Hydraulic system (workshop work)
WARNING
Risk of infection through the high pressure hydraulic fluid of the
hydraulic system entering the body!
Only a specialist workshop may carry out work on the hydraulic
system.
Depressurise the hydraulic system before carrying out work on
the hydraulic system.
When searching for leak points, always use suitable aids.
Never attempt to plug leaks in hydraulic lines using your hand or
fingers.
Escaping high pressure fluid (hydraulic fluid) may pass through
the skin and ingress into the body, causing serious injuries!
If you are injured by hydraulic fluid, contact a doctor
immediately. Risk of infection!
When connecting the hydraulic hose lines to the hydraulic
system of connected machines, ensure that the hydraulic system
is depressurised on both the drawing vehicle and the trailer.
Ensure that the hydraulic hose lines are connected correctly.
Regularly check all the hydraulic hose lines and couplings for
damage and impurities.
Have the hydraulic hose line checked at least once a year by a
specialist for proper functioning.
Replace the hydraulic hose line if it is damaged or worn. Only
use original
AMAZONE
hydraulic 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
connections are subject to natural ageing, thus limiting the
length 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
connections made from thermoplastics, other guide values may
be decisive.
Dispose of old oil in the correct way. If you have problems with
disposal, contact your oil supplier.
Keep hydraulic fluid out of the reach of children!
Ensure that no hydraulic fluid enters the soil or waterways.
