Hydraulic Component Safety
WARNING
Trapped Air Hazard
When installing, replacing, or repairing
hydraulic system cylinders or parts, make
sure that the entire system is charged and free of air
before resuming operations. Failure to bleed the
system of all air can result in improper machine
operation, causing severe injury.
0
Zero Pressure
Relieve pressure from the hydraulic system
before servicing or disconnecting from the
tractor.
High-Pressure Fluid Hazard
Keep all hydraulic lines, ttings, and couplers
tightly secured and free of leaks.
Explosive Separation Hazard
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, attened, or
crimped hoses.
High-Pressure Hazard
Do not make any temporary repairs to the
hydraulic lines, ttings, or hoses using tape,
clamps, or cement. The hydraulic system operates
under extremely high pressure and temporary repairs
may fail suddenly and create a hazardous/dangerous
situation.
Personal Protection
Equipment
Wear proper hand and eye
protection when searching for a high-pressure
hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a
backstop instead of hands to identify and isolate a
leak. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure
stream of hydraulic uid, seek medical attention
immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction can
develop if hydraulic uid penetrates the surface of
the skin.
High-Pressure Fluid Hazard
Before applying pressure to the system, make
sure all components are tight and that the
hydraulic lines, hoses, and couplings are not
damaged.
NOTICE
Make sure components in the hydraulic system are
kept clean and in good working condition.
Tire Safety
WARNING
Explosive Separation Hazard
Do not attempt to mount tires unless you have
the proper equipment and experience to do the
job. Failure to follow proper procedures when
mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce
an explosive separation, which may result in
serious injury or death.
Explosive Hazard
Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly.
The heat can cause an increase in air
pressure, resulting in a tire explosion. Welding
can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
Flying Objects Hazard
In ating or servicing tires can be dangerous.
Whenever possible, trained personnel should
be called to service and/or mount tires.
When in ating tires, use a clip-on chuck and
extension hose. Always stand to the side of
the tire when in ating, and NOT in front of or
over the tire assembly.
Make sure the tires are in ated evenly.
Crush Hazard
Make sure the unit is completely
supported with suitable stands before
removing a wheel assembly.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do
not in ate the tires above the recommended
pressure.
0
Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles,
damaged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.
OEM
OEM
Always install tires and wheels with
appropriate capacity to meet or exceed the
weight of the unit.
Do not exceed 20 mph or tire failure will occur.
Keep wheel lug nuts or bolts tightened.
