SAFETY
If any flame cutting, welding, or arc welding is to be done
on the machine or attachments, make sure to clear any
crop material or debris from around the area. Make sure
the area below the work area is clear of any flammable
material as falling molten metal or sparks can ignite the
material.
FIG. 18: If fire occurs stand upwind and away from
smoke from the fire.

Checking for High Pressure Leaks

FIG. 19: Fluid leaking from the hydraulic system or the
fuel injection system under high pressure can be very
hard to see. The fluid can go into the skin causing serious
injury.
Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours. If not removed immediately, serious
infection or reaction can develop. Go immediately to a
doctor who knows about this type of injury.
FIG. 20: Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks. Do not use your bare hand. Wear leather
gloves for hand protection and safety goggles for eye
protection.
Relieve all pressure before loosening any hydraulic lines.
Relieve the pressure by lowering raised equipment,
shutting off accumulator valve, if equipped, and shutting
off the engine. Tighten all connections securely before
applying pressure.
