6. Check daily and always after damage the most important parts of the hydraulic system. Repair
the damaged parts immediately.
7. Clean the surface of the components to be repaired. Do not use dissolvents when cleaning the
parts.
8. Do not try to do repairs which you do not master.
9. Never try to do repairs in the hydraulic circuit, when the system is pressurized. A compressed
oil jet may penetrate your skin and be lethal.
10. Do not use the equipment if the system has a leaking hose.
11. Make sure that all joints are tight and that the lines have not been damaged.
12. Do not work underneath a machine or component, which is only held up hydraulically. Use
separate supports when servicing or repairing.
13. Do not disconnect the cylinders of the machine or their counter valves before the machine has
been supported well.
14. The length and quality of the pipe connectors and hoses must correspond to the set
requirements. When replacing or repairing the hoses, use original spare parts or hoses and
connectors, which are in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. It is to made
sure, in particular, that the pressure classes of the hoses and connectors correspond to the
operating pressures.
15. All changes in the equipment require a written permit from the manufacturer.
16. Hydraulic oils do not normally evaporate easily. However, hot oil, splashes and oil fog (under
pressure) are danger factors. Small amounts do not normally cause intoxication when inhaled
or swallowed. Old, dirty oil is more dangerous than new oil.
17. If you get oil in your eyes, rinse them with abundant water and see a doctor.
18. Occasional skin contact is not normally harmful if the skin is healthy and there are no open
wounds. You can wipe or wash the oil from the skin. The problem is repeated skin contact,
which results in dry and chapping skin of the hands. The oil dissolves the natural protective
grease layer off the skin and the skin gets small cuts and scratches easily. Hydraulic oil that
penetrate the scratches can cause an inflammation and a rash.
19. If you cannot avoid splashes or skin contact, use safety gloves, glasses and clothing as
necessary. Do not use oily clothes.
20. Hydraulic oil must not get into the environment, because it may pollute the water system and
groundwater. However, if it is necessary to work in ecologically sensitive areas, mineral oil
should be replaced by vegetable oil (rape---seed oil).
21. Store the oil in a closed vessels provided by the factory. Try to get the oil directly from the
vessel into the tank.
22. If you must pour oil into other containers, it is important that they are clean. Also the caps,
funnels, filters and filling holes must be clean.
23. Do not store oil out---of---doors to prevent water from condensing in the oil.
24. Always drain waste oils into a vessel and not into the environment.
