Safety AMADAS Digger-Inverters
NOTE! This section covers general safety. Some items may not apply to this type of machine.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
CAUTION
•
Use extreme care when working with
hydraulic components and high pressure
sprays.
•
Escaping fluid or spray under pressure can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury.
•
To avoid injury, relieve pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
•
Tighten all connections before applying
hydraulic or spray pressure.
•
Search hoses/connections for leaks with a
piece of cardboard.
•
Take appropriate safety measures to
protect hands, body, and face from high
pressure fluids.
•
Always wear appropriate safety gear to
protect hands, body and face from
exposure to high pressure fluids.
•
Never try to block the flow or search for
leaks of high pressure fluids with your
hands even if wearing gloves. High
pressure fluids can penetrate gloves as well
as your skin.
•
Always avoid direct contact of any high
pressure fluid low.
•
If an accident occurs, respond as follows:
o
Seek medical treatment
immediately. Any fluid injected into
the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene may
result.
o
Alert the medical professionals that
a fluid injection or high pressure
spray injury has occurred.
o
Give information on the type of fluid
or spray and time the accident
occurred. If known, include the
amount of fluid injected and/or the
system injection pressure.
o
Surgery will most likely be required,
so no food or drink for the affected
person.

should reference a knowledgeable medical
source. Such information is available in
