Hydraulic
connections
Check hoses and couplings
Check all hydraulic hoses for damage before connecting them.
Check all hydraulic couplings for firm seating after connecting
them. Defective hydraulic hoses and poorly fitting hydraulic con-
nections can trigger unpredictable movements of the machine,
causing severe damage to the machine as well as personal injury.
Serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Secure the tractor's control devices
In the transport position, secure the control devices on the tractor
against unintended actuation and lock them if possible. Unintenti-
onal activation of a control device can trigger unpredictable move-
ments of the machine and cause serious machine damage and
personal injury. Serious or fatal injury may be caused as a result.
Check the routing of the hydraulic hoses
Close or disconnect the quick couplings with great care. Remove
any dirt or air which has entered the hydraulic system. The hyd-
raulic system may otherwise be seriously damaged. Material da-
mage or personal injury may be caused as a result.
Avoid mixing oils
If the machine is used on different tractors, an impermissible mi-
xing of oil may occur. Impermissible oil mixtures can irreparably
damage tractor components.
