Check Oil Cooler/Radiator
Check oil cooler/radiator for dirt and debris. Clean
with compressed air or spray wash as needed.
See “Clean Oil Cooler/Radiator” on page 157.
Check Hydraulic Hoses
Check all hydraulic hoses every 10 hours.
Fluid or air pressure could pierce skin and cause injury or
death. Stay away.
To help avoid injury:
• Before disconnecting a hydraulic line, turn engine off and operate all controls to relieve pressure.
Lower, block, or support any raised component with a hoist. Cover connection with heavy cloth and
loosen connector nut slightly to relieve residual pressure. Catch all fluid in a container.
• Before using system, check that all connections are tight and all lines are undamaged.
• Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to search for leaks.
• Wear protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection.
If you are injured, seek immediate medical attention from a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
