Hydraulic System
Maintenance
Hydraulic System Safety
•
Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected
into skin. Injected fluid must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor.
•
Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses and lines are
in good condition and all hydraulic connections
and fittings are tight before applying pressure to
the hydraulic system.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic
fluid.
•
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
•
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system
before performing any work on the hydraulic
system.
Relieving Hydraulic
Pressure
To relieve hydraulic pressure while the machine is on,
disengage the auxiliary hydraulics and fully lower the
loader arms.
To relieve the pressure while the machine is off, move
the auxiliary-hydraulics lever between the forward and
reverse flow positions to relieve auxiliary hydraulic
pressure, move the attachment-tilt lever forward and
rearward, and move the loader-arm lever forward to
lower the loader arms
