Warnings & Cautions - Section 22 OM2204 Page 22-4 A decal plate is located on the frame near the left hoist cylinder which provides the operator or techni- cian with the hook-up procedure for dumping a loaded, disabled truck, by using a functional truck for hydraulic power. Refer to the Service manual for additional instruc- tions for using this procedure. A CAUTION decal is attached below the hydraulic tank oil level sight gauge. Check level with body down, engine stopped, and key switch “Off”. Add oil per filling instructions, if oil level is below top of sight glass.
A warning plate is attached to the frame above the hydraulic system (APU) quick disconnect fittings to inform technicians that high pressure hydraulic oil is present during operation. When it is necessary to open the hydraulic system, be sure engine is stopped and key switch is “Off” to bleed down hydraulic pres- sure. There is always a chance of residual pressure being present. Open fittings slowly to allow all pres- sure to bleed off before removing any connections. Any operating fluid, such as hydraulic oil, escap- ing under pressure can have sufficient force to enter a person's body by penetrating the skin.
Serious injury and possibly death may result if proper medical treatment by a physician familiar with this injury is not received immediately.
