Uncoupling

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system is pressurised.

When connecting the hydraulic system:

Ensure that the tractor/machine assembly are not pressurised.

Connect the hydraulic system, following the instructions in the user 
manual. 

Colour code sockets, so as to prevent incorrect connections 
(inverting functions could cause an accident).

Before any intervention on the hydraulic system

Block the folding extensions hydraulically controlled accessories in 
their rest position.

Reduce the pressure.

Stop the tractor engine.

Other instructions

Follow instructions

In addition to the instructions listed above, always obey: 

Accident prevention regulations

generally recognised safety regulations, occupational health 
requirements and road traffic regulations,

the notes that can be found in the user manual,

instructions for use, maintenance and servicing.

High risk of injury when uncoupling the machine.

Therefore :

Immobilise the tractor,

Never position yourself between the tractor and the machine 
during uncoupling.

Slowly and carefully actuate the tractor’s hydraulic lift.

Make sure that the machine is on flat and sufficiently stable 
ground.

Connect or disconnect hydraulic tubes, only if there is no 
pressure in the tractor’s and machine’s hydraulic system.
