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

7. Move control lever(s) back and forth and side-to-side (if applicable) several times to relieve hydraulic pressure. (See tractor Operator's Manual.)

CAUTION: Help prevent personal injury caused by unexpected loader movement. Anticipated loader movement responds to control lever only if hoses are connected correctly.
