Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make sure all lines, fittings, and couplers are tight
and in good condition.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
Maintain fasteners in running gear systems at their specified torque at all times.
Clear the area of bystanders, especially children, when carrying out any maintenance and repairs
or making any adjustments.
Do not allow grease or oil to build up on the machine.
Hydraulic Safety
Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condition and are clean.
Replace any worn, cut, abraded or flattened hoses or metal lines immediately.
Relieve pressure before working on hydraulic systems.
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings or hoses. The hydraulic system
operates under extremely high pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous
and unsafe condition.
Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a
piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.
If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention
immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin
surface.
Before applying pressure to the system, make sure all components are tight and that lines, hoses,
and couplings are not damaged.
Tire Safety
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an
explosion, which may result in serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the
job.
Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform required tire maintenance.
