MAINTENANCE OF THE LOADER
• Escaping the hydraulic fluid under pressure
can obtain sufficient force to penetrate skin,
causing serious personal injury.
Before disconnecting lines, be sure to
relieve all pressure.
• Before applying pressure to the loader
system, be sure that all connections are
tight and that lines, tubes, and hoses are not
damaged.
• Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood, rather than your hands, to search for
suspected leaks.
• If you are injured by escaping fluid, see a
doctor at once. Serious infection or allergic
reaction will develop if proper medical
treatment is not administered immediately.
