may cause blood poisoning. It is imperative
that the connections are tight and that all lines
and pipes are in good condition. If the escap-
ing hydraulic fluid causes an injury, see a doc-
tor at once! Use a piece of cardboard or wood
to detect leaks of hydraulic oil under pressure.
Be sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting any lines or pipes between the
implement and the tractor hydraulic system.
Keep all guards and shields in place.
11. Do not turn tractor in too tight; implement may
ride up on wheels causing machine and bodily
damage.
