Introduction This European standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070:1998. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard. Hazards that are common to all the agricultural machines (self-propelled, mounted, semi-mounted and trailed) are dealt with in EN 1553:1999. 1 Scope This standard specifies specific safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of potato harvesting machines trailed, mounted or self-propelled which carry out one or more of the following operations: haulm chopping, lifting, picking-up, cleaning, conveying and unloading of potatoes. This standard is applicable for machines which can be used without modification for harvesting of other crops. 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.

This ejection outlet shall be fitted with:  a protective device composed of: a) on the top, an imperforate guard which extends beyond the outer part of the conveyor by a minimum of 150 mm (see Figure 2). When a conveyor belt is used, the lower edge of the top guard shall be placed at 200 mm maximum above the upper plane of the conveyor belt (see Figure 3); b) at the outer point of the conveyor:  when an auger is used, a fixed guard, the lower end of which shall extend at least
50 mm below the axis of the screw (see Figure 2);  when a conveyor belt is used, a barrier located in the horizontal plane at 150 mm minimum from any mobile part of the conveyor and in the vertical plane at 200 mm maximum above the upper plane of the conveyor belt (see Figure 4). The lateral part of the conveying belt shall be guarded against unintentional contact in accordance with 5.1 of prEN 620:1998. or  a mobile guard which completely seals the ejection outlet and automatically returns to the closed position when no more material is ejected (see Figure 5).

Mechanical supports complying with 4.1.7.3 of EN 1553:1999 shall be provided in order to enable maintenance and service operations to be carried out by the operator under the hopper in raised position. Machines fitted with a tipping hopper shall be stable when emptying. This requirement is checked in the following conditions:  the machine is placed on a slope of 5°, with its longitudinal axis positioned across the slope;  in the case of lateral tipping, the tipping shall be directed down slope;  in the case of rear tipping, the machine shall be placed successively up the slope and across the slope;  when the hopper is lifted and tilted at its maximum position, a vertical force equal to half of the load capacity of the hopper is applied downwards at the centre of the hopper. In the case of high-tip hopper machines, when the hopper is lifted at its highest position and not tilted, a vertical force equal to the load capacity of the hopper is applied at the centre of the hopper. 4.9 Unloading device The machine shall be so designed that the operator can supervise the unloading process from the driver's station. Mechanical supports complying with 4.1.7.3 of EN1553:1999 shall be provided in order to enable maintenance and service operations to be carried out by the operator under unloading devices in raised position. It shall be possible for the operator to fit and remove the mechanical supports from outside the hazard zone.
