Replacing the hydraulic hoses
Replace the hydraulic hoses at least once every 6 years. Hydraulic
hoses also wear without any visible damage. Only use hydraulic
hoses with identical technical specifications. The necessary data is
printed on the hydraulic hose. Defective hydraulic hoses may cause
serious or fatal injury.
Avoid physical contact with hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oil contains additives that under certain circumstances can
have serious consequences for your health. Therefore, when handling
hydraulic oil be aware of the following:
• Avoid direct contact with hydraulic oil. They can damage the skin.
• Protect your skin with barrier cream or protective gloves.
• Never use oil or lubricants to clean your hands.
• Clothes contaminated with oil should be changed immediately.
• Oily cloths should not be kept in your pockets.
• Seek medical attention for skin injuries after contact with
pressurised hydraulic oil, as this can cause cold burns.
Colour marking of hydraulic connections
The hydraulic connections between the tractor and the machine must
be marked in different colours. By marking the hydraulic connections
you prevent the machine from being incorrectly operated. Incorrect
operation or unintentional movement of the machine may result in
serious injuries.
