To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the machine
is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the machine.
Coolant System
Pressurized system: Hot coolant can cause serious burn. To open cap,
stop engine, wait until radiator is cool. Then loosen cap slowly to relieve
the pressure.
To relieve the pressure from the coolant system, turn off the machine. Allow the cooling system
pressure cap to cool. Remove the cooling system pressure cap slowly to relieve pressure.

Hydraulic System
The release of hydraulic pressure in a hydraulic circuit is required before service is performed to that
hydraulic circuit. Release the pressure in the following hydraulic circuits before any hydraulic lines
are disconnected or removed from that hydraulic circuit.
Note: Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly Manual for additional information concerning service
of the components of specific hydraulic circuits.
Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the
engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is
not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.
Make sure all of the work tools have been lowered to the ground, and
the oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil
filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool
enough to touch with your bare hand.

Perform the following steps to release the hydraulic system pressure from the main hydraulic system.
Note: For additional safety, wrap hydraulic joint with material that could absorb/reduce any residual
pressure of oil when released. Loosen the joint slowly, pause, and carefully check hydraulic joint for
tensions indicating presence of pressure or spring force in lines or components.

2. Fully retract the stick cylinder rod. Adjust the position of the bucket so that the bucket is
parallel to the ground. Lower the boom until the work tool is flat on the ground. Refer to
Illustration 1.
3. Release the system pressure from the implement and swing hydraulic circuits.
Note: Perform Step 3.b through Step 3.d immediately after the engine is shut off to insure
adequate pilot system pressure is available to release the pressure in the hydraulic circuits.
b. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position without starting the engine.

d. Move both joysticks in a circular motion to the FULL STROKE positions multiple times
until the pilot accumulator has been exhausted.
Note: Do not activate any controls when recharging the pilot accumulator.
h. Repeat Step 3.b through Step 3.g until the high-pressure lines have been released.
Note: Each time the accumulator is recharged, start the joysticks at different positions or
rotate in the reverse direction. Doing so will ensure that the same circuit is not being
relieved each time.
Note: You can also move only the joysticks or pedals of the hydraulic circuit that
requires service to the full stroke positions after moving joysticks in a circular motion
multiple times. This action will release the high pressure only in that single hydraulic
circuit. This action will also release any pressure that might be present in the pilot
hydraulic circuit.

Note: Perform Step 4.c through Step 4.e immediately after the engine is shut off to insure
adequate pilot system pressure is available to release the pressure in the hydraulic
circuits.
c. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position without starting the engine.
i. Repeat Step 4.c through Step 4.f for each attachment circuit.
5. After releasing the hydraulic pressure in each of the desired hydraulic circuits, place the
hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.

7. Release the pressure that may be present in the return hydraulic circuit with the following
procedure. Refer to Illustration 3 for filler cap positions.
a. Turn the filler cap counterclockwise and move the arrow from position (A) to position
(B).
b. Release the pressure for a minimum of 45 seconds by moving the arrow from position
(B) to position (C).
c. Push down the filler cap and move the arrow from position (C) to position (D).
Note: The travel hydraulic circuit is open to the hydraulic tank. Pressure from the travel
circuit is released by releasing pressure from the return circuit.
8. Release the pressure that may be present in the boom circuit to remove the risk of residual
pressure in the line. Make sure that the engine start switch is in the off position and the pressure
in the hydraulic tank has been released.

c. Use a clean hose of adequate length and size and connect to screw (5). Put the other end
of the hose in the filler cap opening.
d. Slowly loosen screw (5) by a maximum of 1/2 turn. Loosening the screw allows the
hydraulic oil in the boom circuit to drain into the hydraulic tank.

Note: Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, Equipment Lowering with
Engine Stopped for information on lowering the work tool with the engine off.
f. Disconnect the hose from screw (5). Do not allow the oil that is contained in the hose to
spill. Drain the oil into a suitable container.
9. The pressure in the multiple hydraulic circuits that require service is now released and lines and
components can be disconnected or removed from those hydraulic circuits.
