Hydraulics
Danger!
Hydraulic Hazards: Be aware of the hazards of pressurized hydraulic:
1.
Wear personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, whenever servicing or checking a hydraulic
system.
2.
Assume that all hydraulic hoses and components are pressurized. Relieve all hydraulic pressure before disconnecting
any hydraulic line.
3.
Never try to stop or check for a hydraulic leak with any part of your body; use a piece of cardboard to check for
hydraulic leaks.
4.
Small hydraulic hose leaks are extremely dangerous and can inject hydraulic oil under the skin, even through gloves.
5.
Infection and gangrene are possible when hydraulic oil penetrates the skin. See a doctor immediately to prevent loss
of limb or death.
Danger!
Rotating Parts
The Snout Cones will rotate when in operation
1.
Establish a safe work zone when operating the Snout Cones. The safe work zone should be large enough to keep all
persons at least 10 feet away from the Snout Cones when operating
2.
Never allow riders on the Snout Cones
3.
Never operate the snout cones without all safety shields in place.
4.
Shut off the combine engine and relieve hydraulic pressure if the Snout Cones need servicing or maintenance.
5.
Avoid wearing loose clothing which can easily be caught in moving parts.
6.
Stop the Snout Cones immediately if any problems arise.
7.
Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing away from moving parts.
8.
Always perform maintenance/servicing of the Snout Cones on a level surface with the combine engine off and the
header on the ground.
The hydraulic hoses come in a kit depending upon the size of the implement. If the implement is larger than the appropriate
kit, a hydraulic hose extension kit is used to meet the required width. The hydraulic hose extension kit will attach to the
current hydraulic hose and just makes the hose longer to meet the additional length requirement. See table.
