WARNING
STORED ENERGY DEVICE
Improper release of the deck lift assist spring can
result in serious personal injury. Spring should
be removed by an authorized dealer only.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure may
have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause
serious injury.
If foreign fluid is injected into the skin it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may
result.
Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles
that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use
paper or cardboard and not hands to search for leaks.
Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition
before applying pressure to the system.
If leaks occur, have the unit serviced immediately by
your authorized dealer.
