Mount Pressure Switch
Assemblies
Before disconnecting or performing any work on
the hydraulic system, all pressure in the system
must be relieved by stopping the engine and
lowering the cutting units to the ground.
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid.
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid accidentally
injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene may result.
Warning
Important Before disconnecting any hoses, fittings or
tube assemblies, note their orientation, location and routing.
This will ensure proper installation of new components.
