DANGER:
Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes. This can cause
serious personal injury, blindness, or death.
1.1.25 Fluid penetration
Always use a board or cardboard when checking
for a leak. Leaking fluid under pressure can
penetrate the body tissue. Fluid penetration can
cause serious injury and possible death. A pin hole
leak can cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into
the skin, get treatment immediately. Get
treatment from a doctor familiar with this type of
injury.
Check the lines, the tubes and the hoses carefully.
Do not use your bare hand instead, use a board or
cardboard to check for leaks. Tighten all
connections to the recommended torque.
Replace the hose if any of the following conditions
are present:
• End fittings are damaged or leaking.
• Outer coverings are rubbed or cut.
• Wires are showing.
• Outer coverings are ballooning.
• The flexible part of the hose has a kink.
• Outer coverings have embedded armoring.
• The end fittings are displaced.
IMPORTANT:
Take care to contain fluids during
the performance of the inspection, the
maintenance, the testing, the adjusting, and the
repair of the machine. Have a suitable container
large enough ready to collect the fluid before
opening any compartment or disassembling any
component containing fluids. See the local
regulations and mandates when discarding fluids.
