HYDRAULICS

Inspect hydraulic hoses, fittings and cylinders for wear or leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than
hands to search for suspected leaks. Replace if necessary
Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, be sure all connections are tight and that the hoses are not
damage.
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil and
fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do not
check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from breaks in
the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including
gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE OFF and
remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves, safety
glasses and use cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you
suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer. If oil
does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.
Periodically clean hydraulic cooler of accumulated dust and debris. If the cooler becomes obstructed,
overheating could occur.
To avoid Equipment and Grass Fires clean Hydraulic Cooler of dust and
debris. Overheating can occur and cause equipment breakdown or fire.
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and hose
connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs. Use
gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface or fluid
can cause serious injury from burns or scalding.
