Hydraulic Function Precautions
When handling the machine, ensure that nobody is in the danger zone.
The hydraulic functions are controlled at tractor hydraulic controls from inside the cab.
Safety Measures in Case of Injury from Oil
Eyes: Should any oil be splashed into your eyes, rinse with water for 15 minutes. If the eye is still
irritated, contact a doctor immediately.
If Oil is Ingested: If oil is swallowed, it is important not to induce vomiting. Contact a doctor immediately.
Skin Irritation caused by Oil: In case of prolonged skin contact, wash off the oil with soap and water.
Oil Spills: Use either sand or a suitable granular absorbent to soak up any spilled oil. Dispose of the oil
contamination absorbent in the proper manner.
Oil Fires: Never use water to extinguish an oil fire. The oil will float on water causing the fire to spread.
Burning oil-lubricant must be extinguished using a carbon dioxide power or foam extinguisher. Always
wear respiratory equipment when dealing with fires of this type.
Waste Oil Disposal: Oil-contaminated waste and used oil must be disposed of in accordance with
current legislation. Check with your local hazardous waste management coordinator. Waste oils must
be collected and disposed of with local regulations. Never pour used oil in to a sewage system or drains
or on to the ground.
