MAINTENANCE
FIG. 24: Escaping fluid under high pressure can be
almost invisible but penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
Consult a doctor immediately if you sustain an injury by
escaping fluids. Fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may
result.
FIG. 25: Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks, never use your hands.
Relieve pressure from the hydraulic and fuel injection
systems by lowering raised equipment, shutting off
accumulator valve and shutting off the engine before
loosening any part of the systems. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure.
FIG. 26: Be aware that the surfaces in and around the
engine compartment will be hot if the engine has been
running, even for a short time.
FIG. 27: Do not remove radiator cap if engine is hot.
Only remove cap when the cap is cool enough to touch
with bare hands. Loosen cap slowly to first notch to relieve
pressure, then remove cap.
