2.16.2 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under a high pressure.
Ensure that the hydraulic hose lines are connected correctly.
When connecting the hydraulic hose lines, ensure that the hy-
draulic system is depressurised on both the machine and tractor
sides.
It is forbidden to lock the operator controls on the tractor used for
hydraulic and electrical movements of components, e.g. folding,
swivelling and pushing movements. The movement must stop
automatically when you release the appropriate control. This
does not apply to equipment movements that
are continuous
are automatically controlled
require a floating position or pressed position to function
Before working on the hydraulic system,
lower the machine
depressurise the hydraulic system
shut off the tractor engine
apply the parking brake
remove the ignition key
Have the hydraulic hose lines checked at least once a year by
an expert to ensure they are in safe working order. Replace the
hydraulic hose lines if they are damaged or worn. Only use gen-
uine AMAZONE hydraulic hose lines.
The hydraulic hose lines should not be used for longer than six
years, including any storage time of maximum two years. Even
with proper storage and approved use, hoses and hose connec-
tions are subject to natural ageing, thus limiting storage time and
the length of use. However, it may be possible to specify the
length of use from experience values, in particular when taking
the risk potential into account. In the case of hoses and hose
connections made from thermoplastics, other guide values may
be decisive.
Never attempt to plug leaks in hydraulic hose lines using your
hand or fingers.
Escaping high pressure fluid (hydraulic fluid) may pass through
the skin and ingress into the body, causing serious injuries.
If you are injured by hydraulic fluid, contact a doctor immediately.
Risk of infection
When searching for leaks, use suitable aids to avoid the serious
risk of infection.
