OWNER SERVICE
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Before working underneath, read manual
instructions, securely block up, and check stability.
Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop-
ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failure, or mechanical component failure.
Never perform service or maintenance with
engine running.
Before dismounting power unit or performing
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head.
