Connecting the h ydraulic hoses
Clean the h ydraulic hose couplings with a cloth before
connecting them.
Connect the hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic unit. Connect the
two couplings to the free ends of the hoses. The hoses are
now ready to be filled with oil from the oil container.
CA UTION! The hoses can be connected to the power unit
with either hose end.
All sets of hoses with couplings which are fitted as outlined in
this illustration always result in complete compatibility
between the power unit, hoses and tools.
If the hydraulic hoses (7.5 m/25 ft) are empty, a further 1.8
litres (2 quart) of oil or so must be added to the oil tank, after
the power unit has been operated for the first time. If an extra
30 metre (100 ft) long, 5/8 inch hose set is used, about 12
litres (3.2 gal) of oil must be added.
The oil level in the oil tank must be checked several times
when a new set of hoses are being filled.
Chec king the tyre pressure
Chec k the tyre pressure. The tyres are tubeless.
If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre will be completely
deflated. Adjust the pressure to 2 bar (30 psi).
