Residual pressure in the hydraulic system
Personal injury hazard.
• Pressurized jets of fluid can penetrate human skin.
• In the event that oil penetrates the skin, seek immediate medical attention to reduce the risk of infection and
complications from infection.
• Confirm that the hydraulic system pressure has been relieved before attempting to repair the system or
component.
• Even for a loader parked on a horizontal surface with its loader lift arms completely lowered and engine turned
off, there can still be considerable residual pressure in parts of the hydraulic system.
• Residual pressure reduces gradually at first. If a hydraulic system is to be opened immediately after being
shut down, the system shall be relieved before repairs are attempted. Do not attempt to work on the system
if the components are not comfortable to touch. Hot surfaces and liquids can cause severe burns.
• For loaders with load holding control devices on the lifting and/or tipping cylinder, you must open the valves
as described in Section 8, page 126 »Relieving residual pressure in the hydraulic system« in order to lower
the loader lift arms.
