Safety Precautions
Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect yourself and others
from injury. Take the following general precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system.
Tools
Warning
It is compulsory to use anti sparking safety tools in case the service/repair activity has to be performed in
explosive hazardous atmosphere.
Sparking from External Impacts
Warning
Avoid impact on the aluminum nameplate material to eliminate risk of thermite sparks. Only applicable if
aluminum nameplate is used.
Unintended Machine Movement
Warning
Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
To protect against unintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism
while servicing. Follow the manufacturers instructions for securing the machine.
Personal Safety
Warning
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, at all times.
Hot Surfaces
Warning
The pump surface temperature may exceed 70°C [158°F] during operation and after system power-down.
Precautions should be taken to prevent accidental skin contact.
Flammable Cleaning Solvents
Warning
Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To avoid possible fire, do not use cleaning solvents in an area
where a source of ignition may be present
Fluid Under Pressure
Warning
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious
injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns. Use caution when dealing with
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or
components. Never use your hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek
medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
