HYDRAULIC LIFT
AND 3-POINT HITCH
Escaping hydraulic oil
under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing
serious personal injury. Before applying pressure
to the system, be sure all connections are tight and
that lines, pipes and hoses are not damaged.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood,.
rather than hands, to search for suspected
leaks.
If injured
by
escaping fluid,
see
a doctor at once.
Serious infection or reaction can develop
if
proper
medical treatment
is
not administered immediate-
IY.
Horsepower of the tractor should be matched to
the size of certain implements. Excessive horse-
power
can
damage an implement, and too large
an implement can damage the tractor. Refer to
your implement operator's manual for minimum
and maximum horsepower requirements before
attaching
an
implement.
