WARNING
Risk of accident due to spraying hydraulic fluid
Fluid (hydraulic oil) escaping under high pressure can penetrate
the skin and cause severe injuries. In case of injury, seek medical
attention immediately.
When searching for leaks, use suitable aids to prevent eye inju-
ries.
Always wear appropriate protective clothing.
Visually inspect the hydraulic couplings.
Check that the hydraulic couplings are not leaking hydraulic fluid.
Connect the hydraulic lines to the tractor.
Leak-test the hoses under pressure.
Defective or leaking couplings must be repaired or replaced immediately by a
specialist workshop.
