Brakes
• Check the function of the brakes before starting work!
• The brake systems must be checked thoroughly at regular intervals!
• Adjustment and repairs to the brake system must only be carried out by
approved workshops or approved brake service shops. Only use the specified
brake fluid and renew as specified.
Hydraulic equipment
• The hydraulic equipment is under high pressure!
• When connecting hydraulic rams and motors, the hydraulic hoses must be
connected as directed!
• Always release hydraulic pressure from both tractor and machine before
connecting the hydraulic hoses.
• Coupling sleeves and connectors for hydraulic functional connections between
the tractor and machine should be marked in order to rule out operator errors. If
the connections are reversed, the opposite function is carried out (e.g.
raising/lowering) and there is a risk of accidents!
• Check the hydraulic hoses regularly and replace them in the event of damage
or signs of ageing! The replacement hoses must comply with the technical
specification as laid down by Lemken!
• When searching for leaks, appropriate equipment should be used because of
the danger of injury!
• Hydraulic oil escaping at high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury! Consult a doctor immediately in the case of injury. Danger of
infection!
• Before working on any hydraulic equipment, lower all implements/attachments,
release hydraulic pressure where possible and switch off the tractor engine!
