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 work tools have been lowered to the ground, and the 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. |

If the machine moved while testing the parking brake, inspect the parking brake components for wear or damage. Repair or replace the worn or damaged parking brake components as required before returning the machine to service. |
The purpose of the Service Test is to provide the operator a way to test the Parking Brake. The middle light position is for the Parking Brake.
Test the brakes on a dry, level surface. Make sure that the area around the machine is clear. Move the machine away from other operating machines and away from personnel.
Make sure that the steering frame lock link is in the stored position.
Fasten the seat belt before you test the brakes.
Before performing this test, the following criteria must be met:
- The light for the Parking Brake Test must be on
- The machine must not be moving
- The service brake depressed less than 10 percent
- The parking brake must be enabled
- Engine speed must be greater than 1700 rpm
