Connecting the
hydraulics
Connecting the
hydraulic couplings
Close the ball valve.
Set the tractor hydraulics to “free float”.
Switch off the tractor and secure it.
Connect the machine's hydraulic coupling to the single-acting
hydraulic control device.
Check hoses and couplings
Check all hydraulic hoses for damage before connecting them.
Check all hydraulic couplings for firm seating after connecting
them. Defective hydraulic hoses and poorly fitting hydraulic
connections can trigger unpredictable movements of the machine,
causing severe damage to the machine as well as personal injury.
Serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Secure the tractor's control devices
In the transport position, secure the tractor's control devices
against unintended actuation and lock them if possible. Uninten-
tional activation of a control device can trigger unpredictable
movements of the machine and cause serious machine damage
and personal injury. Serious or fatal injury may be caused as a
result.
Check the routing of the hydraulic hoses
Close or disconnect the quick-release couplings with great care.
Remove any dirt or air which has entered the hydraulic system.
The hydraulic system may otherwise be seriously damaged.
Material damage or personal injury may be caused as a result.
Avoid mixing oils
If the machine is used on different tractors, an impermissible
mixing of oil may occur. Impermissible oil mixtures can irreparably
damage tractor components.
Ensure the connection is correct
Make sure that the hydraulics are connected correctly. Otherwise,
injuries and damage to the machine may be caused as a result.
