Notes

Check hydraulic hoses and fittings (with hydraulic swing)

Check condition of backfill blade

Fluid or air pressure could pierce skin and cause injury or

NOTICE: 

Escaping pressurized fluid can cause injury or pierce skin and poison.

Before disconnecting a hydraulic line, turn engine off and operate all controls to relieve pressure.

loosen connector nut slightly to relieve residual pressure. Catch all fluid in a container.

Before using system, check that all connections are tight and all lines are undamaged.

Fluid leaks can be hard to detect. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to search 
for leaks.

If you are injured, seek immediate medical attention from a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
