PRESSURIZED HYDRAULIC FLUID AND EQUIPMENT SAFETY
•
Only adequately trained and qualified persons should work on hydraulic systems. You may
be severely injured or killed by being crushed under a falling piece of equipment. Always
have transport locks in place and frame sufficiently blocked when working on any implement.
•
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to cause injury. Keep all
hoses and connections in good service condition. Failure to heed may result in serious
personal injury or death. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure
to penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting any lines or performing work on the system.
•
Make sure hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good
condition before applying pressure to the system. Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT
BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or
goggles when working with hydraulic systems. DO NOT DELAY! If an accident occurs, see a
doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin or eyes
must be treated within a few hours or infection may result.
•
Always secure equipment with solid supports before working on or under it. Never work under
equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are actuated,
hydraulic lines burst, or pressure is lost while disconnecting lines. Either situation can drop
machinery instantly even when power to hydraulics is off. Do not attempt to disconnect a
hydraulic cylinder or hose while the system is under pressure!
•
Check hydraulic hoses and fittings frequently. Brush and other debris can damage hoses and
fittings. Inspect and maintain equipment daily. Loose, broken, and missing hardware can
cause equipment to not perform properly and can result in bodily injury or death.
•
Hydraulic systems and oil can be hot and cause burns. Before working on any system, wait
until the oil has cooled.
•
Keep body and extremities away from areas such as pivot points and hydraulic cylinders.
Always secure equipment pivot points to assure they will not move when working on or near
them.
