Hydraulic-Operated Attachments

  1. CAUTION:

    X9811
    X9811-UN-23AUG88

    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.

    Avoid personal injury caused by unexpected loader movement. Hose connections must be correct for loader to respond as expected when control lever is moved.

    IMPORTANT: Before connecting coupler halves make sure that fittings are free of dirt and debris.
