FIG. 6: Fluid Leak Detection
•
Correct hydraulic leaks immediately. All fittings must
be tight and all lines and hoses in good condition.
Escaping hydraulic fluid, under extremely high
pressure, can penetrate the skin and cause blood
poisoning. Use a piece of wood or cardboard to
detect fluid leaks (Fig. 1). If injured by escaping fluid,
see a doctor immediately.

and parts from machine before operating it.

When working around discs, be careful to not get cut
on sharp edges.

remove a wheel for tire repair.
•
Tire changing can be very hazardous and must be
done by trained personnel using proper tools and
equipment.

under-inflated or run flat. Have it checked by qualified
personnel.
