Maintenance
6-18 January 2019
Contact your nearest Dealer for genuine repair parts.
Dealers carry ample stocks and are backed by the
manufacture and regional associations.
Note: Extreme care must be taken to maintain
a clean hydraulic system. Use only new
hydraulic fluid when filling reservoir.
Hydraulics
Refer to Section 1 regarding hydraulic safety. In addition:
• Inspect hydraulic system for leaks, damaged
hoses and loose fittings. CRITICAL - ACTIVE
HYDRAULICS WILL CONTINUE TO LOOSE OIL
TO THE ATMOSHPERE/ENVIRONMENT IF A LEAK
GOES UNDETECTED - INSPECT REGULARLY.
• Damaged hoses and hydraulic tubing can only
be repaired by replacement. DO NOT ATTEMPT
REPAIRS WITH TAPE OR CEMENTS. High
pressure will burst such repairs and cause system
failure and possible injury.
• Always relieve hydraulic pressure from the system
before performing maintenance or repairs.
• Leaking cylinders - install a new seal kit.
• Fittings - use liquid Teon on all NPT hydraulic joints.
Do not use liquid Teon or Teon tape on JIC or
ORB ends.
• Hydraulic Hose Connections - when connecting the
hoses to the cylinders, tubing, etc. always use one
wrench to keep the hose from twisting and another
wrench to tighten the union. Excessive twisting will
shorten hose life.
• Keep ttings and couplers clean.
• Check the Tractor Manual for proper lter replacement
schedule.
Refer to the Trouble Shooting Section.
Warning
HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before servicing or
disconnecting hoses.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for
leaks. Use wood or cardboard instead of hands.
• Keep all components in good repair.
Caution
Dirt in the hydraulic system could damage
O-rings, causing leakage, pressure loss and
total system failure.
