Maintenance of the
hydraulic system
WARNING
Danger of infection caused by high pressure
hydraulic oil from the hydraulic system pen-
etrating into the body!
Danger of severe injuries!
If injured by hydraulic oil, consult a doctor
immediately!
Work on the hydraulic system must only be
¾
performed by specialist workshops!
Always depressurize the hydraulic system
¾
before starting work in the hydraulic system!
Use appropriate aids when checking for leaks!
¾
Never try to seal off leaking hydraulic hoses
¾
with your hands or fingers!
Ensure correct connection of the hydraulic
¾
hoses.
Check all hydraulic hoses and couplings regu-
¾
larly for damage and contamination.
Have the hydraulic hoses inspected by an
¾
expert under safety related aspects at least
once every year!
Replace hydraulic hoses if damaged or exces-
¾
sively aged! Use only original hydraulic hoses
from HORSCH!
Make sure the hydraulics is depressurised when
connecting the hydraulic hoses!
Even if properly stored and under permissible
stress, hoses and hose connections are subject
to natural ageing. This limits their shelf life and
their utilization period.

NOTE
Deviating from this, the utilization period can
also be determined on the basis of empirical
values, particularly under due consideration of
the endangering potential. For hoses and hose
lines made of thermoplastics other guide values
may be decisive.
The utilization period of hydraulic hoses
should not exceed six years, including a
possible storage time of maximum two years.
Depending on the conditions of use (e.g. weath-
er influences) or in case of higher strains on the
machine the hoses may need to be replaced
earlier.
Dispose of old oil environmentally. Strictly
¾
adhere to the corresponding country-specific
regulations.
Keep hydraulic oil out of the reach of children!
¾
Make sure that no hydraulic oil enters into the
¾
ground or into water!
In addition, follow the country specific regula-
¾
tions and directives.
Additional specifications of the hydraulic system
(circuit diagrams, etc.) can be obtained from the
HORSCH service department.
