causym 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 to surgically remove any fluid injected into the skin. Fluid must be removed within a few hours to avoid gangrene. 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.

4. Turn key to ON position. Do not start tractor engine. Move loader control lever in all directions several times. (See your tractor operator's manual for specific procedures about relieving hydraulic pressure.)

5. If equipped with a mechanical lever and electro-hydraulic valve on third function (attachment, such as grapple), press switch (A) several times.
