HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. Beware ! The hydraulic circuit is under pressure (maximum working pressure : 200 bars/2900 psi).
2. When fitting hydraulic motors or cylinders, ensure that connections have been made correctly, as per
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Before connecting hoses to the tractor hydraulics, ensure that tractor and machine circuits are not under
pressure.
4. It is strongly recommended that the operator marks the hydraulic connections between tractor and machine to
avoid making a wrong connection. WARNING ! Functions could be reversed (for example : lift/lower).
5. Regularly check the hydraulic hoses ! Replace the hydraulic hoses every 5 years. Damaged or worn hoses must
immediately be replaced .
When replacing the hydraulic hoses, make sure to use hoses with the specifications and quality recommended
by the manufacturer of the machine.
6. Should a leak be found, take all necessary precautions to avoid accidents.
7. 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.
8. Before any adjustments, maintenance or repairs are carried out, lower the machine, depressurize the circuit, turn
off the engine and remove ignition key.
TIRES
1. Before any adjustments, maintenance or repairs are carried out, ensure that the machine rests on the ground
and is perfectly stable so that it cannot move accidentally (put wedges in place).
2. Assembly, disassembly and repair of wheels and tires must only be carried out by competent persons who are
equipped with standardized tools.
3. Check tire pressure regularly !
Respect manufacturer’s recommendations on tire pressure.
