2.1.3 Knowing and preventing dangers
2.1.3.1 Safety hazards on the machine
Liquids under pressure
Escaping high pressure hydraulic fluid can penetrate into the body through the skin and cause serious
personal injuries. A hole the size of a needle can already result in serious personal injuries.
Before you uncouple hydraulic hoses or check them for damage,
depressurise the hydraulic system.
If you suspect damage on a pressure system,
have the pressure system checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
Never look for leaks with your bare hands.
Keep your body and face away from leaks.
If liquids penetrate the body,
consult a doctor immediately.
