3 Safety 3.1 General Information 67079 59180 3.1.12 Driving operations on slopes When travelling downhill with a slope of more than 7%, always shift one gear down (braking effect of diesel engine)! When travelling downhill in general, never exceed the allowed max. ground speed of 20 (25) km/h. 2419 3.1.13 Leaving the machine When leaving the machine, ensure that it will not roll away (apply parking brake, wheel chocks). Shut off the engine. Remove the ignition key and lock the operator's cab. When the machine is shut down for an extended period, turn off the battery isolating switch. Never leave the machine unattended as long as the engine is still running!
Lower the front attachments to the ground before leaving the machine! 2420 3.1.14 Front attachments and trailers Support raised front attachments securely before doing any work underneath the units. Take particular care when mounting front attach- ments to the basic machine and when attaching a trailer. Owing to their function, front attachments and feeder mechanisms such as belts, rollers, chains, worm gears, reels and the like cannot be com- pletely protected by design measures; for this reason, an adequate safety distance must be maintained from these moving elements during operation. These instructions also apply to all other accessories operated on the machine.
No person must ever be allowed between the machine and the front attachment unless the park- ing brake is applied and/or the wheels are chocked so that the vehicle can not start to move on its own. Front attachments and trailers must only be attached to the coupling devices provided for that purpose. Observe the maximum permissible load capacity of the trailer hitch. Hitch the trailer correctly to the forage harvester. Be alert when connecting a trailer to the forage harvester. Before disconnecting a front attachment always make sure that it is stable and securely parked.
When attaching front attachments always make sure that the load on the existing rear axle is suffi- cient to maintain the forage harvester's steering and braking capabilities. 00 0293 210 2 - BA DOMINATOR 150/140/130 - 12/09 39
