2.19.5 Hydraulic system
• The hydraulic system is under high pressure!
• Connect hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic rams and motors according to the
advice in the instructions!
• When fitting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic sockets always ensure
that both the hydraulic system on the tractor and on the implement is without
pressure.
• To avoid wrong hydraulic connection, sockets and plugs should be marked
(e.g. colour coded!
• This helps to prevent contrary function (lifting instead of lowering or vice versa.
Danger of accident!
• All hydraulic hoses must be checked for their operational safety in regular
intervals. In case of damage or ageing replace the hydraulic hoses. The re-
placement hoses must correspond to the technical demands of the implement
manufacturer.
• When searching for leaks appropriate aids should be used because of the
danger of injury.
• Liquids leaking under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and
cause severe injury!
• When injured see a doctor immediately! Danger of infection!
• Before starting to do repair work to the hydraulic system release the pressure,
lower machine to the ground and stop tractor engine!
• All hydraulic hoses must be checked for their operational safety by a skilled
person before the first operation of the machine and then at least once a year!
Exchange hydraulic hoses in case of damage or ageing. The replacement
hoses must correspond to the technical demands of the implement manufac-
turer.
• The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed six years including a
possible storing period of two years maximum. Also when stored and used
properly hoses and hose circuits do age. Therefore, their longevity and period
of use is limited.. Deviations from the above may be accepted by the Health-
and Safety Authorities depending on the experience they have had and the
danger potential. For hoses and hose circuits made of thermoplasts other guide
lines may prevail.
