Safety - Section 2 11/98 OM2013 Page 2-18 General Safety A Steering and Hoist Oil decal is located to the left of the left hand filler cap on left hand side of hydraulic tank. DANGER plates are mounted on each suspension cylinder. These plates warn that the suspensions are charged with high pressure nitrogen. No servicing of any kind should be attempted until the service man- ual has been referenced and proper and safe proce- dures are followed. Caution plates are mounted at the air tank on center top deck, also at rear frame just below tail light assemblies. Caution should be used when open- ing drain valves. The system is under high pres- sure.
A CAUTION plate is attached to the hydraulic tank, alerting the service person that the engine must always be shut down and cooled before removing filler cap. This plate also alerts the service person of HOT oil under pressure. Hydraulic oil becomes heated and pressurized during operation. Care must be taken to avoid burns when it is necessary to open the hydraulic system. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to enter a person's body by penetrating the skin and cause serious injury and possible death if proper medical treatment by a physician familiar with this injury is not received immediately.
A Brake Cooling Oil decal is located between the filler cap and sight gauge on the right hand side of the hydraulic tank.
