Hydraulics
•
Lower machine fully for any repair work on the hydraulic system. Relieve
hydraulic pressure, switch engine off and remove ignition key.
•
Clean hydraulic connections thoroughly before reconnecting. When con-
necting hydraulic hoses to tractor hydraulics, ensure they are not under
pressure.
•
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 de-
struction 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 immediate-
ly.
Assembly
•
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 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
connections 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
protection rules.
