MAINTENANCE
1. Never work on equipment while it is running. Block up equipment,
set hand brake, lower bucket and stabilizers, turn off the tractor and
remove the key before performing repairs.
2. Never make hydraulic repairs while the system is under pressure, or
the cylinders are under load. Serious personal injury or death could
result.
3. Observe proper maintenance schedules and repairs to keep unit in
safe working order.
4. Always wear safety goggles or glasses when working on equipment.
5. Use a brass drift and hammer when pressing out pins to prevent the
pin from shattering.
WARNING! Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force
to penetrate the skin causing serious personal injury.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost
invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than
hands to search for suspected leaks.
Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and
arms as far away as possible from a suspected leak.
Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may develop gangrene
or other permanent disabilities.
If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your
doctor is not familiar with this type of injury, ask him to
research immediately to determine proper treatment.
