the operating manual and its safety instructions must be thoroughly
read and observed.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that all personnel invol-
ved in the assembly are provided with the relevant accident prevention
regulations, as well as generally applicable health and safety and road
safety regulations. All personnel involved in the assembly must be
aware of these rules and regulations and adhere to them; they must
also be instructed on the potential risks and dangers.
Unauthorised alterations to the machine invalidate any liability of the
manufacturer for resultant damage.
The following rules and regulations must be observed:
•The locally applicable accident prevention regulations,
•Recognised safety regulations, occupational health requirements
and road traffic regulations,
•The functional limits and safety regulations as set out in the
technical operating instructions.
Danger indicators signify the risk of serious injury or death. Whe-
never you see this sign in the assembly instructions, please make
sure that you implement all appropriate safety measures.
Moreover, danger indicators warn of damage to machinery as well
as of financial and legal consequences (e.g. invalidation of
warranty, legal liabilities, etc.)
Faulty assembly or misuse results in:
•Risks to life and limb of the operator, third parties, and animals

•Wear close-fitting clothes when operating the machine. Wear
sturdy footwear and prescribed protective equipment.
•Support and secure the machine carefully during assembly.
•Particular care must be taken in dealing with energy accumulators
such as springs and hydraulic or compressed-air assemblies.
•Dispose of oils, grease, and filters in accordance with regulations.
•Protective equipment must be properly attached and swung into its
protective position.
•Actuation elements (cords, chains, and rod assemblies) of
remotely controlled equipment must be fitted in such a way that
they cannot cause unintended movement in any transport or work
position.
•Do not leave the engine running in enclosed spaces.
•All remote-powered and all other movable parts (e.g. hydraulics)

Screw and bolt
tightening torques
Note the tightening torques that are shown in the table or specified in
the text. The torque specifications refer to a dry coefficient of friction
(0.12).
Direction
information
Direction information (right, left, front, rear) is given in relation to the
direction of travel. Rotary direction is defined as follows:
•Rotary direction right = clockwise.
•Rotary direction left = anticlockwise.
•Rotation about a vertical axis, viewed from top to bottom.
•Rotation about a horizontal axis, viewed at right angles to the
direction of travel, from left to right.
•The rotation of screws and nuts, etc. is always viewed from the
operating side.

Requirements
•Suitable flat surface approx. 10 x 10 m as assembly space.
•Lifting gear with lifting accessories for at least 1,500 kg.
•Floor conveyor (pallet truck or fork lift) with a fork length of at least
1,800 mm.
•Stands for safely depositing implement parts.
•Spanners for tightening bolts.
Preparations for
assembly
Place the wooden crate on level ground (with the pallet floor at the
bottom) and open it without damaging the parts inside.
Take out loose parts (wheels, axles, boxes etc.).
Clear plenty of space around larger components to make access
easier.
Checking the scope
of delivery
Check that the scope of delivery is complete.
In the event of missing, incorrect or damaged parts, fill in the
“REPORT MISSING PARTS” form and send it to the “ORDER
DESK” in Kerteminde straight away.
Removing the
surface protection
Remove the surface protection (e.g. Tectyl) with which the bare
surfaces (such as tine arms, tine supports and bearing shafts)
have been coated.
Grease the bare surfaces using a brush.
Observe the safety information
Observe the safety information when carrying out all work. Disre-
gard for safety information can lead to serious or fatal injury.
Ensure that hydraulic connections are correct
Before lowering the implement, you must check that the hydraulic
lines are correctly connected. Wrongly connected hydraulic hoses
can trigger unpredictable movements of the machine. Serious or
fatal injury may be caused as a result.
No persons within the slewing range
There is an acute risk of injury within the slewing range from ma-
chine parts which are slewing or folding. Serious or fatal injury
would be caused as a result.
