Servicing the hydraulic system
Caution Danger of injury from moving parts! Never open the driver‘s platform when the engine is running. Danger of scalding from hot hydraulic fluid! Danger of injury from hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure! A fine jet of hydraulic fluid under high pressure can pierce the skin. Go to a doctor immediately should you get hydraulic fluid in your eyes or on your skin. Open hydraulic systems only if they have been depressurised. Even if a loader is parked on a horizontal surface with its lift frame completely lowered and engine turned off, there can still be considerable residual pressure in parts of the hydraulic system. Residual pressure reduces gradually at first. If a hydraulic system is opened immediately after shutting down, the system has to be depressurised as described in the chapter „Discharging residual pressure in the hydraulic system“.

Note Danger of technical damage! ►► Service the hydraulic system according to the inspection intervals specified in this operating manual. ►► Exercise extreme cleanliness when carrying out service work on the hydraulic system. Impurities in the hydraulic fluid in the form of dirt or water can result in premature wear or failure of the entire system.
