    A - Hose Holder

    Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate skin causing serious injury. Avoid hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.

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

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

    To avoid serious injury to you, never attempt to disconnect hydraulic hoses under pressure. SCV I and II levers must be in NEUTRAL positions before disconnecting hoses to prevent a sudden accident.

    IMPORTANT: All couplers must be clear of debris, dust, and sand. Use protective caps on fluid openings until ready to make connection. Foreign material can damage hydraulic system.

    Place SCV I and II levers in NEUTRAL positions.
