tighten or repair as necessary.
WARNING:
Avoid prolonged engine
operation in closed areas without adequate
ventilation. Failure to properly ventilate
exhaust fumes can result in death or severe
personal injury.
WARNING:
Escaping hydraulic fluid
under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing
death or serious injury. Before starting the
engine, tighten all hydraulic connections and
remove all tools from the vehicle. NEVER
check for leaks using any part of the human
body; use a piece of cardboard or wood
instead. Wear heavy, protective gloves and
eye protection.
