•
Stop
the engine and
allow
the
machine
to
cool before performing
maintenance.
• The engine, hydraulic lines and
many
other parts
of
the
machine are
hot
directly after
the
engine is stopped.
Touching these parts will cause
burns.
• The hydraulic fluid is also
hot
and
under high pressure.
Be careful when loosening caps and
plugs. Working on
the
machine under
these conditions could result in burns
or
injuries due
to
hot
oil spraying
out.
• Oil
may
spray
out
if
caps
or
filters are
removed
or
pipes disconnected before
releasing
the
pressure in
the
hydraulic
system.
• When removing plugs
or
screws
or
disconnecting hoses, stand
to
the
side and loosen slowly,
to
gradually
release
the
