High Pressure Leaks - MASSEY FERGUSON 1383 Workshop Service Manual

If any flame cutting, welding, or arc welding is to
be done on the machine or attachments, make
sure to clear any crop material or debris from
around the area. Make sure the area below the
work area is clear of any flammable material as
falling molten metal or sparks can ignite the
material.
If fire occurs stand upwind and away from smoke
from the fire.

1.2.4.3 High pressure leaks

Fluid leaking from the hydraulic system or the fuel
injection system under high pressure can be very
hard to see. The fluid can go into the skin causing
serious injury.
Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours. If not removed
immediately, serious infection or reaction can
develop. Go immediately to a doctor who knows
about this type of injury.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks. Do not use your bare hand. Wear
leather gloves for hand protection and safety
goggles for eye protection.
Relieve all pressure before loosening any hydraulic
lines. Relieve the pressure by lowering raised
equipment, shutting off accumulator valve, if
equipped, and shutting off the engine. Tighten all
connections securely before applying pressure.
