Checking hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses are subject to natural aging. This limits their service life. The recommended
service life is 6 years, including a maximum storage time of 2 years. The date of manufacture is
printed on the hydraulic hoses. When checking hydraulic hoses, the state-specific conditions
(e.g., BGVU) must be observed.
Performing a visual inspection
Visually inspect all hydraulic hoses for damage and leaks and have them replaced by an
authorised specialist if necessary.
18.8
Cleaning the machine
WARNING
Eye damage caused by flying dirt particles!
When cleaning the machine with compressed air or with high-pressure cleaner, the dirt
particles are slung away at high speed. The dirt particles may hit the eyes and hurt them.
Keep persons away from working range.
When performing cleaning work with compressed air or with high-pressure cleaner, wear
suitable working clothes (for example eye protection).
NOTICE
Damage to the machine due to water damages with high-pressure cleaner
If the water jet from a high-pressure cleaner is aimed directly at bearings and electrical/
electronic components, these parts can be damaged.
Do not aim the water jet from high-pressure cleaner at bearings and electrics/electronic
components.
ü
The machine is shut down and safeguarded,
.
After each use, clean the following areas on the machine:
•
the complete area around the tying,
•
the drive wheels and the upper compression roller in the front bale chamber.
Also after each use, clean all moving parts on the brake linkage and brake lever with
compressed air, e.g. piston rod, brake lever and slack adjuster. This can prevent mechanical
blockages.
If required, repeat the cleaning several times a day.
