Servicing the hydraulic system10.7.6
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
service 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 134 »Relieving
residual pressure in the hydraulic system«.
