2 - SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety requirements for fluid power systems and components -
hydraulic systems
WARNING
Escaping fluid!
Hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause infection or
other injury. To prevent personal injury: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines or per-
forming work on the hydraulic system. Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight
and all components are in good condition. Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under
pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose. If injured by leaking fluid, see your
doctor immediately.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0178A
Before you start the engine or pressurize the hydraulic
system, install and tight correctly all the hydraulic cou-
plings. Check that all hoses and fittings are undamaged.
Replace immediately damaged components.
Only connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor outlets if
the tractor and the implement are pressure-free. If the
hydraulic system of the tractor is activated, the hydraulic
system may lead to uncontrolled movements which may
cause secondary damage.
Make sure that no persons are near the implement when
you start the implement, as there might be air in the hy-
draulic system which might lead to sudden movements.
When the tractor engine has stopped, activate the tractor
hydraulic spool valves to make sure that there is no pres-
sure in the hydraulic hoses.
To expel all the air from the oil in the hydraulic cylinders,
test all the functions after you connect the hydraulic con-
nections to the tractor, especially before you enter or drive
on the public roads. Otherwise you risk that the header
suddenly moves downward after you open the transport
lock.
