REMOVAL - CONTINUED

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 3,000 psi (20685 kPa),

even with engine and pump OFF. After maintenance, tighten all connections before applying pressure.

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing injury or death.

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

lics. Failure to do so could result in injury.

CAUTION

Wipe area clean around all hydraulic connections to be opened during removal. Cap oil lines and plug holes

after removing lines. Contamination of the hydraulic system could result in premature failure.

NOTE

If more than one hydraulic line is to be

removed, tag and identify lines to ensure

proper installation. Use container to catch

any hydraulic oil that may drain from the

system.

hoses (7).
