Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Keep hands and body away from pinholes and nozzles which eject fluids under high pressure. To search for leaks, use a piece of cardboard or paper. DO NOT use a hand. If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gangrene can result.

Check for loose hydraulic fittings.

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

□ Check for hydraulic oil leaks. (See Tighten Hydraulic Fittings and Hoses in Service section.)

□ Check for missing or loose hardware. (See Every 50 Hours in Lubrication and Maintenance section.)

□ Check the tractor transmission and hydraulic fluid level. See the tractor Operator's Manual for more information.

□ Lubricate the loader. (See Lubrication and Maintenance section.)
