences the
property of some fertilisers and crop protec-
tion agents. Precipitation and de󰘱occulation
may cause deposits in 󰘰lters.
Example: Extremely hard 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!
¾Observe the data on compatibility of crop pro-
tection agents with materials of the machine!
¾Do not illuviate any crop protection agents that
have a tendency to sticking or solidi󰘰cation!
¾Wear suitable protective clothing when han-
dling crop protection agents.
¾Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling crop
protection agents!
¾Keep the machine and crop protection agent
out of the reach of children!
¾Always ensure a su󰘲cient water supply in the
machine to be able to wash o󰘯 crop protection
agent in events of emergency.
¾In case of physical contact with crop protection
agents you may need to consult a physician.
¾Thoroughly clean hands and face after the
end of work.
¾Extended exposure time to crop protection
agents may cause damages to components
of the machine. Follow the notes of the crop
protection agent manufacturers.
¾The application notes of the crop protection
agent manufacturers must be observed when
mixing di󰘯erent crop protection agents.
11

Environmental protection
Crop protection agents and liquid fertiliser as
well as operating materials such as hydraulic
oil, lubricants, etc. can damage the environment
and the health of persons.
¾Do not allow operating materials to drain out
into the environment.
¾Pick up drained operating materials with
absorbent material or sand, 󰘰ll it into a leak
tight tank and dispose of in accordance with
statutory regulations.
¾Do not 󰘰ll crop protection sprayers with water
from public bodies of water.
¾Filling in water protection zones is not permit-
ted, depending on the crop protection agent
used! Inquire with the "Water board" to be on
the safe side!
¾Observe the national and country-speci󰘰c
regulations and standards (e.g. water protec-
tion areas).
Retrotting and
conversions
Structural changes not approved by HORSCH
may a󰘯ect the functionality and operational
safety of the machine and will void any warranty
claim.
HORSCH is not liable for damages to life and
limb as well as property damages resulting from
unapproved retro󰘰tting and conversions.
¾Do not perform any structural changes to the
pulling tool of the machine.
¾Do not make any structural changes or ex-
tensions to the machine that have not been
approved by HORSCH.
¾Modi󰘰cations and extensions approved by
HORSCH are only to be performed at an au-
thorized workshop or by an operator who has
been trained by HORSCH for this purpose.
¾Comply with country-speci󰘰c instructions for
weights, weight distribution and dimensions.
For equipment in󰘱uencing the weight or weight
distribution the regulations concerning towing
facility, support and axle load must be checked
and complied with.
In case of changes concerning data mentioned
on the type plate, a new type plate with updated
data must be attached.
In case of changes which concern the data in
the type approval, this type approval needs to
be renewed.
Care and maintenance
Inappropriate care and maintenance put the
operational safety of the machine at risk. This
can lead to accidents with severe or even fatal
physical injuries.
DANGER
¾Danger of poisoning - Do not climb into
the spraying mixture container!
¾Conform to prescribed schedules for repetitive
tests or inspections.
¾Service machine according to the maintenance
plan.
¾Service the carrier vehicle according to the
manufacturer's speci󰘰cations. Pay attention to
the operating instructions of the carrier vehicle.
¾Only perform the work described in these
operating instructions.
¾Before starting maintenance and service work
park the machine on level and 󰘰rm ground
and secure it against rolling away. Clean the
machine, especially the parts contaminated
by spraying mixture. Wear the stipulated
protective out󰘰t when cleaning.
¾Depressurize the hydraulic system.
¾Prior to working on the electrical system,
disconnect it from the electric current supply.
¾When performing welding work on the ma-
chine, disconnect the cables from computers
and other electronic components. The ground
connection must be as close as possible to
the welding point.
12

¾Secure all operating media like compressed
air and hydraulics against unintended com-
missioning.
¾Repair work inside the spraying mixture con-
tainer must only be performed after thorough
cleaning and wearing protective out󰘰t with a
respirator. This work must be monitored by a
second person outside the spraying mixture
container for safety reasons! Ensure su󰘲cient
ventilation of the spraying mixture container!
¾Before cleaning the machine with high pres-
sure cleaner cover all openings, which should
stay clear of water, steam or cleaning agents
for reasons of safety or operation. Do not aim
the water jet directly on electric or electronic
components and bearings.
¾When cleaning with high pressure cleaning
equipment or steam jet keep a distance of at
least 50 cm to machine components.
¾After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for
leaks and loose connections.
¾Check for cha󰘰ng and signs of damage. Rem-
edy any faults immediately!
¾Screw connections loosened for the purpose
of care and maintenance work must be
retighten after work is completed.
¾Dispose of oils, greases and 󰘰lters according
to regulations!
¾If protective features are subjected to wear,
they must be inspected at regular intervals
and replaced in due time
¾Do not clean new machines with a steam jet
of a high pressure cleaner. The paint takes
approx. 3 months to cure and could be dam-
aged before this time.
¾Pay attention to the following when repairing
the machine that has been used for liquid
fertilising with ammonium nitrate - carbonyl
diamide solution:
Residues of ammonium nitrate - carbonyl
diamide solution may form salt on or inside
the spraying mixture container through the
evaporation of water. This results in pure am-
monium nitrate and carbonyl diamide. In its
pure form, ammonium nitrate in connection
with organic matter, such as carbonyl diamide,
becomes explosive, if critical temperatures
(caused by e.g. welding work, grinding) are
reached during repair work.
By thoroughly cleaning the spraying mixture
container or the parts to be repaired with
water, this risk can be eliminated, because
the salt of the ammonium nitrate - carbonyl
diamide solution is water-soluble.
¾All other maintenance and repair tasks,
which are not described in the operating
instructions, must only be carried out by
an authorized professional workshop or
by an operator who has been trained by
HORSCH for this purpose.
