3.11.2 Selection and qualification of personnel
The driver of the tractor must have the relevant driving licence.
All work on the implement must only be carried out by qualified, trained person-
nel. These persons must not be under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion.
Maintenance and care work must only be carried out by qualified, trained per-
sonnel.
Work on electrical components must only be carried out by a qualified electrici-
an according to the valid electrical engineering rules.
3.11.3 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors, ensure that the specified hyd-
raulic hose connection is used.
When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics, make sure that
the hydraulic system is depressurised on both the tractor and the implement.
If there are hydraulic functional connections between the tractor and the imple-
ment, coupling sleeves and plugs must be identified to prevent operating errors.
If the connections are reversed, the function is reversed (e.g. raising/lowering) -
Risk of accident.
Check hydraulic hose lines regularly and replace if damaged or showing signs
of aging. The replacement hose lines must meet the technical requirements sti-
pulated by the implement manufacturer.
When searching for leaks, use appropriate equipment because of the risk of in-
jury.
Fluid (hydraulic fluid) which escapes under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and cause severe injuries. If injuries occur, call a doctor immediately. Risk of in-
fection.
Before working on the hydraulic system, set down the implement, depressurise
the system and shut down the motor.
