SAFETY

Hydraulic System Safety

DO NOT smoke when working on hydraulic systems
NEVER use your hand to search for hydraulic fluid leaks Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury and other health hazards Escaping fluid can also be extremely hot causing severe burns
Use a scrap piece of cardboard to check for leaks
IF ANY FLUID IS INJECTED INTO YOUR SKIN, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY! Notify medical staff that there
is an injection injury with hydraulic fluid Injected fluid must be surgically removed by a doctor familiar with this type of injury
or gangrene may result
DO NOT attempt to loosen or disconnect any lines, hoses, or fittings without first relieving hydraulic circuit pressure Be careful
not to touch any hydraulic components recently in operation because they can be extremely hot
ALWAYS replace hydraulic components with manufacturer recommended replacement parts Improperly rated components
may result in system failure and/or injuries
Contact your local Balzer dealer to order replacement parts
