WARNING
Hydraulic Pressure
Hydraulic fluid at system pressure can injure you.
Before connecting or removing any hydraulic hose,
residual hydraulic pressure trapped in the service
hose line must be vented. Make sure the hose service
line has been vented before connecting or removing
hoses. Make sure the engine cannot be started while
the hoses are open.

Some attachments are hydraulically powered. The
following procedures show how to connect and disconnect
the hydraulic hoses safely.
Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses

Make the machine safe. Refer to
Routine
Maintenance, Prepare the Machine for
Maintenance
.
2
Vent the hydraulic system. Refer to
Routine
Maintenance, Releasing the Hydraulic Pressure
.
3
If necessary, remove the blanking caps.
4
Check the hoses and adaptors for damage. Refer to
Routine Maintenance, Checking for Damage
.
5
Connect the hoses.
If the hoses have quick releases couplings, refer to
