WARNING

Do NOT remove or disconnect any hydraulic tube, hose or fitting unless hydraulic system

pressure has been relieved. Hydraulic system pressure can be over 2500 psi (17,237 kPa), even

with engine and pump OFF. To relieve pressure, lower all hydraulic attachments to the

ground and shut down engine. Move control levers through all operating positions, then

SLOWLY loosen hydraulic tank filler cap. After replacement, tighten all connections before

applying pressure. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin, resulting in

injury or death to personnel.

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

any hydraulics. Failure to do so could result in injury to personnel.

Eye protection must be worn when replacing tubes, hoses and fittings. Failure to take precau-

tions could result in injury to personnel.

NOTE

This work package provides general instructions for replacement of hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings. The

examples provided are only typical. However, the replacement of a specific tube, hose or fitting should vary

only slightly.
