Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil. Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system. Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered, oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. |
Sudden movement of the machine or release of oil under pressure can cause injury to persons on or near the machine. To prevent possible injury, perform the procedure that follows before testing and adjusting the power train. |
Note: Permit only one operator on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the machine or in the operator's sight.
- Move the machine to a smooth, horizontal location that is away from operating machines and away from personnel.
- Place the direction control in the NEUTRAL position.
- Engage the parking brake. Place wheel blocks in front of the wheels and behind the wheels.
- Lower the work tool to the ground.
- Stop the engine.
- Install the steering frame lock.
- Make sure that all hydraulic oil pressure is released before you make any adjustments to the machine.
For all tests, the hydraulic oil must be at normal operating temperature.
