Safety rules concerning the hydraulic system
Any intervention or maintenance on the hydraulic system has to be carried out by
specifically instructed personnel.
WARNING
►
Replace any hydraulic hoses that are abraded, worn or cut and any metal pipes that are deformed.
►
Do not try to repair the hydraulic system, the connections or hoses using tape, clamps or anything else. The
hydraulic system operates under high-pressure. Makeshift repairs can be hazardous.
►
Before applying pressure to the system, make sure all components are tightened well and that all the hydraulic
lines, the hoses and couplings are not damaged.
►
Stop immediately in the case of oil leaks.
►
IMPORTANT: Never search for oil leaks with bare hands. Wear suitable working gloves.
►
Oil under high pressure may seep into the skin causing serious infections or toxic reaction. In this case contact
a doctor immediately.
►
Check the state of wear of the hydraulic pipes. If they are worn (or at least every 6 years) replace them.
►
Before working on the hydraulic system, lower the end tool, release all the pressure and turn off the tractor.
►
Dispose of used oil and greases in accordance with anti-pollution rules.
►
In tractors equipped with a hydraulic system, the pressure of the system must not exceed 190 bars.
►
When the machine is not coupled to the power unit, place the hydraulic pipes in the supports provided.
Make sure that the hydraulic pipes are fitted and mounted correctly. If they are inverted
this will cause movements opposite to those commanded.
Make sure that there is no pressure inside the hydraulic system before proceeding
with maintenance or repair operations. If there is pressure, use the hydraulic controls
repeatedly in order to release the pressure in the system.
