MACHINES / TOOLS CONNECTED TO HYDRAULICS
Be careful when connecting your machine or implement to a hydraulic hose.
DANGER!
Leaking oil or fuel under pressure can penetrate the skin and can cause serious
injury. Do not use your hands when searching for leaks. Use a piece of cardbo-
ard or paper when searching for leaks.
•
Warning of high pressure, risk of serious injuries.
•
Before the repair or maintenance is carried out, the system must be relieved from any pressure that may
remain in the system.
•
Turn off the tractor and move all control levers in all directions to release pressure that remains in oil hoses
and pipes before starting any work on these or on the hydraulic cylinders.
•
Clean the filter in the inlet line after 10 hours of work.
•
Immediately replace hydraulic hoses if cracks or wear occur or detected.
•
Do not adjust valve settings. Incorrect adjustment can result in damage to the machine and / or injuries.
•
The hydraulic system may only be operated with hydraulic oil intended for the purpose. Check the oil level
before starting the machine!
•
It is recommended that the hydraulic oil be changed after the first 10 hours of operation when using a new
machine for the first time to remove any dirt or metal chips that may have entered the hydraulic system.
NOTE! The oil becomes hot as it flows through the hydraulic system. Regularly check the oil temperature to avoid
overheating. If the oil gets overheated, stop the machine and let the oil cool.
POWER TAKE OFF SHAFT (PTO)
Warning! Rotating PTO
Warning! Risk of crushing!
What to consider when operating machine with PTO
The transmission to the gearbox is protected by both PTO shaft and the shear bolt.
All guards must be correctly mounted and in good condition. If the guards condition is poor
or worn, they should be replaced before the machine is used.
Danger!
If the PTO shaft is not properly protected, it may cause death as it may catch
parts of the body or clothing and cause life-threatening injuries.
Ensure that the safety chain is properly anchored to the PTO shaft and that the PTO shaft is
protected over its entire length. Ensure that the PTO spins easily inside the protective tube.
Keep splines grooves clean and well lubricated so that the PTO shaft can be easily connected.
Read the PTO’s instruction manual for adjustment and how to use it.
Never overload the PTO! Do not exceed the maximum allowed speed!
