Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings after 5 hours’ work. Beware of hydraulic
oil leaks, they can cause serious injury while the engine is running and the
system is under pressure. A leak can easily inject high pressure oil deep into
flesh and blood stream requiring immediate medical attention. DO NOT
CHECK FOR LEAKS WHILE THE PTO IS ENGAGED. Hoses to the feed
roller hydraulic motors are the most likely to become damaged as they are
constantly moving during use. If hoses are replaced, all seals must be
replaced at the same time.
Check top and bottom feed motor bracket bolts weekly.
