Hydraulic
connections
Hydraulic connections only pressureless
Only connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor when all hydraulic systems
are pressureless. Hydraulics under pressure can cause accidental
movements of the machine with serious damage and injuries as a result.
Searching for hydraulic oil leaks
Never search for leaks by touching hydraulic hoses and hydraulic
connections, even when your hands are protected with a protective
skin cream or oil-resistant gloves.
Due to high pressure and very little holes in case of leakages, the
hydraulic oil will go through protection devices and your skin!
Hydraulic oil may come into your bloodstream, which is
lifethreatening!
Avoid oil mixture
If the machine is used at different tractors improper oil mixtures can
occur, which may destroy tractor and machine parts.
Avoid entering of dirt into the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system can get seriously damaged by dirt. Personal
injuries or material damage can be caused.
Check hoses and connections
Before connecting, check all hydraulic hoses for damages. After
connecting, check all hydraulic hoses for tight connection. Defective
hydraulic hoses or incorrect positioned hydraulic connectors can
cause unforeseen movements of the machine. Serious damage or
fatal injuries can occur.
Secure hydraulic devices
In transport position, secure the hydraulic control devices at the tractor
against unintended actuation and lock if possible. Unintended
actuation of the hydraulic device may lead to unexpected movements
of the machine. Fatal injuries and serious damage can be caused.
Check correct position and layout of hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses may not be jammed or under tension. Pay attention
to sufficient play. Twisted or jammed hydraulic hoses can cause serious
injuries and damages to the machine.
Hydraulic hoses
