8.3 Connecting the hydraulic lines
WARNING! - If the hydraulic hoses are interchanged when connecting them to the
hydraulic system of the tractor, the functions will be interchanged as well.
Effect: Injuries, serious damage to the machine
• Identify the hydraulic connections.
• Always ensure correct connection between the machine and the tractor.
• When connecting and removing the hydraulic hoses to and from the tractor hydraulics take
care that the hydraulics are pressureless both on the tractor side and the machine side.
Caution! - Soiling of the hydraulic system
Effect: Damages to the machine
• When connecting the quick couplings, ensure that these are clean and dry.
• Note chafing areas or points of contact.
Note
Connect hydraulic hoses correctly.
• The hydraulic hoses are marked with numbers and coloured dust caps.
• Switch the control units on the tractor to float position.
• Depressurise the hydraulic system on the tractor and the machine.
• Shut down and safeguard the machine, see chapter Safety -> Safety routines, "Shutting
down and safeguarding the machine".
Fig.
• Connect the hydraulic coupling (red 1+) of the machine to a single-action control unit of the
tractor.
For design with hydraulic working width setting:
• Connect the hydraulic couplings (blue 2+ / blue 2-) of the machine to a double-action control
unit of the tractor.
