Hydraulics
•
Lower machine fully for any repair work on the hydraulic system. Relieve hy-
draulic pressure, switch engine off and remove ignition key.
•
Clean hydraulic connections thoroughly before reconnecting. When connecting
hydraulic hoses to tractor hydraulics, ensure they are not under pressure.
•
It can be difficult to completely depressurise hydraulic systems with pilot-
controlled non-return valves. Hold a cloth around the fittings/part to be re-
moved to catch any oil.
•
Bleed the hydraulic system thoroughly after any repairs.
•
Check hydraulic hoses regularly for defects such as cracks, splits, crimps, wear
or breaks. Defective hoses must be replaced immediately.
•
Avoid spilling oil on the ground. If oil is spilt, collect and deliver to a destruction
point.
•
Clean hands thoroughly after contact with oil and grease. Change oil-stained
clothing immediately. Hydraulic oil can be harmful to the skin.
•
Hydraulic oil released under high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
severe injury. In the event of injury, seek medical help immediately.
Mounting
•
Danger of crushing! Ensure no personnel are between implement and tractor,
or between the parts to be connected.
Maintenance and repair
•
Ensure machine is adequately supported or fully extended for all repair and
maintenance work. Ensure tractor and machine are properly braked, engine
stopped and ignition key removed.
•
Tighten all screw connections after a few hours use. Check all screw connec-
tions regularly and tighten as required. Check all split pins and bolts to avoid
mechanical failure.
•
Dispose of oil, grease and filters in accordance with local environmental pro-
tection rules.
