Checking the Hydraulic Lines

Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the hydraulic
lines for leaks, loose fittings, kinked lines,
loose mounting supports, wear, weather,
and chemical deterioration. (Make
necessary repairs before operating.)
Every 1,500 hours/Every 2 years (whichever comes
first)—Replace all moving hydraulic hoses.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected into
the skin must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury
or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin
hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks,
never use your hands.
