Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to
long implement life. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance,
downtime and repair.

making any adjustments or performing any
maintenance.

under the falling implement. Always have transport
locks in place and frame sufficiently blocked up when

WARNING
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pres-
sure to penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines
and fittings before applying pressure. Fluid escaping
from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use pa-
per or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavy
gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek
medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with
this type of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene
will result.
