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.
— When reconnecting the battery, connect the battery 
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 
would induce vomiting.
