SAFETY
Always place all combine hydraulic controls in neutral
before disconnecting from combine or working on
hydraulic system.
Makesure that all componentsin the hydraulicsystem
are kept in good condition and are clean.
Relieve pressure before working on the hydraulic
system.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or crimped
hoses.
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic
fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps or cements.
The hydraulic system operates under extremely high-
pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly and create a
hazardous and unsafe condition.
Wear proper hand and eye pro-
tection when searching for a
high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use
a piece of wood or cardboard as
a backstop instead of hands to
isolate and identify a leak.
If injured by a concentrated high-
pressurestream of hydraulic fluid,
seek medical attention immedi-
ately. Serious infection or toxic re-
action can develop from hydraulic
fluid piercing the skin surface.
Before applying pressure to the system, make sure
all components are tight and that lines, hoses, and
couplings are not damaged.
