Important information on the hydraulic system
Burn hazard due to hot hydraulic oil!
Hot hydraulic oil can cause burning to the skin, serious injury or death.
► Release the pressure in the hydraulic system.
► Let the engine cool down.
► Wear protective equipment.
Injury hazard due to fluid escaping under pressure!
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury or death.
► Do not operate the vehicle with leaking or damaged hydraulic system
components.
► Open the breather filter carefully to slowly release the pressure inside
the reservoir.
► Wear protective equipment. If hydraulic oil contacts the eye flush
immediately with clean water and seek medical treatment.
► Malfunctioning or leaking screw connections, hose connections and
pressure lines must be immediately repaired by a Wacker Neuson
service center. Search for hydraulic leaks with a piece of cardboard.
► Always consult a doctor immediately, even if the wound seems
insignificant. Hydraulic oil causes blood poisoning.
