clean, unpainted metal part of the dead
vehicle but not near the battery.

vehicle.
Hydraulic Safety
Hydraulic systems used on the Crop Cruiser
include hydraulic cylinders, motors, pumps,
manifolds, accumulators and oil coolers.
Various hydraulic hoses, fittings and couplings
used are all specific for purpose and rated to
take the pressures used in the system.
Hydraulic system components are sometimes
operated at very high pressures and
temperatures.
For these reasons it's very important that the
operator be familiar with the functions and
limitations of the system.
GA8701177 REV 2 APRIL 2022
Read and understand the operator's manual
carefully before operating any of the sprayer's
hydraulic systems.
Connecting Hoses
Hydraulic systems are colour coded to aid in
correct identification of hydraulic hoses.
Always double check hose connections, after
maintenance work, especially the return line.
Failure to properly connect the return line will
result in "dead heading" the system and can
lead to a pressure failure.
Refer to the sprayer operator manuals for full
details.
Safety – Essential Risk Management
Engines
Be aware of warning labels on your engine
which highlight operating risks.
Risks include:
• Burns from hot engines and exhausts
• Fire while filling an engine with fuel or
flammable material contacting a hot
exhaust
• Entanglement in belt-drive components
and moving parts.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning from
operating an engine in an enclosed
space
To minimise risk:
• Do not touch hot exhaust and engine
components.
• Do not refuel engines near naked
flames or ignition sources. Be
especially vigilant when refuelling the
engine.
• Always clear away flammable materials
(such as dry grass) that might come
into contact with the engines exhaust.
• Do not wear loose clothing when
operating equipment.
• Keep hands well away from moving
parts.
• Do not operate the engine in an
enclosed area.
Be aware of the risk of fire due when
flammable materials are present.
Keep firefighting equipment nearby if
necessary.
Always follow the engine manufacturer's
instructions.
Hydraulic functions
Hydraulically controlled moving parts should
never be touched whilst in operation.
Hydraulically controlled components should
be isolated and released of any hydraulic
pressure before they are worked on or
serviced.
This applies to all hydraulic cylinders.
