WARNING! ELECTRICAL / SHOCK HAZARDS
• Before working on any particular component, make sure that all power supplies have been switched off and cannot be
accidentally switched on.
• Disconnect power leads before using an arc welder on equipment or anything connected to the equipment.
• Systems including frequency drives have a risk of electric shock due to residual voltage. It is not permissible to open the
equipment neither to disconnect the system or any quick connection until 5 minutes after the power has been removed.
• Only operate the system from the power source indicated in the manual. If you are not sure of the power source, consult
qualied service personnel.
• Do not use a high pressure cleaner to clean electrical components. This could damage electrical components and
subject the operator to risk of electrical shock.
• The electrical supply to the equipment must be properly routed and connected to the equipment. All connections must
meet the specied requirements.
WARNING! PRESSURISED HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
• Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when performing work on hydraulic systems.
• Adhere to the machine manufacture’s approved maintenance instructions when working on the hydraulic system.
• Always turn equipment off when working on the hydraulic system. Take appropriate precautions when opening systems
that have been previously pressurised.
• Be aware that hydraulic oil may be extremely hot and under high pressure.
WARNING! CHEMICAL HANDLING
• Always wear PPE when handling any chemical substance.
• Always follow safety labels and instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer or supplier.
• The operator should have full information on the nature and the quantity of the material to be distributed.
• ADHERE TO FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS REGARDING THE HANDLING, USE OR DISPOSAL
OF AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS.
WARNING! PRESSURISED SPRAY SYSTEM
• It is important to recognise proper safety precautions when using a pressurised spray system. Fluids under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause serious personal injury.
• The system pressure should never exceed the lowest rated component. Always know your system and all component
capabilities, maximum pressures and ow rates.
• Filters can only be opened when the manual valves in front of and behind the lter are in closed position. If any
appliance has to be taken out of the piping, manual valves in front of and behind this appliance have to be in closed
position. If they are reinstalled, make sure that this happens correctly, that this apparatus is well aligned, and that all
connections are tight.
• The plumbing supply to the equipment should meet all company and local regulations and must be properly routed and
connected to the equipment. All connections must meet the specied requirements
• It is advised to drain and purge the liquid train when the equipment shall not be used for a longer period of time.
WARNING! AUTO STEERING SAFETY
• To prevent serious personal injury or death from being run over by the vehicle or automated motion of the steering
system, never leave the vehicles operator seat with the system engaged.
• To prevent serious personal injury or death from being run over by the vehicle or automated motion of the steering
system, verify the area around the vehicle is clear of people or obstacles before startup, calibration, tuning or engaging
the system.
• Make sure equipment is tightly secured to the proper components.
• Never drive on public roads with system engaged.

CAUTION! EQUIPMENT SAFETY, MAINTENANCE, AND SERVICE
• The equipment should be operated only by properly trained, qualied personnel. They must have proven their skills in
the operation of the equipment.
• Before using the equipment, the operator has to check if the equipment is in good condition and can be used safely. If
not, the equipment cannot be used.
• All necessary PPE must be readily available to the operator at all times.
• Routinely check the system and components for wear and damage. Replace or repair when necessary.
• Only qualied authorised experts are allowed to repair or maintain the installation. The maintenance and operating
instructions shall be rigidly observed and followed.
• A complete manual for the equipment must be available to the operator or maintenance technician at all times.
CAUTION! HARNESS CABLE AND HOSE SAFETY
• Routinely check all harness cables and hoses for damage or wear. Replace or repair when necessary.
• Do not route harness cables and hoses with sharp bends.
• Do not strap harness cables and hoses to lines with high vibration or spikes in pressure.
• Do not strap harness cables and hoses to lines transporting hot uids.
• Protect harness cables and hoses from sharp objects, equipment debris, and material buildup.
• Allow sufcient length for harness cables and hoses to have free movement on sections that move during operation, and
be sure that harness cables or hoses do not hang below the equipment.
• Allow sufcient clearance for harness cables and hoses from implement and machine operational zones.
• When cleaning equipment, protect harness cables from high pressure wash.
NOTE: TOUCH SCREEN CARE
• Keep sharp objects away from the touch screen device. Touching the screen with a sharp object could result in damage
to the display.
• Do not use harsh chemicals to clean the console/display. The correct way to clean a console/display is to use a soft
damp cloth or anti-static wipe, similar to cleaning a monitor on a computer.
