Hydraulic Safety Precautions
1) All
WARNING
statements must be carefully observed to help prevent per-
sonal injury.
2) Should a Hydraulic hose ever rupture, burst or need to be disconnected,
shut-off all pumps and release the pressure. Do not attempt to grasp the hose,
this could cause serious injury.
3) Keep hoses away from potential hazards, such as fire, sharp surfaces,
heavy impact, or extreme heat or cold. Hoses should not be allowed to kink,
twist, curl, crush or bend tightly so that the fluid flow is compromised.
4) Periodically inspect all the hoses for wear, which can cause damage to the
hose and can possibly result in personal injury.
5) The hose should never be used as a handle to move the machinery around.
Stress can cause damage to the hose and possibly cause personal injury.
6) Before replenishing the fluids, retract the system to prevent overfilling the
pump reservoir. Any reservoir overfilled can cause personnel injury due to
excess reservoir pressure created when cylinders are retracted.
