GENERAL SAFETY CAUTION The following are general farm safety precautions that should be part of your operating procedure for all types of machinery: Protect yourself. When assembling, operating and servicing machinery, wear all the protective clothing and personal safety devices that COULD be necessary for the job at hand. Don't take chances. You may need: o o o o o o Provide a first-aid kit for use in case of emergencies. Keep a fire extinguisher on the machine.
Stop engine, and remove key from ignition before leaving Operator's seat for any reason. A child (or even a pet) could engage an idling machine. Keep the area used for servicing machinery clean and dry. Wet or oily floors are slippery. Wet spots can be dangerous when working with electrical equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded. Use adequate light for the job at hand. Keep machinery clean.
RECOMMENDED TORQUES C. METRIC BOLTS A. GENERAL STD COARSE BOLT TORQUE* BOLT DIA. "A" The tables shown below give correct torque values for various bolts and cap screws. Tighten all bolts to the torques specified in chart, unless otherwise noted throughout this manual. Check tightness of bolts periodically, using bolt torque chart as a guide. Replace hardware with the same strength bolt. Torque figures are valid for non-greased or non-oiled threads and heads unless otherwise specified.
D. FLARE TYPE HYDRAULIC FITTINGS E. O-RING BOSS (ORB) HYDRAULIC FITTINGS LOCKNUT FITTING NUT FLARE WASHER O-RING GROOVE SEAT BODY FLARESEAT a. Check flare and flare seat for defects that might cause leakage. b. Align tube with fitting before tightening. c. Lubricate connection, and hand-tighten swivel nut until snug. d. To prevent twisting the tube(s), use two wrenches. Place one wrench on the connector body, and with the second, tighten the swivel nut to the torque shown below. SAE NO.
a. Check components to ensure that the sealing surfaces and fitting threads are free of burrs, nicks, and scratches, or any foreign material. b. Apply lubricant (typically Petroleum Jelly) to O-ring and threads. If O-ring is not already installed, install O-ring. c. Align the tube or hose assembly. Ensure that flat face of the mating flange comes in full contact with O-ring. d. Thread tube or hose nut until hand-tight. The nut should turn freely until it is bottomed out.
