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 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 connecting the hydraulic hose lines to the hydraulic
system of the tractor, ensure that the hydraulic system is
depressurized on both the tractor side 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 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 genuine 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 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 lines made
of thermoplastics, other guide values may be decisive.
Dispose of old oil in compliance with regulations. 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.
