Work on the machine's hydraulic circuit may be carried out only by
persons with special knowledge and experience of hydraulic systems,
who can produce appropriate certifi cation of competence (certifi cates of
training).
Couplings should be fi tted only by persons with the relevant experience
and tools required for this task.
Always wear protective gloves in addition to eye and face protection
when working on the hydraulic system. Escaping fl uid is toxic and can
penetrate the skin. Hot hydraulic fl uid poses a risk of scalding.

and damage. Seal up any leaks and repair any damage immediately.
Splashed fl uid may cause injury and pose a fi re hazard.
The hydraulic system must be inspected regularly, as specifi ed in safetyrelated

resulting from the use of worn or faulty components.
Replace faulty hydraulic lines, do not repair them.
Hydraulic hoses and lines should be replaced every 6 years (including a
maximum storage time of 2 years), even if there are no signs of external
damage. See the manufacturing date printed on the hoses.
