Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic oil system on this machine after the engine and pump have been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic systems. To prevent possible injury, refer to the procedure in Testing and Adjusting Manual, "Release of Pressure in the Hydraulic System".When possible, the bucket must always be lowered to the ground before service is started. When it is necessary for the boom to be in the raised position while tests or adjustments are done, be sure that the boom, stick and bucket have correct support.Be sure the swing parking brakes and the travel parking brakes are on and the brake release lines are disconnected and plugged.Always move the machine to a location away from the travel of other machines. Be sure that other personnel are not near the machine when the engine is running and tests or adjustments are being made.
