10.7.6 Servicing the hydraulic system
WARNING
Crushing/shearing hazard.
Moving engine parts can crush and cut.
►
Do not open the engine enclosure unless the
engine is stopped to avoid hazards from moving
objects (cooling fan and drive belts for the fan
and alternator).
Burn hazard.
The operating temperature of the hydraulic sys-
tem is 93°C (200°F). Contact with skin will cause
severe burns.
►
Rinse with water immediately and seek medical
treatment.
Injury hazard.
High pressure hydraulic streams can penetrate
skin, resulting in infections.
►
If oil penetrates the skin, seek medical treatment
immediately.
►
If hydraulic uid enters an eye, seek medical
attention immediately.
►
Use a piece of cardboard or heavy paper to
search for hydraulic system leaks
Service the hydraulic system according to the
inspection intervals specied in this Operator’s
Manual.
Exercise extreme cleanliness when performing ser-
vice work on the hydraulic system. Impurities in the
hydraulic uid in the form of dirt or water can result
in premature wear or failure of the entire system.
Open hydraulic systems only if they have been relieved of
pressure. Even if a loader is parked on a horizontal sur-
face with its loader lift arms completely lowered and engine
turned off, there can still be considerable residual pressure
in parts of the hydraulic system. Residual pressure reduces
gradually at rst. Should a hydraulic system be opened
immediately after shutting down, the system has to be de-
pressurized as described in Section 8, page 126 »Relieving
residual pressure in the hydraulic system«.
