Hydraulic
Only connect hydraulics when the system is depressurised
You should only connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor's hydraulics
when the hydraulic system on both the tractor and the machine is
depressurised. There is a risk that the machine will move accidentally.
Unintentional movement of the machine may result in serious injuries.
Pressurised hydraulic oil can cause serious injuries
Before connecting hydraulic connections, any excess pressure must
be released. Pressurised hydraulic oil can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injuries. Before connecting the hydraulic system,
ensure all connections are tightened securely, and none of the tubes
or hoses are damaged.
High pressure in the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Check all joints, hoses,
and fittings regularly for visible damage. Only use suitable aids to help
locate leaks. Repair any damage immediately. Escaping oil can lead
to injuries or cause a fire. In the event of an accident, seek medical
attention immediately.
Never use fingers or hands to check for leaks
Never use fingers or hands to check the hydraulic system for leaks
and loose connections. Use a piece of paper or card to check the
hydraulic system for leaks and loose connections. Escaping
pressurised oil can cause serious injuries to the skin or cold burns.
