Subject to technical modifications
2.3 Hydraulic system
• The hydraulic system is under high pressure!
• Pay attention to the specified connection of the hydraulic hoses when connecting the hydraulic cylinders
and motors!
• Pay attention to the pressure-free connection both at the tractor and at the implement when connecting
hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic system of the tractor!
• The coupling sleeves and plugs of hydraulic functional connections between tractor and implement should
be labelled to prevent operating errors! Mixing up the connections leads to reverse functions (e.g. lifting/
lowering) - danger of accidents!
• Check hydraulic hoses regularly and replace if damaged! The replacement hoses must comply with the
technical specifications of the implement manufacturer!
• Use suitable tools wenn looking for leakages because of the risk of injury!
• Liquids (hydraulic oil) escaping under high pressure may penetrate the skin and cause severe injury!
Consult a physician immediately in case of injury! Risk of infection!
• Set down implements, depressurise the system, switch off the engine and take out the ignition key before
starting any work at the hydraulic system!
2.4 Maintenance
• On principle, do any servicing, maintenance and repair works as well as removal of operating errors only
when the operating mechanism is switched off and the motor is at a standstill! Take out the ignition key!
• Check nuts and screws regularly for tightness and retighten if necessary!
• Always secure the implement with suitable supports when doing maintenance works at the lifted implement!
• Use suitable tools and gloves when replacing working tools with blades!
• Dispose of oils, grease and filters properly!
• Always disconnect power before starting any works at the electrical system!
• Disconnect the cable at the generator and the battery when doing any electrical welding works at the tractor
and the mounted implements!
• Any spare parts must at least comply with the technical requirements set by the implement manufacturer!
Therefore, use original spare parts to protect yourself!
