Precautions when coupling
Before attaching the machine, make sure that it cannot
accidentally start moving (chock the wheels) and that the
parking stand is in the right position.
The machine must only be attached to the hitch points
provided for this purpose.
Never stand between the tractor and the machine when
operating the three point linkage.
Do not stand between the tractor and the machine
without ensuring that the parking brake is applied.
„ Hydraulic circuit
Caution! The hydraulic circuit is under high pressure.
Maximum pressure at work: 215 bar.
Before connecting hoses to the tractor hydraulics,
ensure that tractor and machine circuits are not under
pressure. Before disconnecting a hose, depressurize the
hydraulic circuit.
To avoid making incorrect connections, mark hydraulic
couplers and corresponding hoses with colors.
WARNING! Functions could be reversed (for example:
lift/lower) and cause accidents.
Regularly check the hydraulic hoses. In case of normal
wear, replace the hydraulic hoses every 5 years.
Damaged or worn hoses must immediately be replaced.
When replacing the hydraulic hoses, only use hoses with
the specification recommended by the manufacturer of
the machine.
To locate a leak, use appropriate means. Protect body
and hands from liquid under pressure.
Any liquid under pressure (particularly oil from
hydraulics) can penetrate the skin and cause severe
injury. If injured, see a doctor immediately, there could
be danger of infection.
Before any adjustments, maintenance or repairs are
carried out, lower the machine to the ground,
depressurize the hydraulics, turn off the engine, remove
ignition key and wait until all moving parts have come to
a complete stop.
