3.11.2 Personnel selection and qualifications
The driver of the tractor must have the appropriate driving licence.
Any work on the device may be carried out by trained and instructed personnel
only. Personnel must not be on drugs, intoxicated or taking medication.
Servicing and maintenance work may be carried out by trained technicians or
appropriately instructed persons only.
Only electricians may work on the electrical components in accordance with the
electro-technical regulations.
3.11.3 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors, ensure that the specified hy-
draulic hose connection is used.
When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics, make sure that
the hydraulic system is depressurised on both the tractor and the implement.
If there are hydraulic functional connections between the tractor and the imple-
ment, coupling sleeves and plugs must be identified to prevent operating errors.
If the connections are reversed, the function is reversed (e.g. raising/lowering) -
Risk of accident.
Check hydraulic hose lines regularly and replace if damaged or showing signs
of aging. The replacement hose lines must meet the technical requirements
stipulated by the implement manufacturer.
When searching for leaks, use appropriate equipment because of the risk of in-
jury.
Fluid (hydraulic fluid) which escapes under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and cause severe injuries. If injuries occur, call a doctor immediately. Risk of in-
fection.
Before working on the hydraulic system, set down the implement, depressurise
the system and shut down the motor.
