SAFETY
Safe Hydraulic Maintenance
•
Always practice personal safety when performing service or
maintenance on the hydraulic system.
•
Use caution when working with hydraulic fluid under pressure.
Escaping fluid can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin
causing serious injury. This fluid may also be hot enough to
burn.
•
Always lower the load or relieve the pressure before repairing a
hydraulic oil leak.
•
Avoid torching, welding and soldering near pressurized hydraulic
lines. Pressurized lines may accidentally burst when heat goes
beyond the immediate flame area.
