SHUT the tractor ENGINE OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable
gloves, safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you suspect
a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer. If oil does penetrate the skin,
have the injury treated immediately by a physician knowledgeable and skilled in this
procedure.
