• Road transportation
• Application and set-up work
• Operation
• Maintenance
• Troubleshooting and repair
Operators trained by HORSCH
Furthermore, for certain activities the corre-
sponding personnel must have been trained by
service personnel from HORSCH. This refers to
the following activities:
• Loading and transport
• Commissioning
• Troubleshooting and repair
• Waste disposal
Certain work concerning maintenance and repair
must only be carried out by an expert workshop.
Such work is identi󰘰ed with the additional com-
ment “Workshop work”.
Endangered children
Children are not able to assess dangers and may
behave unpredictably. Children are therefore
especially endangered:
Keep children away from the machine.
Especially when starting to drive and before
triggering machine movements you must
make sure that the danger zone is free of
children.
Shut down the tractor before leaving it.
Children can trigger dangerous machine
movements. An insu󰘲ciently secured ma-
chine parked without being attended poses
a danger for playing children!
7

safety gloves
Determine the personal protective out󰘰t´for
the corresponding work place.
Provide effective protective equipment in
proper condition.
Never wear rings, bracelets or other jewellery.
Safety in trafc
DANGER
No passengers are allowed to ride on the
machine!
Pay attention to the permissible transport widths
and heights. Pay attention to the transport height
when passing under bridges and low hanging
overhead power lines.
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tyre
carrying capacities and total weights, in order to
ensure su󰘲cient steering and braking capabili-
ties. The front axle must be loaded with at least
20 % of the tractor weight.
For road transport the machine must be set to
transport position. The machine must have been
folded up and secured, see chapter “Folding” and
“Hitching up and transport position”.
Clean soil from the folding areas before folding
up. Otherwise there could be damage to the
mechanics.
Assemble lighting, warning and protective
equipment and check the function.
Before driving on roads clean the entire ma-
chine from picked up dirt.
Handling is a󰘯ected by the connected equipment.
Pay particular attention to the wide overhang
and the centrifugal mass of the working imple-
ment when cornering.
Lifted machine (Three-point hydraulics):
Consider the limited stability and steerability
of the tractor.
For transport on public roads pay atten-
tion to the permissible top speed men-
tioned in the operating licence!
The speci󰘰cations in the type approval
documenht or in the technical data are de-
cisive for the design dependent top speed.
Always match the travel speed to the
road conditions to avoid accidents and
damage to the undercarriage.
Consider your personal abilities, carriage
way, tra󰘲c, sight and weather conditions.
Safety in operation
Commissioning
The operational safety of the machine cannot
be guaranteed without an orderly performed
commissioning. This can lead to accidents with
severe or even fatal physical injuries.
The machine must only be put into operation
after receiving instructions by employees of the
authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee.
The machine registration form must be com-
pleted and returned to HORSCH.
All protective features and safety equipment,
such as detachable protective devices (wedges,
etc.), must be correctly in place and reliably func-
tioning before the machine is put into operation.
Check nuts and bolts, especially the ones on
wheels and cultivation tools regularly for tight
󰘰t and retighten if necessary.
Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals,
see maintenance overview.

Damage to the machine
Damage to the machine can impair the op-
erational safety of the machine and cause ac-
cidents. This can lead to severe or even fatal
physical injuries.
The following machine parts are particularly
important for safety:
Hydraulic system
Brakes (as far as available)
Connecting features
Protective features
Lighting
If in doubt about the safety relevant status of the
machine, e.g. in case of leaking out operating
󰘱uids, visible damage or unexpected changes
in travel behaviour:
Immediately shut down and secure the machine.
If possible locate and rectify the faults by fol-
lowing these operating instructions.
Rectify possible causes for damage (e.g. re-
move coarse dirt and tighten loose screws).
Have damage, that could a󰘯ect safety and
that cannot be recti󰘰ed by yourself, recti󰘰ed
by a quali󰘰ed expert workshop.
Hitching and unhitching
Faulty hitching up of the machine to the pulling
tool of the tractor causes dangers, whic´h could
result in severe accidents.
Strictly comply with all operating instructions:
• These operating instructions (chapter “Hitch-
ing up and transport position” and “Parking”)
• Operating instructions of the tractor
Take special care when reversing the tractor.
Never stand between tractor and machine.
Only park the machine on a 󰘰rm and level
surface. Before unhitching the machine, lower
it to the ground.
Secure the machine against rolling away.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can pen-
etrate the skin and cause serious injuries. In the
event of injury, consult a doctor immediately.
The machine's hydraulic system has several
functions, which can cause injury to persons or
damage to the machine, if operated incorrectly.
Do not connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor,
before both hydraulic systems on machine
and tractor are de-pressurised.
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
Use only appropriate means when searching
for leaks. Repair any damage immediately!
Oil sprays can cause injuries and 󰘰re!
Power sockets and connectors on the hydrau-
lic connections should be marked in order to
exclude operating errors.
In the case of injury, contact a doctor imme-
diately!
Secure and lock the control unit on the tractor,
if not in use!
Replace hydraulic hoses at the latest after six
years, see “Maintenance overview”.
Pressure accumulator
The hydraulic system may be equipped with a
pressure accumulators.
Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on pres-
sure accumulators. Even when empty, the ac-
cumulator is still preloaded by gas pressure.
The hydraulic system must be depressurized
before maintenance!
9

