SAFETY
Maintenance Precautions
Be careful with hot cooling
systems
Do not remove the radiator cap or drain plugs
when the coolant is hot. Stop the engine, let
the engine and radiator cool and loosen the
radiator cap or drain plugs slowly.
Be careful with fluids under
pressure
Pressure can be maintained in the hydraulic
circuit long after the engine has been shut
down.
¡Release all pressure before working on
the hydraulic system.
¡Hydraulic fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin or eyes and cause
injury, blindness or death. Fluid escaping
from a small hole can be almost invisible.
Wear a safety goggles and heavy gloves
and use a piece of cardboard or wood to
search for suspected leaks.
If fluid is injected into the skin, it must be
removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury.
Release all pressure before
working on the hydraulic system
Oil may spurt out if caps or filters are removed
or pipes disconnected before releasing the
pressure in the hydraulic system.
¡Gradually loosen the vent plug to relieve
tank pressure.
¡Move all the control levers and pedals
several times in all directions to release
the pressure from the working equipment
circuitry.
(For TB125/TB135: When equipped with
accumulator)
¡When removing plugs or screws or
disconnecting hoses, stand to the side and
loosen slowly to gradually release the
internal pressure before removing.
Be careful with grease under
pressure
The track adjuster contains highly
pressurized grease. If the tension is adjusted
without following the prescribed procedure,
the grease discharge valve may fly off,
resulting in injury.
¡Do not loosen the grease nipple.
¡Loosen the grease discharge valve slowly.
¡Do not put your face, arms, legs or body
in front of the grease discharge valve.
¡If no grease is expelled when grease
discharge valve is loosened, there is a
problem. Contact your nearest service
outlet for repairs. DO NOT disassemble,
as this is very dangerous.
