Before making any test or adjustments to the brake system, stop the machine on level ground. Permit only one man on the machine. Keep all other personnel away from the machine. Never disconnect oil lines or remove plugs in the brake circuit until the oil pressure is removed. Failure to remove this pressure will have a result of a sudden release of oil under a pressure of as high as 18,600 kPa (2700 psi). To remove the oil pressure from the brake circuit: Activate the parking brake. Stop the engine. Push on the brake pedal many times until there is no brake oil pressure.
