Connecting the
hydraulics
\ WARNING
Check hoses and couplings
Check all hydraulic hoses for damage before connecting them.
Check all hydraulic couplings for firm seating after connecting
them. Defective hydraulic hoses and poorly fitting hydraulic
connections can trigger unpredictable movements of the machine,
causing severe damage to the machine as well as personal injury.
Serious or fatal injury may be caused if these guidelines are not
followed.
Secure the tractor's control devices
In the transport position, secure the tractor's control devices
against unintended actuation and lock them if possible. Uninten-
tional activation of a control device can trigger unpredictable
movements of the machine and cause serious machine damage
and personal injury. Serious or fatal injury may be caused if these
guidelines are not followed.
Check the routing of the hydraulic hoses
Close or disconnect the quick couplings with great care. Remove
any dirt or air which has entered the hydraulic system. The
hydraulic system may otherwise be seriously damaged. Material
damage or personal injury may be caused as a result.
Avoid mixing oils
If the machine is used on different tractors, an impermissible
mixing of oil may occur. Impermissible oil mixtures can irreparably
damage tractor components.
Hydraulic connection at zero pressure only
Only connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic system if the
tractor and machine hydraulic system is at zero pressure. A
hydraulic system which is under pressure can trigger
unpredictable movements of the machine. Serious or fatal injury
may be caused if these guidelines are not followed.
High pressures in the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Regularly check all
lines, hoses, and screwed connections for leaks and externally
visible damage. Never use your hands to search for suspected
leaks; only use suitable equipment. Rectify any damage
immediately. Fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin
may result in injuries and fires. Seek medical attention
immediately if injuries occur.