Brake system
Depending on the equipment, the machines can
be equipped with a pneumatically or hydrauli-
cally operated service brake system.
For road travel the brake system must always
be connected and fully functional.
After hitching the machine and before trans-
portation you should always check the func-
tion and condition of the brake system.
Check the setting on the brake pressure
regulator.
Always release the parking brake before start-
ing to drive.
Always secure the machine against rolling
away and apply the parking brake before
unhitching.
Adjustments and repair work on the brake sys-
tem must only be carried out in a professional
workshop or by an operator, who has been
specially trained by HORSCH.
Overhead power lines
When unfolding or folding the wings, the ma-
chine may reach the height of overhead power
lines. Possible voltage 󰘱ashover to the machine
causing fatal electric shock or 󰘰re.
Keep a safe distance to electric high voltage
power lines with the folded up machine or when
unfolding or folding the machine.
Do not unfold or fold the wings in the vicinity
of pylons and power lines.
Never leave or access the machine under
overhead power lines to avoid possible risks
of electric shock or voltage 󰘱ashover.
What to do in case of voltage ashover
Voltage 󰘱ashover generates high electric volt-
ages on the outside of the machine. This results
in extreme voltage di󰘯erences at the ground
around the machine. Wide strides, laying on the
ground or supporting yourself with your hands
on the ground can cause life-threatening electric
currents (pace voltage).
Do not leave the cabin.
Do not touch any metal objects.
Do not create a conductive connection to
ground.
Warn persons: DO NOT come near the ma-
chine. Electric voltages at the ground can
cause severe electric shock.
Wait for professional rescuers. The overhead
power line needs to be switched o󰘯.
If persons need to leave the cabin despite the
voltage 󰘱ashover, e.g. in case of a potential life-
threatening risk of 󰘰re:
Jump away from the machine. Ensure a safe
stand when jumping. Do not touch the outside
of the machine.
Move away from the machine with short step-
ping strides.
Technical limiting values
If the technical limiting values of the machine
are not complied with, the machine may get
damaged. This can lead to accidents with severe
or even fatal physical injuries.
The following technical limiting values are of
particular importance for safety:
• permissible total weight
• maximum axle loads
• maximum drawbar load
• top speed
See chapter “Technical data”, type plate and
type approval.
Also pay attention to the max. permitted loads
for the tractor.

Use in the eld
DANGER
No passengers are allowed to ride on the
machine!
Check the area around the machine (for chil-
dren!) before setting o󰘯 and starting operation
of the machine. Ensure su󰘲cient visibility.
Ensure su󰘲cient stability of the machine in
case of longitudinal or transverse inclination
when working in uneven terrain. Pay attention
to the limiting values for the tractor!
Do not remove any of the mandatory and
supplied protective devices.
Stay clear of the operating range of hydrauli-
cally operated parts.
Do not drive backwards with the machine
lowered. The components have only been
designed for forward travel in the 󰘰eld and
may be damaged when reversing.
Changing equipment / wear items
Secure the machine against unintended roll-
ing away!
Secure raised frame parts you have to work
under with suitable supports!
Caution! Danger of injury caused by projecting
parts (e.g. coulters)!
Do not use packer tyres or other rotating parts
to climb on the machine. These could rotate and
you could be seriously injured by falling down.
Fertiliser and dressed
seed
Inappropriate handling of fertiliser and dressed
seed can cause poisoning and death.
Follow the information given in the safety
data sheet of the manufacturer. If necessary
ask the dealer for the corresponding safety
data sheet.
Determine and provide the personal protective
out󰘰t as speci󰘰ed by the manufacturer.
Environmental protection
Operating materials such as hydraulic oil, lubri-
cants, etc. can damage the environment and the
health of persons.
Do not allow operating materials to drain out
into the environment.
Take up drained out operating materials with
absorbent material or sand, 󰘰ll it into a leak
tight container and dispose of in accordance
with statutory regulations.

Retrots
Structural changes and extensions can adverse-
ly a󰘯ect the functionality and the operational
safety of the machine. This can lead to severe
or even fatal physical injuries.
Do not make any structural changes or exten-
sions to the machine that lack the approval
of HORSCH.
Structural changes and extensions must only
be made in an authorized workshop or by an
operator who has been trained by HORSCH.
Comply with country speci󰘰c instructions fr
weights, weight distribution and dimensions.
For equipment in󰘱uencing the weight or weight
distribution one must check and comply with the
regulations concerning towing facilities, support
and axle loads.
For machines without brakes a brake system
may need to be retro󰘰tted, if the permissible
weight limits are exceeded.
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 puts the
operational safety of the machine at risk. This
can lead to accidents with severe or even fatal
physical injuries.
Conform with prescribed schedules for repeti-
tive tests or inspections.
Service the machine according to the
maintenance plan, see chapter “Care and
maintenance”.
Only perform the work described in these
operating instructions.
Before starting maintenance and service work
park the machine on level and 󰘰rm ground and
secure it against rolling away.
De-pressurise the hydraulic system and lower
or support the implement.
Prior to working on the electrical system,
disconnect it from the electric power supply.
Before cleaning the machine with high pres-
sure cleaning equipment 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.
When cleaning with high pressure or steam
cleaning equipment keep a distance of at least
50 cm to machine components.
After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for
leaks and loose connections.
Check for cha󰘰ng and signs of other damage.
Remedy any faults immediately!
Screw connections loosened for the purpose
of maintenance and service work must be
retighten after work is completed.
All 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.
Do not clean new machines with a steam jet
of a high pressure cleaner. The paint takes
approx. 3 months to cure and could thus be
damaged if this time has not yet expired.
