DANGER
Hydraulic Pressure
Hydraulic fluid at system pressure can injure you. Before
disconnecting or connecting hydraulic hoses, stop the
engine and operate the controls to release pressure
trapped in the hoses. Make sure the engine cannot be
started while the hoses are open.

hydraulic pressure by moving the backhoe and
stabiliser control levers back and forth.
Note: If a check valve is fitted on the ram, the system will
not vent. Extreme caution must be used when releasing
hydraulic connections - release the connections one turn
and allow the pressure to dissipate.
