Hydraulic hoses can be connected to the tractor's hydraulics provided that both the tractor’s and
the mower's hydraulic assemblies are not under pressure. To remove the pressure from the
hoses, start the tractor's hydraulic valves several times with the tractor off.
When unmounting the machine from the tractor, put the equipment aside, deflate the pressure
from hydraulics and turn tractor's engine off.
When looking for oil leaks, do so safely. Use a cardboard card. Do not touch any potential leaks
until the entire hydraulic assembly has been relieved of pressure.
Use only hydraulic oil featuring oil purity class 9 - 10 in accordance with NAS 1638.
When using hydraulic hoses:
Avoid stretching the hoses when operating.
Do not allow hydraulic hoses to get deflected.
Do not expose hydraulic hoses to contact with any sharp edges.
If damaged or worn, replace the hoses with new ones.
Useful life for hydraulic hoses is 5 years from their production date.
