8. Frequently check the hydraulic system for
leaks. Tighten any leaking fittings and care-
fully inspect the hydraulic lines and replace
any worn or damaged hoses.
Caution:
Hy-
draulic oil under pressure can be extremely
dangerous.
6. Check all wheel bolts and secure trans-
port locks before transporting. Wheel bolts
should be checked again after the first few
hours of use, after the first day and after the
first week of use.
7. Occasionally check the condition of the pivot
pin connections and other moving linkages
for excessive wear. Replace excessively
worn pins and linkages.
9. The cultivators hydraulic system is a re-
phasing type system where the movement
of the larger centre section Master Cylinder
controls the movement of the smaller wing
wheel cylinders connected in series. It is a
very reliable system but can be difficult to
troubleshoot if one of the hose connections
are wrong or an internal leak develops in
one or more of the cylinders. For these and
other problems, please refer to the hydraulic
trouble shooting guide in the back of the
booklet.
5. Check all nuts and bolts, especially the
tine clamp bolts, after the first few hours of
operation and secure if loose. Inspect the
shares daily and replace worn ones.
Never crawl under the machine to change
shares or perform other maintenance unless
the frame is blocked to keep it from falling in
the event of accidental operation or failure
of the hydraulic system.
