HYDRAULIC SAFETY
Make sure that all the components in the
hydraulic system are kept in good condition
and are clean.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded, fl attened or
crimped hoses and metal lines.
Relieve pressure before working on
hydraulic system.
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fi ttings or hoses by using
tapes, clamps or cements. The hydraulic
system operates under extremely high
pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly
and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
Wear proper hand and
eye protection when
searching for a high
pressure hydraulic
leak. Use a piece of wood
or cardboard as a
backstop instead of hands
to isolate and identify
a leak.
If injured by a concentrated high pressure
stream of hydraulic fl uid, seek medical
attention immediately. Serious infection or
toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic
fl uid piercing the skin surface.
Before applying pressure to the system,
make sure all components are tight and
that lines, hoses and couplings are not
damaged.
When disconnecting hydraulic lines, shut off
hydraulic supply and relieve hydraulic
pressure.
