General safety instructions for the hydraulic system
•
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
•
When connecting hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors make sure that the hydraulic
hoses are correctly connected.
•
When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics, make sure that the hydraulic
systems on the tractor and on the spreader are unpressurised.
•
The female and male couplings between the tractor and the spreader should be labelled to
prevent incorrect connections.
•
Check hydraulic lines at regular intervals, and replace them in the case of damage or ageing.
Replacement hydraulic lines must meet the technical requirements of the equipment
manufacturer.
•
Checking for leaks is hazardous. Use suitable aids to check for leaks.
•
Fluid escaping under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause serious
injuries. Seek medical attention immediately for injuries. Danger of infection!
•
Lower spreader, switch engine off and depressurise the system before starting work on the
hydraulic system.
•
The service life of the hydraulic hoses is six years from the date of manufacture. The month
and year of manufacture of the hydraulic hoses is stamped on the hose fitting.
•
Even when stored correctly and subject to approved loads hoses and hose connections are
subject to a natural ageing process. This limits their storage life and service life.
Warning symbols
Warning symbols have important information for operating the spreader without danger.
•
Replace warning symbols if they are missing or illegible.
•
Replacement warning symbols can be obtained from the spare-parts service.
•
Clean dust, dirt and grease from the surface and dry it before attaching replacement stickers.
•
When installing new components after repairs, the specified warning symbols must be used
and attached to the new part.
