Checking the Hydraulic
Hoses
After every 100 operating hours, check the
hydraulic hoses for leaks, loose fittings, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, weather,
and chemical deterioration. Replace the hydraulic
hoses every 1500 hours or 2 years, which ever
comes first. Make necessary repairs before
operating.
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.
