Foreword
This document (EN 707:1999+A1:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 144 "Tractors
and machinery for agriculture and forestry", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2010, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by January 2010.
This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2009-05-23.
This European Standard supersedes EN 707:1999.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! ".
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
!For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this
document."
Annex A is normative and contains the "List of hazards". Annex B is informative.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this standard. These hazards are specific
to slurry tankers.
The hazards that are common to all agricultural machines (self-propelled, mounted, semi-mounted and trailed)
will be dealt with in a standard currently in preparation (prEN 1553).
The requirements of the European Directive on pressure equipment will be dealt with by the revision of this
standard.
1 Scope
This standard specifies specific safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of all
semi-mounted, trailed and self-propelled slurry tankers, including their spreading or injecting devices, intended
for spreading or injecting slurry which are operated by either pneumatic or mechanical power.
NOTE Braking requirements are not included in this standard. These will be studied during its revision depending on
the development of European regulations.
In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
The list of significant hazards dealt with in this standard is given in Annex A. Annex A also indicates the
hazards which have not been dealt with.
Environmental aspects have not been considered in this standard.
This standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to
this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the definitions given in EN 292-1:1991 and EN 292-2:1991 apply together
with the following:
NOTE Annex B gives illustrations of slurry tankers and components.
3.1
slurry tanker
Machine for handling, transporting and distributing slurry
3.2
mechanically powered slurry tanker
Machine for which the energy required for filling the tank and for spreading is directly provided by a pump
3.3
pneumatically powered slurry tanker
Machine for which the energy required for filling the tank and for spreading is provided by an air compressor
that creates respectively either vacuum or pressure in the tank
3.4
floating position
Position in which the slurry injecting devices enter into the ground under the effect of their own weight
3.5
position with weight transfer
Position in which the slurry injecting devices enter into the ground under the effect of their own weight plus a
vertical downward force
3.6
filling arm

4 Safety requirements and/or measures
4.1 General
Machines shall comply as appropriate with EN 292 for hazards which are not dealt with and especially with
Annex A of EN 292-2:1991/A1:1995 when EN 292 does not give precise requirements.
Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the machine shall comply with the requirements of prEN
1553:1998 and with tables 1, 3, 4 and 6 of EN 294:1992.
NOTE The dynamic stability of the slurry tanker will be dealt with by the revision of the standard.
4.2 Requirements for all types of slurry tankers
4.2.1 Manual controls
4.2.1.1 Manual control of the distributing operation
It shall be possible to start and stop the distributing operation from the driving position of the tractor or self-
propelled machine.
4.2.1.2 Manual control for the compressor or the pump
Preferably, it shall be possible to actuate the manual control for the compressor or the pump from the driving
position of the tractor or self-propelled machine.
Otherwise one manual control, accessible from the ground, shall be located on each side of the tank at a
minimum horizontal distance of 550 mm from the central axis of PTO drive shaft, measured perpendicular to
this axis (see example in figure 1).
The functions linked to the different positions of the manual control shall be clearly identified.

Dimensions in millimetres
1 - Compressor or pump
2 - Central axis of PTO drive shaft
3 - Area in which manual controls of the
compressor shall not be located
Figure 1
4.2.2 Tank
4.2.2.1 Openings
The tank shall have sufficiently sized and placed opening(s) to allow effective cleaning of all of the tank interior
or to eliminate any clogging without the necessity for personnel to enter the tank.
Openings in the upper part of the tank greater than 400 mm in diameter, or if they are rectangular of more
than 400 mm x 300 mm, shall be provided with a grating which can only be removed by the use of tools. The
apertures in the grating shall not exceed these dimensions.
4.2.2.2 Covers for openings
Covers on the upper part of the tank shall be designed, or fitted with a device, to prevent their unintentional
closing.
Where a cover is hydraulically controlled, it shall be possible to actuate the manual control from the driving
position of the tractor or self-propelled machine and the hydraulic hose coupling which connects to the tractor
shall be clearly identified.
4.2.2.3 Partitions
Tanks having a capacity equal to or greater than 6 000 l shall be equipped with anti-surge partition(s)
according to table 1. T
