Release the hydraulic pressure in the system
before removing or connecting hydraulic hoses for
hydraulically controlled attachments. See page
for the procedure to release the hydraulic system
pressure.
WARNING
Risk of high pressure injection.
Residual pressure in the hydraulic system could
lead to oil under high pressure jetting out and cause
serious injury, even if the engine has not been
running for some time.
Always release the pressure before any kind of
service of the hydraulic system is carried out.
NOTE!
Any persons involved in the process of changing
attachments must be familiar with the operation of
the machine and should know the signalling pattern.
Volvo supplies a wide range of hydraulic tools. All
tools and optional equipment are described in the
Attachment Catalogue. Contact a Volvo dealer for
further advice.
