CONNECTING THE HYDRAULICS

DANGER:
CAUTION:
The machine is equipped with its own hydraulic system, which must be supplied with
oil from the tractor.
The system is used for pick-up lifting, drawbar, chute swivelling, deflector, folding
chute and reverse function. None of these functions uses very much oil and are
controlled in the best way when the oil flow is low. You should therefore set the oil
flow from the tractor to 15-20 l/min., or as low as possible.
Connect the hoses to a double-acting outlet on the tractor, or better still: connect the
pressure hose to the A-port on the hydraulic outlet and the return hose to a vacant
return-port leading directly to the tank or rear-axle assembly. This ensures that the
return pressure is suitably low. This is especially important if the oil flow from the
tractor cannot be adjusted to a sufficiently low level.
IMPORTANT: The hydraulic port for the selected A port must be locked in the
The machine will control the oil pressure and flow itself if it has been fitted with LS.

2. CONNECTING TO THE TRACTOR
The hydraulic components must not be exposed to a working
pressure in excess of 210 bar, as a higher working pressure
may gradually cause parts to be damaged. This poses a serious
risk of personal injury.
It is important that the quick-release couplings are always thoroughly
cleaned prior to fitting in order to prevent impurities from penetrating
the hydraulic system and damaging important valve functions. When
the hydraulic hoses are not connected to the tractor, these should be
positioned in the holder at the end of the drawbar.
pressure position to ensure a continuous oil flow to the machine's
hydraulic system.
