These persons must have been trained for their
respective activities by the owner or other quali-
󰘰ed experts. This refers to the following activities:
• Road transport
• 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".
Children in danger
Children are not able to assess dangers and may
behave unpredictably. Children are therefore
especially endangered:
¾Keep children away from the machine.
¾Especially when starting to drive and before
triggering machine movements you must make
sure that the danger zone is free of children.
¾Shut 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!

¾Respiratory masks and protective gloves when
handling dressing or dressed seed (follow the
instructions of the pickling agent manufacturers)
¾Determine the personal protective equipment
for the corresponding work place.
¾Provide effective protective equipment in
proper condition.
¾Never wear rings, bracelets or other jewellery.
Safety in trafc
DANGER
No passengers are allowed to ride on the
machine!
¾Pay attention to the permissible transport
widths and heights. Pay attention to the trans-
port height when passing under bridges and
low hanging overhead power lines.
¾Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tyre
load bearing capacities and total weights, in
order to ensure su󰘲cient steering and braking
capabilities. 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".
¾Clean soil from the folding areas before fold-
ing up. Otherwise there could be damage to
the mechanics.
¾If present: Secure the hydraulic cylinders on
undercarriage and drawbar in transport posi-
tion against uncontrolled movements using
aluminium clips, see chapter “Connecting and
transport position”.
¾Assemble lighting, warning and protective
features and check the function.
¾Before driving on roads clean the entire ma-
chine from picked up dirt.

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.
¾The machine must only be put into operation
after receiving instructions by employees of the
authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee.
¾The machine registration form must be com-
pleted and returned to HORSCH.
All protective features and safety equipment,
such as detachable protective devices (wheel
chocks, etc.), must be correctly in place and
reliably functioning before the machine is put
into operation.
¾Check nuts and bolts, especially the ones on
wheels and cultivation tools regularly for tight
󰘰t and retighten if necessary.
¾Check 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:
¾Hydraulics
¾Brakes (if available)
¾Connecting features
¾Protective features
¾Lighting
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:
¾Immediately shut down and secure the machine.
¾If possible locate and rectify the faults by fol-
lowing these operating instructions.
¾Rectify possible causes for damage (e.g. re-
move coarse dirt and tighten loose screws).
¾Have 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 coupling of the machine to the pulling tool
of the tractor causes dangers, which could result
in severe accidents.
¾Strictly comply with all operating instructions:
• These operating instructions
• Operating instructions of the tractor
¾Exercise special caution when reversing the trac-
tor. Never stand between tractor and machine.
¾Only park the machine on a 󰘰rm and level sur-
face. Before unhitching the towed machine,
lower it to the ground.
¾Secure the machine against rolling away.
9

Hydraulics
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Escaping 󰘱uid can penetrate 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.
¾Do not connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor
before both hydraulic systems on machine
and tractor are de-pressurised.
¾Lower all hydraulically lifted parts (e.g. wings,
packer, undercarriage, etc.) to the ground
before performing any work on the hydraulic
system. Depressurise the hydraulics on the
tractor and implement side.
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 and lock the control unit on the tractor
if not in use!
¾Replace hydraulic hoses at the latest after six
years, see Maintenance overview.
Pressure accumulator
The hydraulic system may be equipped with
pressure accumulators.
¾Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on
pressure accumulators. Even when empty,
the tanks are still preloaded by gas pressure.
The hydraulic system must be depressurized
before maintenance!
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.
¾After hitching the machine and before trans-
portation you should always check the func-
tion and condition of the brake system.
¾Check the setting on the brake pressure
regulator.
¾Always release the parking brake before start-
ing to drive.
¾Always 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 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.
¾Keep a safe distance to electric high voltage
power lines with the folded up machine or when
unfolding or folding the machine.
¾Do not unfold or fold the wings in the vicinity
of pylons and power lines.
¾Never leave or access the machine under
overhead power lines to avoid possible risks
of electric shock or voltage 󰘱ashover.
10

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).
¾Do not leave the cabin.
¾Do not touch any metal objects.
¾Do not create a conductive connection to ground.
¾Warn persons: DO NOT come near the ma-
chine. Electric voltages at the ground can
cause severe electric shock.
¾Wait 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:
¾Jump away from the machine. Ensure a safe
stand when jumping. Do not touch the outside
of the machine.
¾Move 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.
¾Also pay attention to the max. permitted loads
for the tractor.
Use in the eld
DANGER
No passengers are allowed to ride on the
machine!
¾Check the area immediately around the machine
(for children!) before driving o󰘯 and commission-
ing the machine. Ensure su󰘲cient visibility.
¾Ensure 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.
¾Do not remove any of the mandatory and
supplied protective devices.
¾Stay clear of the operating range of hydrauli-
cally operated parts.
¾Do 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
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 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.
11

Fertiliser and dressed seed
Inappropriate handling of fertiliser and dressed
seed can cause poisoning and death.
¾Follow the information given in the safety data
sheet of the manufacturer. If necessary ask the
dealer for the corresponding safety data sheet.
¾Determine 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.
¾Do not allow operating materials to drain out
into the environment.
¾Take up drained operating materials with
absorbent material or sand, 󰘰ll it into a leak
tight tank 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.
¾Do not make any structural changes or ex-
tensions to the machine that have not been
approved by HORSCH.
¾Structural changes and extensions must only
be made in an authorized workshop or by an
operator who has been trained by HORSCH.
¾Comply with country speci󰘰c instructions for
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.
12

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.
¾Conform with prescribed schedules for repeti-
tive tests or inspections.
¾Service the machine according to the main-
tenance plan, see chapter "Care and main-
tenance".
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.
¾De-pressurise the hydraulic system and lower
or support the implement.
¾Prior to working on the electrical system,
disconnect it from the electric current supply.
¾Before 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.
¾When cleaning with high pressure or steam
cleaning equipment 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 other damage.
Remedy any faults immediately!
¾Screw connections loosened for the purpose
of care and maintenance work must be
retighten after work is completed.
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.
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.
13

Danger zone
The area marked red indicates the danger zone
of the machine:
The danger zone around the machine poses the
following endangerments:
• Accidental operation of the hydraulic system
can trigger dangerous movements of the
machine.
• With the drive still running, machine parts may
rotate or swing out.
• Hydraulically raised machine parts can lower
slowly and unnoticed.
Failing to pay attention to the danger zone can
result in severe or even fatal physical injuries.
¾Do not stand under lifted loads. Lower such
loads to the ground 󰘰rst.
¾Instruct persons to leave the danger zone
around the machine and tractor before any
machine movements.
¾Before working in the danger zone of the ma-
