Fasteners
Before operating your Brillion machine, check all
hardware for tightness.
After a few hours of use, check entire machine and
tighten any loose nuts or bolts. Daily or periodic checks
should be made thereafter.
When replacing bolts, be sure to use fasteners of equal
grade.
CAUTION
Hydraulic System
The first time the machine is connected to the tractor, or
any time the hydraulic circuit is opened, air must be bled
from the system
Check the hydraulic lines and cylinders for leaks before
starting operation each day.
When the machine is not to be used for some time,
exposed portions of the cylinder rods should be cleaned
and covered with a thin coat of grease. This will prevent
corrosion which will damage cylinder seals.
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly
invisible and have enough force to penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of
cardboard, rather than hands to search for
suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and
safety glasses or goggles when working with the
hydraulic system.
