For transport on public roads, drive only
with empty seed hopper.
For transport on public roads observe
the permitted maximum speed in the
type approval!
The speci󰘰cations in the type approval
document or in the technical data are
decisive for the design dependent top
speed.
Always match the travel mode 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 orderly performed commis-
sioning. 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 em-
ployee.
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.
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.

Coupling 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 (Chapter Con-
necting, Transport position and Parking)
• Operating instructions of the tractor
¾Exercise special caution when reversing the
tractor. 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.
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 hydraulics has several functions,
which can cause injury to persons or damage to
the machine if operated incorrectly.
¾Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor only
when the hydraulics on tractor and machine
are depressurised.
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 hydraulics must be depressurized before
maintenance!
PTO-shaft / propshaft
Persons can be caught, pulled in and seriously
injured by the rotating PTO-shaft or propshaft.
Before switching on the PTO-shaft:
¾Make sure that the PTO-shaft guard is in place

¾Before assembly/disassembly of the prop-
shaft as well as before all interventions on
the machine:
Uncouple the PTO-shaft (shut o󰘯 from the
tractor cab), switch o󰘯 the tractor engine, pull
o󰘯 the ignition key and wait until all parts have
come to a standstill.
¾Follow the operating instructions for the
propshaft.
Technical limiting values
If the technical limiting values of the machine are
not observed, 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.

¾For machines with valid type approval only
pulling tools may be attached that are covered
by the type approval. Attaching pulling tools
not covered by the type approval will void the
registration.
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)!
¾Assume ergonomic working postures with any
assembly work.
Do not use the 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.
¾Follow the information given in the safety data
sheet of the manufacturer. If necessary, ask
the dealer for the safety data sheet or safety
notes.

out󰘰t as speci󰘰ed by the manufacturer.
11

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.
¾Pick up drained operating materials with ab-
sorbent material or sand, 󰘰ll it into a leak tight
container and dispose of in accordance with
statutory regulations.
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.

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.
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 to prescribed schedules for repetitive
tests or inspections.
¾Service the machine according to the
maintenance plan, see chapter Care and
maintenance.
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.
¾Depressurise the hydraulic system and lower
or support the implement.
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.
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 at electrical or electronic
components, bearings or the fan. When clean-
ing with high pressure cleaning equipment or
steam jets keep a distance of at least 50 cm
to machine components.
¾Hopper, metering units, hoses and coulters
are contaminated with fertilisers and dressed
seed. Wear suitable protective out󰘰t when
cleaning. Avoid contact and do not breath
the exhaust air.
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.
¾Do 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.
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.
