• Lower the attachment to the ground, turn OFF the engine and relieve trapped pressure before performing work on components or disconnecting any hoses (Parking the Boom). The accumulators will self drain within two minutes of turning OFF the engine.

• Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling systems can cause serious burns.

• Turn OFF the engine. Only remove the coolant fill cap when it is cool enough to touch with bare hands.

Slowly loosen the fill cap to the first stop to relieve pressure before removing the fill cap completely.
