Self-Propelled Peanut Combine Hydraulic System Service
If the hydraulic system should be disconnected
for service, protect the ends of hoses, tubing,
and ports of components from contamination
with clean, lint-
free towels, or clean plastic
bags.
Before installing any replacement hose, flush
the i
nside with unused diesel fuel or unused
commercial petroleum cleaning solvent for ten
seconds minimum. Do NOT use water, water
soluble cleaners or compressed air.
When coupling, remove cover from multi-
coupler and attach to docking station on
header. Clean both multi-
coupler faces on
feeder house and on header to remove dirt
and debris.
Use extreme care when working with
hydraulic components. Escaping fluid
under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard
by relieving pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard.
Protect hands and body from high
pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor
immediately. Any fluid injected into the
skin must be surgically removed within a
few hours or gangrene may result.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury
may call the Deere & Company Medical
Department in Moline, Illinois, or other
knowledgeable medical source.
