connections
Hydraulic coupling only pressureless
Only couple the hydraulic hoses to the tractor when both tractor and
machine hydraulics are pressureless. Hydraulics under pressure can
cause accidental movements of the machine.
Avoid oil mixture
When using the machine in combination with different tractors,
improper oil mixture can take place. Improper oil mixture can destroy
tractor parts.
Avoid entering of dirt into the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system can get seriously damaged. Personal injuries or
material damage can be caused.
Check hoses and couplings
Before connecting, check all hydraulic hoses for damages. After
connecting check all hydraulic couplings for tight connection.
Defective hydraulic hoses or bad connected hydraulic couplings can
cause injuries or unforeseen movements of the machine.
Secure tractor hydraulic devices
In transport position tractor hydraulic devices must be secured against
unintentional movements. Unintentional movements of the hydraulic
device can cause serious injuries or unforeseen movements of the
machine.
Check correct position and laying of hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses may not stick or tighten. Pay attention to sufficient
free space. Torn or stuck hydraulic hoses cause serious damages of
the machine and serious injuries.
Coupling
> Ensure the quick coupler is clean
> Make sure the tractor hydraulic valve is pressureless
> Couple the hydraulic coupling to a single acting hydraulic valve
