FIG. 18: Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury.
Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours. If not treated immediately, a serious
infection or toxic reaction can develop. See a doctor
familiar with this type of injury immediately.
FIG. 19: Hydraulic fluid escaping from a very small hole
can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
to search for possible leaks, never use your hands. When
checking for suspected leaks, wear leather gloves for
hand protection and safety goggles for eye protection.
Be sure to relieve all pressure from hydraulic lines before
disconnecting them. Before applying pressure to the
system, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and
hydraulic lines have not been damaged.
Make sure electrical connectors are free of dirt and
grease before connecting.
Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness. Check
for loose, broken, missing, or damaged parts. Keep
everything in good repair.
After unplugging, lubricating, servicing, cleaning, or
adjusting the machine make sure all tools and equipment
have been removed.
Make sure all shields and guards are in the correct
position before operating the machine.

CYLINDER STOPS
FIG. 20: Both header lift cylinders have cylinder
stops (1). The cylinder stops are activated by one lever (2)
outside the cab door.
To engage the cylinder stops, raise the header
completely. Move the lever toward the cab and then pull
back toward the rear of the machine to engage the
cylinder stops. Make sure the cylinder stops are
completely engaged in both header lift cylinders.
To disengage the cylinder stops, raise the header
completely. Move the lever toward the cab and then push
forward toward the header to disengage the cylinder
stops. Make sure the cylinder stops are completely
disengaged from both header lift cylinders.
ACCUMULATORS
The accumulator is charged with dry nitrogen. Use only
dry nitrogen when charging the accumulators. DO NOT
use air or oxygen or an explosion will occur.
DO NOT drop the accumulators. Charged accumulators
contain nitrogen under pressure. If the charging valves
break away from the accumulators, the escaping nitrogen
will propel the accumulators at a high rate of speed.
mDANGER: Charging or replacing the
accumulators must be performed by an
authorized dealer only.
