Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids. (See additional information, Avoid High-Pressure Fluids, in Safety section.)

Refer to the procedures for disconnecting the hydraulic hoses in the tractor Operator’s Manual for more information.

Relieve hydraulic pressure:

  1. Park the tractor and lower the loader until flat on the ground.
  2. Shut off the engine. Shut off the engine and return the key to the ON position for electronically operated control valves (tractor or loader with a third-function).
  3. Move the loader controls (including the third-function control when necessary) in all possible positions several times making sure that the controls are returned back to the NEUTRAL position.
  4. Place the key in the OFF position.
