HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
1 -
Caution! The hydraulic circuit is pressurized.
2 - When
fi
tting hydraulic motors or cylinders,
ensure that the circuits are connected correctly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
3 - Before
fi
tting a hose to the tractor’s hydraulic
circuit, ensure that the tractor-side and machine-side
circuits are not pressurized.
4 - The user of the machine is strongly recommended
to identify the hydraulic couplings between the
tractor and the machine in order to avoid wrong
connection. Caution! There is a danger of reversing
the functions (for example: raise/lower).
5 - Check hydraulic hoses once a year:
. Damage to the outer surface
. Porosity of the outer surface
. Deformation with and without pressure
. State of the
fi
ttings and seals
The maximum working life for hoses is 6 years.
When replacing them, ensure that only hoses with
the
specifi
cations and grade recommended by the
machine manufacturer are used.
6 - When a leak is found, all necessary precautions
should be taken to avoid accidents.
7 -
Pressurized liquid, particularly hydraulic circuit
oil, may cause serious injury if it comes into contact
with the skin. If the case of injury, consult a doctor
immediately. There is a risk of infection.
8 - Before any operation on the hydraulic circuit,
lower the machine, release the pressure from the
cir
cuit, turn off
the engine and remove the key from
the ignition.
MAINTENANCE
1 - Before commencing any maintenance, servicing
or repair work, or before attempting to locate the
source of a breakdown or fault, it is essential that the
power take-
off
is disengaged
, the engine turned off
and the key removed from the ignition.
2 - Check regularly that nuts and screws are not
loose. Tighten if necessary.
3 - Before carrying out maintenance work on a
raised machine, prop it up using appropriate means
of support.
4 - When replacing a working part (fertilizer spreader
blade or seed drill coulter), wear protective gloves
and only use appropriate tools.
5 - To protect the environment, it is forbidden to
throw away oil, grease or
fi
lters of any kind. Give
them to specialist recy
cling fi
rms.
6 -
Before operating on the electric circuit, disconnect
the power source.
7 - Protective devices likely to be exposed to wear
and tear should be checked regularly. Replace them
immediately if they are damaged.
8 -
Spare parts should comply with the standards
and
specifi
cations
defi
ned by the manufacturer.
Only use the manufacturer’s original parts.
9 -
Before commencing any electric welding work
on the tractor or the towed machine, disconnect the
alternator and battery cables.
10 - Repairs
aff
ecting parts under stress or pressure
(springs, pressure accumulators, etc.) should be
carried out by suitably qu
alifi
ed engineers with
special tools.
