Hydraulic Repair Safety
This machine uses a high-pressure hydraulic system.
Possible hazards include:
•
Residual pressure could cause sudden movement of
the head, which could result in injuries.
•
Working in the "pinch" or "saw" area of the harvester
head while the hydraulic system is active could result in
injury or death.
•
Escaping oil under pressure can easily penetrate the
skin, resulting in serious injury.
•
Hydraulic oil becomes hot during operation, and if it
comes into contact with the skin, may cause severe
burns.
Avoid the hazards by turning off hydraulic systems before
maintenance or service work is performed. Always reduce
the hydraulic system pressure to zero, relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic lines or starting to work on
any hydraulic component.
Under Pressure
If it is necessary to work on the hydraulic system while it is
under pressure (for example, searching for leaks), always
wear gloves, approved eye protection, and full protective
clothing.
Never search for leaks with your hands: Use a piece of
cardboard to find the location of escaping oil by holding
it over the suspected leak.
Warning: If hydraulic oil penetrates your skin, see
a doctor immediately. Injected oil must be removed
surgically within hours or gangrene may result
Welding Repairs Safety
IMPORTANT: Disable carrier and harvester head
electrical power before welding. Separate
harness connectors from the engine and
vehicle microprocessors.
Avoid welding or heating near pressurised fluid lines.
Flammable spray may eject and cause severe burns if
pressurised lines fail as a result of heating. Do not let heat
extend beyond the work area.
Safety: Maintenance Precautions
Remember to re-tighten all connections before re-applying
pressure.
