Pressurized Oil
• Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines from tractor, loosening any hydraulic fi ttings
or servicing hydraulic system. See hydraulic power unit manual for procedure to relieve pressure.
• Use a piece of cardboard or wood to detect leaks of hydraulic fl uid under pressure. Correct hy-
draulic leaks immediately.
• High-pressure fl uids can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or death. Seek
medical treatment immediately if injured by high-pressure fl uids.
• Hydraulic system must be purged of air before operating to prevent serious injury or death.
• Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines. Do not install bent or damaged tubes or hoses.
• Repair all oil leaks. Leaks can cause fi res, personal injury, and environmental damage.
• Route hoses and lines carefully to prevent premature failure due to kinking and rubbing against
other parts. Make sure that all clamps, guards and shields are installed correctly.
• Check hydraulic hoses and tubes carefully. Replace components as necessary if any of the fol-
lowing conditions are found:
- End fittings damaged, displaced, or leaking.
- Outer covering chafed or cut and wire reinforcing exposed.
- Outer covering ballooning locally.
- Evidence of kinking or crushing of the flexible part of a hose.
