Checking the hydraulic
system
\
WARNING
Hydraulic oil is under high pressure
Never try to stop a leak with your fingers. Never try to locate a
hydraulic leak or try to contain it by hand! When inspecting always
use appropriate aid (e.g. a piece of wood or sheet metal) and wear
safety goggles, safety gloves and gloves! High pressure fluid
easily penetrates skin and clothes, causing severe injuries. In the
event of injury, contact your physician immediately!
\
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum hydraulic pressure of 210 bars/
3045 psi
Prevent the pressure in the
hydraulic system from exceeding 210
bars/3045 psi! Working above the permitted pressure may
damage your machine and result in dangerous situations.
\
WARNING
Keep your distance from the hydraulics during inspecting
and test running
Use a stick to bend the hydraulic hoses when checking them for
leakage. That way you will keep at sufficient distance. Oil jets or
hoses that snap back may cause serious physical injury due to the
prevailing pressure and temperature.
Work safely on the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system could be under high pressure. Do not work
on the hydraulic system without:
•
placing the tractor and machine on a firm, flat surface,
•
switching off the PTO shaft,
•
switching off the electronic control system,
•
releasing the pressure from the hydraulic system,
•
placing all controls in their neutral or park position,
•
switching off the tractor engine,
•
the key must be removed from the ignition,
•
engaging the parking brake of the tractor.
•
using the proper tools,
•
wear safety glasses, gloves and shoes.
Working in an unsafe manner on the hydraulic system could lead
to injury and damage to the machine. In the event of injury, contact
your physician immediately! There is also the risk of infection!
Before operating the hydraulic system, check all connections and
hoses for damage and leakage.
