2.16.2 Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system is under high pressure.

Ensure that the hydraulic hose lines are connected correctly.

When connecting the hydraulic hose lines, ensure that the hydraulic system is depressurized on
both the implement and tractor sides.

It is forbidden to block the operator controls on the tractor which are used for hydraulic and elec-
trical movements of components, e.g. folding, swivelling and pushing movements. The movement
must stop automatically when you release the appropriate control. This does not apply to equip-
ment movements that:

are continuous or

are automatically locked or

require a float position or pressure position due to their function.

Before working on the hydraulic system

lower the implement

depressurize the tractor's hydraulic system

Switch off the tractor engine.

apply the tractor parking brake

take out the ignition spanner.

Have the hydraulic hose lines checked for proper functioning by a specialist at least once a year.

Replace the hydraulic hose lines if they are damaged or worn. Use only original AMAZONE hy-
draulic hose lines.

The hydraulic hose lines should not be used for longer than six years, including any storage time
of maximum two years. Even with proper storage and approved use, hoses and hose connec-
tions are subject to natural aging, thus limiting the duration of use. However, it may be possible to
specify the length of use from experience values, in particular when taking the risk potential into
account. In the case of hoses and hose lines made of thermoplastics, other guide values may be
decisive.

Never attempt to plug leaks in hydraulic hose lines using your hand or fingers.
Escaping high-pressure fluid (hydraulic fluid) can penetrate into the body through the skin and
cause serious injuries.
If you are injured by hydraulic fluid, contact a doctor immediately. Risk of infection.

When searching for leaks, use suitable aids to avoid the serious risk of infection.
