5.9 Hydraulic system
•
Warning: The hydraulic system is pressurised. Hydraulic oil under pressure may
cause serious injury when it touches the skin. Directly consult a physician if that
happens, because there is a risk of infection.
•
First switch off the hydraulic control valve of the tractor, then move the three control
levers of the machine back and forth a number of times before connecting the
hydraulic quick-connect couplings of the machine to the tractor.
•
Mark the quick-connect couplings of the tractor as well as those of the machine to
prevent incorrect connection of the quick-connect couplings. If the quick-connect
couplings have been connected incorrectly, all hydraulic operating functions are
reversed (e.g. up becomes down).
•
Work on the hydraulic system must only be carried out by personnel with special
training.
•
Regularly check the hoses. Damaged and/or defective hoses must be replaced at
once. When mounting new hoses, these must satisfy the specifications prescribed
by the manufacturer.
•
If the hydraulic system has a leak, all necessary precautions must be taken to
prevent accidents and/or damage to the environment.
•
Lower the machine to the ground, switch off the tractor engine, take the ignition key
from the lock and move all hydraulic operating levers back and forth a number of
times to take the pressure from the hydraulic system before carrying out work on the
hydraulic system.
