General Safety Instructions
34 EDX 9000-TC BAH0048-6 09.2019
2.16.3 Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system is under a high pressure.

Ensure that the hydraulic hose lines are connected correctly.

When connecting the hydraulic hose lines, ensure that the
hydraulic system is depressurised on both the implement and
tractor.

It is forbidden to block the operator controls on the tractor which
are used for hydraulic and electrical 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 equipment 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

Depressurise the hydraulic system.

switch off the tractor engine

apply the tractor parking brake

take out the ignition spanner.

Have the hydraulic hose lines checked at least once a year by a
specialist for proper functioning.

Replace the hydraulic hose lines if they are 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 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) 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 searching for leakage points, use suitable aids, to avoid
the serious risk of infection.
