Introduction !This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard." 1 Scope This standard specifies specific safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of all sugar beet and fodder beet harvesting machines trailed, mounted or self-propelled which carry out one or more of the following operations: leaf stripping, topping, lifting, picking-up, cleaning, conveying and unloading of beet. This standard is not applicable to cleaner-loaders which operate from a heap of beet. 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.

4.5 Beet lifting devices The rotating parts of the powered beet lifting devices shall stop when the lifting devices are in a raised position. 4.6 Cleaning devices To ensure protection against unintentional contact with the tools, cleaning devices shall be guarded by:  a lateral guard (see Figures 8a and 8b) so that:  the lower edge of the guard is located at a maximum of 400 mm above the ground or at the tool path height if it is greater than 400 mm from the ground;  the distance between the upper edge of the guard and the highest mobile part is at least 800 mm;  the horizontal distance between the guard and the tool path is at least 200 mm; or  any fixed parts of machines which fulfil these safety distances. If the protective device is a grille, it shall conform to EN 294. If the height of the lateral guard is less than 1,20 m from the ground, then an imperforate guard on the top shall be provided. Any cleaning device which can be stopped by a blockage shall be fitted with:  for self propelled machines, a reversing device controlled from the driver's station;  for trailed and mounted machines:  a reversing device which shall be controllable from the driver's station of towing machine; or  a device preventing these cleaning devices from being restarted after blockage without an intentional action of the operator (for example shear bolt, a restart torque limiter). NOTE Further requirements for removing blockages will be added in a future revision. Some suggestions for the prevention of hazards related to blockages and removal of blockages are given in Annex C for information.
4.7 Conveying device To ensure protection against unintentional contact with the accessible mobile elements, the conveying devices shall be fitted with fixed guards (according to 3.22.1 of EN 292-1:1991) if they do not need to be opened for cleaning and clearing blockages. When frequent access is foreseen, the conveying devices shall be fitted with guards needing a tool to open them. These guards shall remain attached to the machine when open (for example by means of hinges) and automatically lock in the closed position without the use of a tool. SIST EN 13140:2001+A1:2010

If this type of guards is not used, the conveying devices shall be fitted with:  interlocking movable guards (according to 3.22.4 of EN 292-1:1991); or  movable guards fitted with a device which prevents their opening so long as the parts are moving. For the elements of these devices located less than 550 mm from the ground, guarding from below is not required when the side guard extends downwards for a distance of at least 130 mm below their path.

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. The distribution auger shall be guarded to prevent any contact from the driver's station, from the ground or from any platform. 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 EN 1553:1999 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 to remove the mechanical supports from outside the hazard zone. The unloading devices shall be supplied with a device to lock them in the transport position if the risk exists that the unloading device moves from its transport position.
