Product liability, information obligation

Product liability obliges manufacturers and dealers to issue operating instructions for the machine at the point of sale and to instruct

the customer on the operation, safety and maintenance regulations governing the machine.

A confirmation is required to verify that the machine and operating instructions have been handed over correctly.

For this purpose

- Document A is to be signed and returned to Pöttinger or via the internet to www.poettinger.at

- Document B remains with the specialist dealer handing over the machine.

- The customer receives document C.

For the purposes of product liability law, every farmer is an entrepreneur.

In the terms of product liability law, damage to property is any damage arising due to the machine, but not to the machine, and an

excess (500 euros) exists for this liability.

Corporate damage to property within the terms of the product liability law is excluded from this liability.

Be advised! The operating instructions must also be handed over with any subsequent machine sale or transfer and the transferee

must be instructed in the regulations stated.

Introduction

Dear Customer

These Operating Instructions are intended to allow you

to familiarise yourself with the implement and provide

you with clear information on safe and correct handling,

care and maintenance. Thus please take the time to read

these Instructions.

These Operating Instructions comprise part of the imple-

ment. They are to be kept at a suitable location and acces-

sible to staff over the entire service life of the implement.

Instructions based on the national provisions regarding

protection against accidents, road traffic and environmental

protection are also to be applied additionally.

Any persons commissioned with the operation, maintenance

or transport of the implement must read and understand

these Instructions, in particular the safety information, prior

to starting work. Any warranty claims lapse on non-obser-

vance of these Instructions.

In case you have questions related to this operation manual

or further questions about this implement, please contact

your dealer.

Care and maintenance performed in good time and scru-

pulously according to the maintenance intervals specified

ensure operational and traffic safety as well as the reliability

of the implement.

Use only the original spare parts and accessories from

Pöttinger or accepted by Pöttinger. For those parts relia-

bility, safety and suitability for Pöttinger machines can be

assured. Warranty claims lapse if non-approved parts are

used. The use of original parts is also recommended after

the warranty period has expired to maintain the performance

of the implement in the long term.

Product liability legislation obliges the manufacturer and

the authorised dealer to issue Instructions when selling

implements and to instruct customers in the use with refer-

ence to the safety, operating and maintenance regulations.

Confirmation in the form of a declaration of transfer is

required to verify that the implement and Instructions have

been transferred correctly. The declaration of transfer was

attached to the implement on delivery.

Every self-employed person and farmer is an entrepreneur

within the meaning of the product liability legislation. In

accordance with the laws of product liability, entrepre-

neurial property damages are excluded from the liability.

All damage to property within the meaning of the product

liability legislation is regarded as damage caused by the

implement but not to the implement.

These Operating Instructions are integral part of the imple-

ment delivery scope. You should therefore hand them over to

the new owner if ownership of the implement is transferred.

Train and instruct the new owner in the regulations stated.

The Pöttinger Service-Team wishes you good luck.

General guidelines on working with

the machine

DANGER

Life-threatening danger exists through rotating rotors

and folding arms

• Switch off engine and remove ignition key

prior to any adjustment, maintenance or

repair work.

• Only carry out work in the rotor area when

the PTO shaft is stationary.

• Do not enter the rotor area while the drive

motor is running.

• Before switching on the drive motor, make

sure that the working area is free and that

no one is in the danger zone.

495.173

DANGER

Life-threatening danger exists through swivelling

and folding rotor arms

• Do not stand in the swivel range of the rotor

arms.

• Before raising or lowering the rotor arms,

make sure that the working area is free and

that no one is in the danger zone.

DANGER

Life-threatening danger through the tractor/trailer

tipping on an incline, especially in transport position

and when cornering.

• Reduce speed in general relevant to the pre-

vailing environmental conditions, especially

when cornering and on slopes.

• Drive backwards on the slope rather than

carry out a risky turning manoeuvre.

WARNING

Risk of serious injury due to long-term work with

increased noise interference.

The noise level in the workplace can deviate from the

measured value (see Technical Data) particularly through

the differing types of tractor cabins.

• If a noise level of 85 dB(A) is reached or

exceeded, the farmer must have suitable

hearing protection in readiness (UVV 1.1 §

2).

• If a noise level of 90 dB (A) is reached or

exceeded, then hearing protection must be

worn (UVV 1.1 § 16).

TAKE NOTE

Property damage to the towing vehicle because of

its unsuitability

• Observe the technical limits of the towing

vehicle with regard to axle load and the load

on the coupling.

Important notes prior to starting work

(see Supplement-A1 pts. 1, 2, 3 and 4))

1. Switch on p.t.o.

Always and only switch the p.t.o. drive on when all safety

devices (covers, protective aprons, casings, etc.) are

in proper condition and are attached to the machine in

their safety positions.

2. Only switch the machine on when in the

working position and do not exceed the

stipulated p.t.o. speed!

A transfer, located near the transmission,

advises the p.t.o. speed that your machine is equipped

for.

- Switch on the p.t.o. shaft at idling speed.

- Only switch on the p.t.o. shaft when the machine is at

least in the field transport position!

3. P.t.o. speed

- Max. p.t.o. speed = 540 U/min.

The most suitable shaft speed is approximately 450

r.p.m.

- If the feed is pulled by the tines from the swath back to

the stripe (unclean raking), the p.t.o. shaft speed must

be reduced.

4. Working speed

- Select a driving speed that ensures the entire crop is

picked up cleanly.

- In the case of an overload, change into a lower gear.

- In order to achieve clean raking, the rotor must be

inclined slightly towards the swath. See chapter

"Operation" for exact setting.

5. Settings and checking

- Adapt tine height to ground conditions. Tines should

lightly touch the ground. If the setting is too low, the

feed will be soiled, resp. the sward will be damaged.

- Check the setting during operation frequently.

- Check air pressure regularly!

- Check hydraulic hose lines regularly and replace them

if damaged and/or embrittled (spare parts list).

- Carry out a regular, thorough brake system inspection.

- The fixing screws must be checked at regular intervals

and re-tightened if necessary.

- Regularly check if tines are in sound condition!

Fit all tine carriers to the rotors.

- Fix tine carriers onto rotor arms and secure with linch

pin.
