HYDRAULIC SAFETY
WARNING
Hot hydraulic oil can cause severe burns. DO NOT work on
the hydraulic system if the oil temperature exceeds
120 degrees F. (49 degrees C).
Before ANYONE works on the hydraulic system:
1. Lower the boom to the horizontal position.
2. Support the boom to avoid unintentional lowering.
3. Shutdown the engine.
4. Remove the key from the ignition.
5. Clean the area around the oil reservoir cap (A).
FLUIDS UNDER PRESSURE
WARNING
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and can
cause serious personal injury.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.
DO NOT use hands. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be
sure to relieve all line pressure. Before applying pressure to the
system, be sure that all connections are tight. DO NOT apply
pressure to a damaged line, hose or fitting.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Proper
medical treatment must be administered immediately. A serious
infection or reaction can result without proper medical
treatment.
SERVICE TIRES SAFELY
An improperly mounted over-pressurized tire can result in tire
explosion causing possible personal injury. An inflation cage
or other safety device must be used during tire inflation.
DO NOT attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job. If you do not
have the proper qualifications to perform the job have your
dealer or qualified repair service perform the repair.
