6.17 Hydraulic system
WARNUNG
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Hot hydraulic fluid may emit from leaks and cause severe injuries! The prestress of the
pressure reservoirs is present even when the remaining hydraulic system is already
pressureless. When dirt, even only in the smallest quantities, enters the hydraulic sys-
tem, this may lead to serious damage to the complete hydraulic system.
– Work on pressure reservoirs of the machine may only be performed by trained per-
sonnel.
– When working on the pressure reservoirs, the machine must first be rendered com-
pletely pressureless.
– The pressure reservoirs themselves may in no case be damaged or opened,
because substantial injuries to people can occur due to the constant prestress.
– During all work on the hydraulic system, ensure extreme cleanliness.

Regularly check the hoses of the hydraulic system for aging and damage! Immediately
exchange damaged or aged hoses. Only use original ROPA hoses or hoses fully con-
forming to the technical specifications of the original hoses! Observe the regionally
applying safety regulations on the service life of hydraulic hoses.
The hydraulic system is operational after the diesel engine has been started. To spare
the hydraulic system, the engine rotational speed during the first minutes (about
5 min.) after a cold start should in no case exceed the value of 1300 min-
1
. Even
higher rotational speeds for short times should be avoided. If the machine is fitted with
park heating, use it to preheat the hydraulic oil.
At outside temperatures below +10 °C proceed as follows when starting work and
switching on the machine: shut off the drives for recleaning and pickup before switch-
ing on the machine drive. To do this press the keys (9) (8) and (7) on the right joy-
stick in succession. The R-Touch will then display the drives in white. Switch on the
machine drive by briefly pressing the key (6) on the right joystick. The hydraulic system
is operating and the rollers are stationary. Wait two to three minutes before switching
on the drives one after the other.
If the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is 70° C or higher, or when the icon is dis-
played on the R-Touch, immediately clean the hydraulic oil cooler.
