'pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, to check for leaks. Hydraulic oil under pressure will penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that in the event hydraulic fluid penetratesthe skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene may result.
mA --Donot operatethefront loader If the fittings or the hoses are leaking or damaged. A sudden line burst could cause the main frame to drop suddenly, causing damage to the tractor or loader or injury to personnel.
1 --Accidental movement of control lever or leak in the hydraulic system could cause main frame to drop, causing serious Injury. Do not stand or walk under a raisedattachment.
Note: When checking hydraulic system oil level, the loadershould be on the ground and bucket fully retracted (all cylinders in the retracted position). Grease all loader pivot points as indicated on lubrication chart.
Inspect hydraulichoses,connections,control valve and cylinders for evidence of leakage
Note: If oil seepage past cylinder rod is evident, look for scoring on rod.
Tractor tire inflation should be checked as listed in tractor owner's manual to ensure tire inflation is to specification.
Unequal inflation can result in bucket not being level to the ground.
Fronttires should be maintainedat maximum recommended inflation to maintain normal tire profile with added loader weight and material.
