Safety Rules
HANDLING HYDRAULIC FLUID SAFELY
Check for hydraulic leaks before starting the hydraulic power source.
Visually check for leaks from the hydraulic fittings, and lines and do not use if
any leaks are found.
Hydraulic fluid is combustible or can become combustible.
Consult the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for the hydraulic fluid being used for
flash point and auto ignition temperature ranges. When these fluids discharge
under pressure in a fine mist, they ignite easily, burn rapidly, and emit large
quantities of heat. In fact, their heats of combustion, which are over 18,000
BTU/lb (2327 kJ/kg), are comparable to fuel oil.
WARNING
CAUTION
