10 Hour
Check Hydraulic Hoses
Check all hydraulic hoses every 10 hours.
Check Coolant Level
With engine cool, check coolant level in auxiliary
tank sight glass (1) every 10 hours. Maintain level
so that coolant is visible in sight glass and no
higher than bottom of fill neck. If low, add
approved coolant at fill (2). Do not overfill.
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.
IMPORTANT: See page 107 for information on
approved coolants.
