Hydraulics
1. Caution! The hydraulic system is pressurized.
2. When connecting hydraulic rams and motors be
sure the hydraulic hoses are coupled as prescribed.
3. When coupling hydraulic hoses to the tractor hy-
draulics the hydraulic system must not be under
pressure, either at the tractor or at the implement
side.
4. In the case of hydraulic connections between tractor
and implement it is advisable to mark the coupling
sleeves and plugs to ensure correct fitting.
5. Check the hydraulic hoses at regular intervals and
renew them when damaged or worn. The new hoses
must comply with the technical requirements laid
down by the manufacturer of the implement.
6. When tracing leakages use appropriate protective
devices. Danger of injury!
7. Hydraulic oil forced out under high pressure can
break the skin and cause severe damage to health.
In case of injury by hydraulic oil report immediately
to a doctor as there is a grave risk of infection.
8. Before working on the hydraulics lower the imple-
ment, release pressure from the system and stop
the tractor engine.
Tyres
1. Prior to working on the tyres make sure the machine
is standing safely and secured against unintentional
movements (wheel chocks!).
2. The installation of tyres presupposes special know-
ledge as well as the availability of all necessary
tools.
3. Repair work on tyres and wheels may only be
carried out by skilled workers who use the appro-
priate tools.
4. Check the inflation pressure at regular intervals.
Take notice of the inflation pressure laid down.
Maintenance
1. As a rule, disengage the driving system and stop the
engine before carrying out any maintenance,
servicing or cleaning work and before remedying
operational disorders. Always remove the ignition
key.
2. Check all bolts and nuts at regular intervals and
retighten as required.
3. Prop the implement with appropriate supports before
carrying out any maintenance work under the lifted
machine.
4. When changing working elements with cutting edges
use appropriate tools and protective gloves.
5. Discard used oil, fuel and filters according to regula-
tions.
6. When working on the electric system always cut out
the current supply.
7. All protective devices subject to wear must be
checked regularly and renewed if worn or damaged.
8. Before carrying out electric welding on the tractor or
mounted implement detach the cable from both
alternator and battery.
9. Spare parts must comply with the technical require-
ments specified by the manufacturer. This is
assured by the use of genuine spare parts.
10.When filling up gas accumulators use nitrogen only.
Danger of explosion!
