To properly install the system, begin by securing the hydraulic pump to the trailer's frame. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the appropriate ports, ensuring they're tightly fastened. Attach the collection bin securely and test the system for any leaks before full operation.
Check the hydraulic fluid level first; low fluid can cause lifting issues. Inspect hoses and connections for leaks or blockages. Lastly, ensure that the hydraulic pump is functioning and that the power supply is intact.
Perform routine maintenance every 50 hours of operation, including checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting hoses for wear, and ensuring all connections are secure. A comprehensive inspection should be done annually.
John Deere recommends using their branded hydraulic oil or any high-quality, equivalent fluid that meets the ISO 46 specifications for optimal performance.
Yes, but it’s essential to use a cold weather hydraulic fluid that remains fluid at low temperatures. Allow the system to warm up before operating to prevent damage.
Immediately stop using the system. Identify the source of the leak, whether it's a hose, connection, or valve. Replace any damaged components and refill the hydraulic fluid to the appropriate level before resuming use.
To bleed air from the system, operate the hydraulic controls to their full extent several times. This will help push any trapped air out of the system, ensuring smooth operation.
Unusual noises can be caused by air in the system, low hydraulic fluid levels, or worn components. Check fluid levels and bleed the system if necessary. If the issue persists, inspect for wear and replace any damaged parts.
Regular maintenance, using the correct hydraulic fluid, avoiding overloading the system, and ensuring that all components are clean and free of debris will help extend the lifespan of the hydraulic system.
Store the system in a clean, dry place. Disconnect and clean any attachments. Ensure all fluid levels are topped up and that the system is free of leaks. Protect it with a cover to prevent dust accumulation.
