2.4 Tail gate safeguard
If any short-time maintenance or assembly work is carried out
with the tail gate open, the tail gate must be hydraulically
secured against lowering: use shut-off valve (on the
maintenance platform). When the valve is shut off, the actuating
lever is at right angles to the flow direction (Figure 2).
In case of longer maintenance or assembly work with the tail
gate open, the tail gate must (in addition to the hydraulic
safeguard) be mechanically secured against lowering - using
suitable means.
After completion of any maintenance and/or assembly work
reset the valve to its initial position (along flow direction, Figure
3) and/or remove the mechanical safeguard.
2.5 Maintenance Platform and Ladder
Attention, danger of falling!
Never step on the maintenance platform [14] (Figure 4), while
the machine is in motion. Before stepping on the maintenance
platform: stop machine, switch-off power take-off shaft and
tractor motor and wait for standstill of the machine.
Climb and leave the maintenance platform exclusively via the
ladder [10]. Never step on the ladder when folded up – always
fold down the ladder before using it.
 (Figure 4) To climb the maintenance platform: fold down the
ladder [10].
 (Figure 4) Before the machine can move on: fold up and lock
the ladder [10] again.
(Figure 4, Figure 5) For transportation the railing [15] is
removed from the maintenance platform in the factory and
enclosed with the machine. The railing must be mounted again
before commissioning of the machine:
 Take the dismounted railing [15] out of the machine.
 Mount the railing [15] to the maintenance platform using the
6 enclosed screws [16] (Figure 5).
