Checking the
hydraulic system
Hydraulic oil is under high pressure
Never try to stop a leak with your fingers. Never try to locate a
hydraulic leak or contain it by hand. When inspecting always use a
piece of wood or something similar and wear safety goggles and
gloves. High pressure fluid easily penetrates skin and clothes, causing
severe injuries. In the event of injury, contact your physician
immediately!
Do not exceed the maximum hydraulic pressure of 200 bars
Prevent the pressure in the
hydraulic system from exceeding 200
bars! Working above the permitted pressure may damage your
machine and result in dangerous situations.
Maintain a suitable distance from the hydraulics when inspecting
and testing
Use a stick to bend the hydraulic hoses when checking them for
leakage. That way you will maintain sufficient distance.
Oil jets or hoses that snap back may cause serious physical injury due
to the prevailing pressure and temperature.
Work safely on the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system could be under high pressure. Do not work on
the hydraulic system without:
•
releasing the pressure from the hydraulic system,
•
switch the control box off,
•
switching the tractor off,
•
removing the key from the ignition,
•
engaging the parking brake of the tractor,
•
using the proper tools,
•
wearing safety glasses, gloves and shoes.
Working in an unsafe manner on the hydraulic system could lead to
injury and damage the machine. In the event of injury, contact your
physician immediately! There is also the risk of infection.
Before operating the hydraulic system, check all connections and
hoses for damage and leakage.
Replacement intervals
Regularly inspect the hydraulic system (hoses, pipes, connections).
All hoses, piping and connecting points must be checked regularly, but
at least once a year by an expert, for leakages or visible damage! The
lifetime of a hose should be 6 years maximum (see the production
date on the hoses).
Damaged or old parts must be replaced with new ones that comply
with the technical specifications of the manufacturer of the machine.
Damage to the hydraulic system could lead to injury.
