HYDRAULICS
With the power unit shut down and secured in position, relieve hydraulic pressure from the power unit by
moving the control levers back and forth several times or placing the levers in the float position. Keep unit
hydraulic lines, hoses, quick couplers, and swivels free of contamination. Never leave a disconnected hose
end open and cap the power unit hydraulic outlet ports when not in use. If the power unit ports or windrower
hydraulic hose ends become contaminated, wipe clean with a rag before connecting.
Inspect hydraulic hoses, fittings and cylinders for
wear or leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands to search for suspected leaks.
Replace if necessary.
Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system,
be sure all connections are tight and that the hoses
are not damaged.
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.
