Checking the Hydraulic Lines
After every 100 operating hours, check hydraulic lines
and hoses for leaks, loose fittings, kinked lines, loose
mounting supports, wear, weather and chemical deterior-
ation. Make necessary repairs before operating.
Note: Keep areas around hydraulic system clean
from grass and debris build up.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can pene-
trate skin and cause injury.
•
If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin it must
be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury. Gangrene
may result if this is not done.
•
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic
fluid.
•
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
•
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic sys-
tem before performing any work on the hydraulic
system.
•
Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines are
in good condition and all hydraulic connections
and fittings are tight before applying pressure to
hydraulic system.
