Hoses and Cylinders
Read this before checking hydraulic system for
leaks:
WARNING
Oil under pressure.
Prevent possible serious personal injury, blind-
ness, or death caused by injection of hydraulic
fluid into your body. Fluid escaping under high
pressure may not be visible. Wear approved eye
protection. Wear approved skin protection, such
as heavy leather gloves. Use a piece of
cardboard or wood to find leaks.
If any fluid is injected into your body, it MUST b e
removed within a few hours by a surgeon familiar
with the procedure.
Inspect hoses and fittings periodically for wear and
leaks. Be sure hoses have sufficient clearance and
do not rub against frame. Replace hoses if damaged
and keep all fittings tight.
Cylinders are double-acting. For efficient operation,
they must be kept in good repair at all times. Leaks,
internal or external, affect operation and can be
hazardous.
This loader requires a high pressure hydraulic
system. Use only approved replacement parts.
