Disconnecting Cylinder Hoses
1.
If possible, retract remote cylinder as much as possible to protect rod from damage.
CAUTION:
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by moving all rear SCV control levers and mid-mount joystick in all directions to relieve 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 into the 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.
2.
With as much hydraulic pressure relieved as possible from hoses, pull hoses from couplers.
3.
Rear SCV:
Wipe clean, then close coupler cover (A). Install dust caps on hose ends.
