Hydraulic System Hazards

The hydraulic system is under pressure whenever the
engine is operating and may hold pressure even after the
engine is shut off. Cycle all hydraulic controls including
the auxiliary hydraulic control after the engine is shut
down. Relieve trapped pressure in the lines after the
attachments are shut down and resting on the ground.

During inspection of the hydraulic system:
— Wait for fl uid to cool before disconnecting the lines.

Hot hydraulic fl uid can cause SEVERE BURNS.

Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Instead,

use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.

— Wear appropriate eye protection. Hydraulic fl uid can

cause permanent eye injury.

WARNING! Hydraulic fl uid under pressure can penetrate
the skin or eyes and cause serious injury, blindness or
death. Fluid leaks under pressure may not be visible.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to fi nd leaks, not
your hand. Wear a face shield or safety goggles for
eye protection.
If fl uid is injected into the skin, it must
be removed within a few hours by medical personnel
familiar with this type of injury.

When venting or fi lling the hydraulic system, loosen the
fi ller cap slowly and remove it gradually.

Never reset any relief valve in the hydraulic system to a
pressure higher than recommended by the manufacturer.

Electrical System Hazards

Before working on the electrical system, disconnect the
battery cable(s).
— Remove the battery negative (-) cable(s) fi rst.

negative (-) cable(s) last.

The liquid in batteries contains acid, which is a POISON
and can cause SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS.

Avoid Injury

— Wear a face shield to prevent contact with your eyes.
— Wear chemical-resistant gloves and clothing to keep

electrolyte off your skin and regular clothing.

WARNING! Electrolyte will damage eyes or skin
on contact. Always wear a face shield to avoid
electrolyte in eyes.
If electrolyte contacts eyes, fl ush
immediately with clean water and get medical attention.
Wear chemical-resistant gloves and protective
clothing to keep electrolyte off skin.
If electrolyte
contacts exposed skin or clothing, wash off immediately

with clean water. If electrolyte is ingested, seek
medical attention immediately. NEVER give fl uids that
