Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions
Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect yourself and others
from injury. Take the following general precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system.
Warning:
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard.
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or
bystanders. To prevent unintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the
mechanism while servicing.
Warning:
Flammable cleaning solvents
Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To eliminate the risk of fire, do not use cleaning solvents
in an area where a source of ignition may be present.
Warning: Fluid under pressure
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing
serious injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns. Use caution
when dealing with hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure in the system before
removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or components. Never use your hand or any other body part
to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek medical attention immediately if you are cut by
hydraulic fluid.
Warning: Personal safety
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses at all times.
