CHECK HYDRAULIC HOSES
WARNING; Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause severe burns that may result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING; Keep body and hands away from leaks, pin holes or nozzles which may eject hydraulic oil under
pressure.
ALWAYS use paper or cardboard and not hands or fingers to search for leaks.
Inspect and know that all hydraulic connections and hydraulic hoses are in good condition before applying pressure to them.
Foreign fluids injected into skin must be removed immediately by a doctor familiar with this form of injury.
Seek immediate medical attention if an accident occurs.
Replace any hydraulic hose that shows signs of wear, fatigue, cracking, blistering etc. before using the G41.
Make sure engine is off, machine is cold, and pressure has been relieved from system by moving hydraulic controls in all
directions before attempting to remove a hose. Hydraulic hoses should be replaced as wear dictates.
