HYDRAULIC HOSES & FITTINGS
•
Hydraulic hoses and fittings should
be inspected every 10 hours
or daily.
What to look for:
◦
Hydraulic fitting clamps and
threaded connections for any
hydraulic fluid.
-
If any leaks are observed,
stop immediately to prevent
damage to your machine.
◦
Hoses for any abrasions or cuts.
Replace damaged or worn hoses.
◦
Attach hose wrap around critical
points where hoses are likely
pinched or rubbed.
DO NOT check for hydraulic leaks with your hands or any part of your
body. Use a heavy piece of paper or cardboard to check areas that are
not readily visible. Pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate the skin
and lead to serious health risks.
