General guidelines for hydraulic system servicing
1.
When coupling the hydraulic hose with the tractor's hydraulic system, make sure that the
hydraulic systems of the tractor and of the machine have been depressurised.
2. Periodically inspect all hydraulic lines and replace with new ones when damaged or expired.
Replaced hydraulic lines must meet the applicable technical requirements.
3.
Before servicing the hydraulic system, lower the machine, turn off the tractor engine and
remove the ignition key.
Warning!
Travelling on public roads without the identification required by the
traffic code is forbidden.
4.
The operating life of hydraulic lines shall not exceed 5 years (including storage for up to
two years). The hydraulic lines age and weather, which is natural. Hence the operating and
storage life is limited.
5.
Never attempt to seal leaking hydraulic lines with your hands or fingers. The liquid (hydraulic
oil) which escapes under high pressure may puncture skin, penetrate the body and cause
severe injury. If injured by hydraulic oil, immediately seek medical attention. Danger of
infection.

Warning symbols
The big-bag fertiliser suspended loader features adhesive labels with warning
and information symbols for the user and also indicating that the operating
instructions must be read for operation, maintenance and transport.
Keep the symbols clean. If damaged or lost, apply a new sticker of the same
type.
New labels are available for purchase from the manufacturer.
The warning signs must always be legible. If signs are illegible or
destroyed, new ones are available for purchase from METAL-
FACH dealers as spare parts.
