Safety
For your safety
Please carefully read and observe the safety information in this
chapter prior to assembly. All persons involved in assembling or
setting up this machine must read and pay close attention to the
assembly instructions that follow.
Correct assembly
N.B.: Non-compliance with the following rules amounts to gross
negligence. As a result, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any
damage caused by negligence. The risk is then borne solely by the
operator.
This machine must only be assembled by trained technicians in
accordance with the current version of the assembly instructions.
Before the implement is coupled to a tractor, transported, or initially
operated, 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
involved 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.
Whenever 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
in the vicinity of the machine.
•Risks for the machine and other property belonging to the
operator or third parties.
•Impairment of the efficient and damage-free operation of the
machine.

Safety

General safety and
accident prevention
regulations
•Responsibilities for the various activities on the machine must be
clearly defined and maintained. There must not be any confusion
regarding responsibilities, otherwise the safety of the assembly
personnel is put at risk.
•Before you start work, familiarise yourself with all the fittings and
actuation elements and their functions.
•For all work on the machine, use only appropriate tools and
implements in perfect condition.
•You must only use parts (accessories, lubricants etc.) which
comply with at least the manufacturer's specifications; you must
use them in accordance with instructions (including specified
torques).
•A part conforms to the requirements only if it is an original part or if
it is expressly approved by the manufacturer.
•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)
have crush or shear points.
•Pay close attention to the markings on reversible connections and
be aware of the risk of installing a part the wrong way round.
•Always disconnect the power supply before working on the
electrical system.
•When carrying out electric welding on the machine, always
disconnect electric cables from the alternator and battery.

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 and
rotary direction
All directions ("right", "left", "front", "back") are always as viewed in 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 900 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.
Disregard 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
machine parts which are slewing or folding. Serious or fatal injury
may be caused as a result.
