Locate FEL hydraulic valve block (1) below front windshield and identify hydraulic valve (2) that operates
component to be manually operated.
Manually operating hydraulic components is extremely dangerous. This procedure should only be
done when normal hydraulic operations do not function and emergency movement of the vehicle is
required. Manual operation of these valves can cause serious injury or death.
Stay clear of moving FEL arms and ensure that no personnel are within the FEL crush zone when
operating the FEL hydraulic valves. Failure to comply will result in serious injury or death to
personnel.
