system, lay the head on the floor (or any other mounted equipment) and turn off the engine.
• Oils and greases must be disposed of according to anti-pollution standards.
• Never search for oil leaks with bare hands or other body parts; use paper or
cloths to locate the leak.
• Always wear waterproof gloves and eye protection.
• Wait until the oil has cooled before intervening.
• Discharge the oil pressure before disconnecting the hoses or when performing
maintenance on the system.
• High pressure oil may penetrate the skin and cause serious infections; in such
case seek medical attention immediately.
