6 Operation
Danger! There is a hazard of very severe or even deadly injuries for people staying
in the hazard zone. Objects or people may be caught by their body parts or pieces of
clothing and drawn into the rollers, especially near the pickup. In this case, body parts
may be ripped off and fragmented. Objects may be drawn in by the rollers and destroyed
or cause severe damage to the pickup of the machine. The operator is obliged to
immediately shut down the machine, as soon as people enter the hazard zone or ingress
into it with objects.
As long as the machine is running, it is expressly prohibited to manually place into the
machine any sugar beets that were not automatically lifted by the machine (this also
applies to use of hand tools). Please always bear in mind that residual beet pickup
activities have lead to very serious accidents in the past.
Pile pickup up
As long as the pile pickup is lifted up sufficiently high, the indication for the pile pickup
height (3) on the color terminal is displayed highlighted in green. The green color
indicates that the safety circuit has no effect during loading. As long as it does not lower
under a certain minimum height, the pile pickup may be used without restrictions (for
instance, in a half-frozen beet pile).
Pile pickup down
If the height indication for the pile pickup (3) is displayed highlighted in orange,
because the pile pickup is lowered, then the telescopic arm may only be moved left/
right and up/down without additional measures. When the telescopic arm is to be
extended or retracted, the driver's seat must be turned to the front . The rotatable seat
status indicator (1) on the color terminal must display green (display range between
-20%/0%/+20%). In addition, the "look forward" foot-switch (2) on the cabin floor must be
pressed.
