INTRODUCTION
Heating lines containing pressurized fluid
NOTICE:
Flammable sprays can be generated by heating near lines containing pressurized fluid, resulting in severe
burns to those doing the repair and to bystanders.
• Do not cause heating by welding, or use open flames
near the components containing pressurized fluid or
other flammable materials.
• Install temporary fire protection to protect the lines and
other components of the machine when you perform a
welding procedure.
NOTE:
Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when
the heat goes beyond the area of the flame.
• Avoid heating lines containing flammable fluids
• Do not weld or torch cut lines that contain flammable
fluids.
• Clean the lines to be welded or cut with non-flammable
solvents before welding or cutting them.
