Hydr auli c connection at zero pressure only
Only connect hydraulic tubes to the tractor hydraulic system if the trac-
tor and implement hydraulic system is at zero pressure. A pressurised
hydraulic system can trigger unforeseen movements on the imple-
ment and can cause serious damage and injuries. There is otherwise
the ri sk of serious or fatal i njury.
High pressure in the hydraulic system
The hydraul ic sy stem is often overpressuri sed. All pipes, tubes, cou-
plings and connecting passageways must be checked for leaks and
other damage on a regular basis. Only use suitable tools when
checking for leaks. Repair any damage immediately. Escaping oil can
cause injuri es and burns. Seek medical at tention i mmediately if inju-
ries occur.
