Section 1 - General Safety Practices

Hydraulic Fluid
• DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks . Use a piece of cardboard or paper
to search for leaks. Wear appropriate equipment to protect yourself from spraying
fluid. If fluid is injected into the skin seek medical attention immediately.
• Stop engine and relieve trapped pressure before loosening any hydraulic fitting.
Hydraulic oil is under enough pressure that it can penetrate the skin.
• DO NOT attempt to repair or tighten any hydraulic hoses or fittings while the
engine is running or when the hydraulic system is pressurized.
• Relieve pressure from the hydraulic reservoir using the vent valve near the
reservoir breather before loosening the filter lid or cover.
