WARNING
Escaping fluid!
Hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause infection or
other injury. To prevent personal injury: Relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines or per-
forming work on the hydraulic system. Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight
and all components are in good condition. Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under
pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose. If injured by leaking fluid, see your
doctor immediately.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0178A
Hydraulic hoses are important safety elements in mod-
ern machinery. However, over the years, hose char-
acteristics alter under pressure, thermal load and UV
light. Therefore, most hoses now have a production
date printed on the metal clamp bushing which allows
to determine the age.
Legislation in certain countries and good practice re-
quire that hydraulic hoses are replaced when they be-
come 6 years old.
