Safety • Lower the attachment to the ground, turn OFF the engine and relieve trapped pressure before performing work on components or disconnecting any hoses. Refer to PARKING THE MACHINE in THIS SECTION. The accumulators will self drain within 2 minutes of turning OFF the engine.
WARNING
Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid that is under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious personal injury, blindness, or death. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with treating this type of injury.
• Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling systems can cause serious burns. • Turn OFF the engine. Only remove the radiator fill cap when it is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen the cap to the first stop to relieve pressure before removing the cap completely.
• Never use your bare hand to check for fluid leaks. • Fluid leaks, under pressure, may not be visible. When searching for leaks, wear work gloves and use a wrench or piece of wood to move hydraulic hoses. Do not grab hold of hydraulic hoses. Wear safety goggles for eye protection.
• Do not change any pressure or relief settings unless Tigercat authorized instruction has been obtained. • Use the proper tool for the job. Repair or replace worn or damaged tools, including lifting equipment, immediately. • When opening or closing the power operated engine door, watch for personnel in door areas.
Pressure can be maintained in a hydraulic system long after the power source and pump have been shut down. 870DLX-005
