2.10 HYDRAULIC SAFETY
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral before
disconnecting and working on hydraulic systems.
• Relieve pressure in hydraulic system before
maintaining or working on machine.
• Make sure that all components in the hydraulic
system are kept in good condition and are clean.
• Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or
crimped hoses.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic
fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps or cements.
The hydraulic system operates under extremely
high-pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly and
create a hazardous and unsafe condition.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection
when searching for a high-pressure
hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood
or cardboard as a backstop instead of
hands to isolate and identify a leak.
• If injured by a concentrated high-
pressure stream of hydraulic fluid, seek
medical attention immediately. Serious
infection or toxic reaction can develop
from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin
surface.
2.11 TRANSPORT SAFETY
• Close valves in hydraulic line before transporting.
• Check that all the lights, reflectors and other lighting
requirements are installed and in good working
condition.
• Always engage folding conveyor transport lock
before transporting.
• Comply with all local laws governing safety and
transporting of equipment on public roads.
• Do not exceed a safe travel speed. Slow down for
rough terrain and when cornering.
• Stay away from overhead power lines.
Electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
• Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
• Do not drink and drive.
• Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to
oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow
bridges, intersections, etc. Watch for traffic when
operating near or crossing roadways.
