WARNING

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

or fitting unless hydraulic system pressure has been relieved. Hydraulic system pressure can

be over 2500 psi (17,238 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 maintenance,

tighten all connections before applying pressure. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can

penetrate the skin, causing serious injury or death.

Use extreme caution when handling heavy parts. Provide adequate support and use assistance

during procedure. Ensure that any lifting device used is in good condition and of suitable load

capacity. Keep clear of heavy parts supported only by lifting device. Failure to follow this

warning may result in injury or death.
