Fendt 900 Vario COM III — 4 Safety briefing and measures

Check Chassis Range! 0000 - Overall system/tractor A - General After deactivating the PTO, it is possible that parts on the mounted implement may continue to run as a result of the centrifugal mass. Whilst this continues, do not get too close to the implement. Work may only be carried out when the moving parts of the mounted implement have come to rest. If the pipe rupture safety feature activates, support the load before starting repair work, and slowly retract the cylin- der. Carry out a regular check of hydraulic hoses and lines for signs of damage and aging and replace with genuine spare parts in good time.

Following installation and repairs, operate the tractor for a short time, then retighten all nuts and bolts and check them regularly. Adjustments and repairs to the brake system must be carried out in specialist workshops or by approved brake repair technicians. Check the level of brake fluid at regular intervals. Only use the brake fluid specified and replace according to instruc- tions! Disposal The work described in the operator's manual and workshop manual includes replacing parts, fuel and lubricants. These renewed parts/fuel/lubricants must be stored, transported and disposed of in accordance with regulations. The repairing workshop bears responsibility for this.

The disposal encompasses the recycling and final disposal of parts/fuel/lubricants with recycling having the higher priority. Details about disposal and monitoring are specified in regional, national and in- ternational laws and directives, the observation of which is the sole responsibility of the repairing workshops. 15 T003309 Version 1 20-10-2009 Nobody should be in the cab when installing and removing the drive shaft.
