1.1 On this operating manual
This operating manual is an integral part of the machine control unit.
The operating manual contains important information for safe, appropriate
and economic use and maintenance of the machine control unit. Adherence
to the manual helps to avoid dangers, reduce repair costs and downtime, and
increases the machine's reliability and service life.
The operator's manual must be kept in an easily accessible location close to
where the machine control unit is used (e. g. on the tractor).
The operating manual does not replace your own responsibility as the operator
and operating personnel of the control unit.
1.2 Significance of warnings
The warning instructions in this manual have been structured according to the
degree of danger and the probability of their occurrence.
Danger signs and symbols inform the user about other construction-related and
unavoidable residual risks that may be encountered when operating the machine.
The warning notes used are structured as follows:
Example
Signal word
Symbol Explanation
n DANGER
Risk to life if warning is not observed
Description of the danger and possible consequences.
Ignoring these warnings will result in very serious or even fatal
injury.
