HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PRESSURE

Do NOT remove hydraulic tank filler cap or disconnect or remove any hydraulic system line or fitting

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury or death.

At operating temperature hydraulic oil is hot. Allow hydraulic oil to cool before disconnecting any

hydraulics. Failure to do so could result in injury.
