Ensure to properly connect the hydraulic hose pipes!
Do not block any operating elements on the tractor, which serve to directly initiate hydraulic or
electrical movements of components, e. g. folding, swivelling and sliding operations!
The respective movement must automatically stop as soon as the operating element is released.
This shall not apply to:
continuous movements of devices,
automatically controlled movements of devices,
movements of devices which, for functional reasons, require an open-centre or pressing
position.
Before carrying out any work on the hydraulic system:
put the machine down,
secure lifted movable machine parts against accidental lowering,
depressurize the hydraulic system,
turn the tractor engine off,
pull the ignition key out,
apply the parking brake.
Have hydraulic hose pipes checked for their operational safety by an expert at least once a year!
Hydraulic hose pipes must be replaced in case of visible defects, damage and ageing! Only use
original hydraulic hose pipes!
The period of use of the hydraulic hose pipes should not exceed six years, including a maximum
possible shelf life of two years!
Even when properly stored and exposed to admissible stress, hoses and hose connections are
subject to natural ageing, which involves a limited shelf life and period of use. Notwithstanding
these facts, the period of use may be specified according to experience, in particular taking into
account the risk potential. For thermoplastic hoses and hose pipes, other reference values may
be relevant.
Never try to block leaking hydraulic hose pipes with your hand or fingers! Immediately contact an
authorized workshop if a leak is suspected.
Hydraulic oil squirting out under high pressure may enter the skin and the body and cause
serious injuries.
If injuries caused by hydraulic oil occur, immediately contact the medical services. Risk of
infection!
Never try to detect leakage points with your bare hands. Risk of serious infection! Use
appropriate means when trying to locate leakage points (cleaning sprays, special leak detector
spray)!
3.4.3
Electrical system
Before carrying out any work on the electrical system, disconnect the minus pole of the battery!
Always cover the plus pole of the battery as required. Risk of explosion in case of accidental
ground!
Only use the specified fuses. When using bigger fuses, the electrical system may be destroyed.
Risk of fire!
Ensure correct order when connecting and disconnecting the battery:
connection: first connect the plus pole, then the minus pole,
disconnection: first disconnect the minus pole, then the plus pole!
Avoid sparking and open fire in the vicinity of the battery! Risk of explosion!
