6.6.1 Safety instructions for hydraulic assemblies
High-pressure ejection of fluid may penetrate skin and cause serious injuries:
DANGER
Risk of high pressure fluid injection
through skin - High-pressure ejection of
fluid may penetrate skin and cause serious
injuries.
Before handling hydraulic components, make
sure that the hydraulic system of the
attachment and the loader are completely
depressurized. Never handle pressurized
fittings.
Never hold your hand tightly around or near a
fitting when tightening or opening it, or when
searching for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard
to find leaks.
Seek medical attention immediately in case
hydraulic fluid is injected through the skin. Also
general skin contact with the oil can be
harmful. Always wear protective gloves, safety
goggles and protective clothing.
Before handling hydraulic assemblies:
1.
Allow the hydraulic systems of the loader and of the attachment to cool down
completely before any work on hydraulic systems.
2.
Make sure that the loader boom or any other part of the attachment can’t move
causing crushing or pinching hazards:

Lower the loader boom to its lower position and lower the attachment firmly on
the ground. For the best stability, keep the attachment locked on the loader.

Set all moving components to a position where they are not supported by
hydraulic cylinders.

Use additional supports or lifting equipment as needed.
3.
Shut down the loader engine.
4.
Move the auxiliary hydraulics control lever to its extreme positions several times to
release residual pressure.
5.
Uncouple the multiconnector or quick couplings from the auxiliary hydraulics of the
loader to prevent draining of hydraulic oil.
