SAFETY
WARNING! - DO NOT operate with oil leaks.
-Inspect hoses regularly. Failure to inspect and replace
worn hoses may allow them to rupture suddenly and
violently, resulting in serious bodily injury or death from
scalding, fire burn injury, or oil penetration.
-Frayed, torn or crimped hoses may rupture and spray
hot oil on operator causing serious injury. Oil may spray
on hot tractor parts and catch fire resulting in severe
injury, burn or death.
-To check for hose leak, shut tractor off and remove
hydraulic pressure. Never use hands to check for leaks.
-Wear safety glasses, oil, impenetrable gloves, and use
cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you
suspect a leak, remove the hose and have it tested at a
dealer.
KEEP SHIELDS IN PLACE OVER HYDRAULIC
COMPONENTS. Do not operate equipment if shields are
missing or if oil leaks exist.
-Repair or replace hoses as needed to prevent
unexpected failure and possible serious injury to operator
or bystander. If oil penetrates skin, serious injury or
gangrene could occur. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must surgically remove the injected fluid
immediately.
