High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure and shut down tractor before connecting, dis-
connecting or checking hydraulic lines. Use a piece of paper
or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under pressure can
have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assis-
tance from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
