Safety
Do not remove the protective equipment
The protective equipment must not be removed or by-passed. Check all
protective equipment before starting the machine. Unprotected ma-
chine parts can cause serious or fatal injury.
Riding on the machine is strictly prohibited
People or objects must never be transported on the machine. Riding on
the machine poses a risk to life and limb and is strictly prohibited.
Height of the machine and overhead power lines
If a height of 4.00 m is exceeded when folding the machine in and out,
the machine must not be folded in the vicinity of live overhead power
lines. Danger of electrocution! Should the machine come into contact
with a live overhead power line:
•Do not attempt to exit the tractor cabin
•Do not touch any metal parts on the tractor
•Do not create any conductive contact with the ground
•Warn all persons in the area not to approach the tractor or the
machine
•Wait for help from professional emergency service personnel as
power in the live overhead power line must first be switched off
Never climb onto the machine beneath live overhead power lines. The
voltage can jump across even if the lines are not actually touching the
machine.
Check the hazard area
Before driving off, folding out, and operating the machine and during op-
eration, check its hazard area. Make sure that you have an adequate
view. Do not begin work until the hazard area is cleared of any persons
or objects. Information regarding the hazard area can be found in the
corresponding chapter.
Chapter »Chopping«, section »Task«, Page 30.
Parts could be ejected from the machine at high speed in certain cir-
cumstances. The hazard area, particularly in front of and behind the ma-
chine, must be cleared of any persons, animals or objects before start-
ing.
Any use of the machine without verification of the hazard area can lead
to serious or fatal accidents.
Retighten all nuts, bolts and screws
Nuts, bolts and screws should be checked at regular intervals and tight-
ened if necessary. Screws can come loose unnoticed while operating.
Damage to the machine or accidents may be caused as a result.
What to do in the event of a fault
In the event of a malfunction, shut down and secure the machine imme-
diately. The fault may be eliminated immediately, or a specialist work-
shop must be assigned the task. Further operation of the machine can
lead to damage to the machine or injury to persons.

Safety
Care and mainte-
nance
Observe the care and maintenance intervals
Observe prescribed intervals for maintenance checks and inspections
specified in the operating manual. If these periods are not observed, this
can lead to damage to the machine, poor quality of work or accidents.
Use original replacement parts
Many components have special properties that are essential for the sta-
bility and correct operation of the machine. Unsuitable spare parts or ac-
cessory parts or incorrectly performed repairs or changes can cause
damage to the machine, accidents or serious injury.
Müthing strongly recommends using only approved original Müthing ac-
cessories and spare parts. Müthing can guarantee the safety, reliability
and suitability of these parts only.
Use of non-original Müthing spare parts shall invalidate any warranty
claims.
When performing any care and maintenance work:
•Switch off the PTO stub shaft
•Depressurise the hydraulic system
•Park the tractor safely, switch off the engine
•Secure the tractor against being started up by third parties
•Make sure the machine is standing securely. Provide additional sup-
port as required
•Do not use parts of the machine as climbing aids; use only secure
steps, ladders or other means of access
•Secure the machine against rolling away
•Never reach into the V-belt while it is moving
It is only possible to guarantee work safety during care or maintenance
work through observing these regulations.
Turn off the electrical supply
Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, disconnect the sys-
tem from the power supply. Systems supplied with electrical power can
cause damage to equipment and personal injury.

MU-L

Safety
Replace hydraulic hoses
Replace hydraulic hoses every six years. Hydraulic hoses can age with-
out any externally visible damage. Defect hydraulic lines can lead to se-
vere or fatal injuries.
Caution when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner
The machine can be cleaned using either water or a steam jet. Only use
a low pressure to clean bearings, fans, signal mixer units, plastic parts
and hydraulic hoses. Excessively high pressures can cause damage to
these parts.
Before carrying out welding work, disconnect the battery and al-
ternator
Before carrying out any electric welding work on the attached machine,
disconnect the tractor battery and the alternator. This avoids damage to
the electrical system.
Tighten all screwed connections
All screw connections that are released during maintenance and repair
work must now be retightened. Loose screwed connections can cause
bolts to undo without you noticing during your work. As a result, ma-
chine parts can become detached. Otherwise, this may result in severe
injury or damage to equipment.
Further regula-
tions
Observe the regulations
In addition to these safety instructions, observe the following:
•Accident prevention regulations
•Generally recognised safety regulations, occupational health re-
quirements and road traffic regulations
•Information and instructions in this operating manual
