Check Hydraulic System

CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate skin causing serious injury.

Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines to avoid this hazard . Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

Search for leaks with piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene can result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury must reference a knowledgeable medical source. Such information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.

Hydraulic hoses can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses regularly. Replace damaged hoses.

After applying pressure to system, check all hydraulic connections and hoses for leaks.

IMPORTANT: Tractor hydraulic oil level can drop below operating level when operating machine for the first time. Check tractor hydraulic oil level after filling cylinders with oil for the first time.
