Safety
WARNING
Hydraulic hoses and tubing must be
inspected on a daily basis for leaks, cuts,
abrasions, damage, aging, improper
clearance, and along the frame for hidden
damage. If you find hoses with any
such adverse conditions or damage, they
must be replaced before the vehicle is
returned to service! Failure to properly
inspect and maintain your vehicle may
result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING
Hydraulic systems are hot. DO NOT TOUCH!
Serious personal injury or death may result
from hot oil. When you have completed
working on the hydraulic systems,
thoroughly clean any spilled oil from the
equipment. Do not spill any hydraulic fluid
on the ground. Clean any hydraulic fluid from
your skin as soon as you have completed
your maintenance and repairs. Dispose of
used oil and filters as required by law.
WARNING
The hydraulic cylinders can be holding a
function in a certain position when the
engine is OFF. An example of this would be
a function being held in the lift or partial lift
position by the cylinders. If a hydraulic line
is removed or the hydraulic circuits or
controls are being worked on, gravity may
allow the function being held in position to
drop. All workers and personnel must
remain clear of these areas when working
on or operating the McNeilus equipment.
Block and secure all applicable devices and
functions before beginning work or
operation. Failure to comply with this can
result in serious injury or death.
