it slowly to allow pressure to escape before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Engine, transmission, exhaust components, and
•
hydraulic lines may become hot during operation.
Take care when servicing such components. Allow
surfaces to cool before handling or disconnecting
hot components. Wear protective equipment where
appropriate.

wash the skin promptly with soap and water.
When replacing hardened pins, use a brass drift or
•
other suitable material between the hammer and
pin.

•
ual. Always disconnect battery before welding on
