3.4 Wheels, Tyres, Brakes
To ensure operation safety, wheels, tyres and brakes are subject to special checks.
Retighten wheel nuts after a short period of use and after every 50 hours of operation (see note 11.3)
Check air pressure regularly (see note 5)
Check tyres as well as wheels and brakes regularly for wear and tear. Check brake lines regularly for leaks and
good general condition.
Connect brake system properly before start-up.
Adjustments and repairs to the brake system are only to be carried out by authorized brake service centres or
qualified personnel.
Fitting tyres and wheels requires specialist knowledge and equipment.
If you wish to use a different tyre size, please consult the vehicle manufacturer first.
3.5 Hydraulics
Check the hydraulic lines and hose as well as fittings and parts for damage and leaks regularly. Hydraulic hoses
should be replaced every 6 years. Only use spare parts that meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
Ensure that the hydraulic hoses never bend or rub.
When connecting to tractor, make sure the hydraulic system is depressurised both on the tractor and machine side
and make sure the hydraulic connections do not get mixed up (accident risk due to reversed functions). Keep the
hydraulic couplings clean.
Attention:
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Before carrying out any
maintenance or repair work, always depressurise the system.
Liquids (hydraulic oil) escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injuries
and infections.
Never try to block leaks with your fingers.
If injuries occur, consult a doctor or medical services immediately.
