Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot
oil.

rI
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after
the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if nc.
this pressure is not released before any service is done on the
hydraulic system.

Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered, and the oil
is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the
oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap
is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.
