hydraulic system controls remain pressurized if the accumulator is charged. This condition is true even when the engine is not running. The hydraulic control system pressure should decrease in a short time (approximately 1 minute). While the hydraulic controls maintain a charge, the hydraulic work tools and machine controls remain functional. There can be residual pressure within the hydraulic system even when the accumulator is empty. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "System Pressure Relief" before any service is performed to the hydraulic system.Machine movement that is sudden and unexpected will occur if any of the controls are moved. Machine movement that is sudden and unexpected, can cause personal injury or death.Always move the hydraulic lockout control to the LOCKED position before you shut off the engine or immediately after the engine stops running.Place the machine in the servicing position.Note: Make sure that all work tools are in the recommended servicing position before servicing the machine.Move the hydraulic lockout control to the LOCKED position.Stop the engine.Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position and remove the engine start switch key.Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position.
