3.4.2 Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is highly pressurized!
• Make sure the hydraulic hose lines are correctly connected!
• When connecting the hydraulic hose lines, make sure that the
hydraulic system is pressure-less both on the tractor and on the
machine!
• Do not block any control elements on the tractor whose function
is to directly implement the components’ hydraulic or electric
movements, e.g. tilting, swivelling and sliding procedures!
Each movement must stop automatically the relevant control
device is released.
This does not apply to movements of equipment:
ο which are continuous,
ο which are automatically controlled,
ο whose function requires a float or pressure position.
• Before working on the hydraulic system:
ο set down the machine,
ο secure raised moving parts of the machine against
accidental lowering,
ο render the hydraulic system pressure-less,
ο switch off the tractor engine,
ο apply the parking brake,
ο remove ignition key!
• Have the hydraulic hose lines checked out for their safe working
condition at least once a year by a specialist!
• Replace hydraulic hose lines showing obvious defects, damage
and signs of ageing! Always use genuine hydraulic hose lines!
• Hydraulic hose lines should not be used for longer than six years,
including a possible storage time of a maximum of two years!
Even when hose and hose lines have been stored and used
correctly, they are still subject to natural ageing processes,
which is why their storage time and length of usage is limited.
Periods of usage differing from the above may have to be
applied to take into account empirical values and in particular
accident potential. Other guidelines can apply for hose and
hydraulic hose lines made of thermoplastics
• Never try to block leaks in hydraulic hose lines with your hands
or fingers!
Hydraulic oil escaping under high pressure can penetrate the
skin and cause severe internal injuries.
If injuries from hydraulic oil occur, consult a doctor immediately.
Danger of infection!
• Because of the high risk of severe infection never use bare
hands to feel for leaks. When looking for leaks always use
applicable auxiliary products (cleaning spray, special leak
detection spray)!
