Prior to installation of an hydraulic system for automatic control of a
machine, the installer has to collect data about the type, model, serial
number, whether it is open center, closed center, load sense or pilot
controlled hydraulic system. Refer also to the machines manufacturer’s
user manual or marketing material to get the information and also refer
the Leica Geosystems Machine database to collect information on known
machines.
For hydraulic hoses it is important to find a suitable place for the hydraulic
valve on the machine and measure the hose length between the connec-
tions on the cylinders and hydraulic valve providing sufficient length.
Identify the type of hydraulic connections on the machine such as JIC or
ORFS-Fittings.
Only personal that have been trained and authorised by Leica Geosystems
are allowed to perform hydraulic, mechanical or electrical installations on
machines.
