HIGH PRESSURE FLUID HAZARDS
Figure 3.7 - Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury.
Always stop machine, allow to cool and relieve pressure before servicing
hydraulic system. Never open hydraulic lines under pressure. Make sure all
connections are tight and all hoses are in good condition before pressurizing
system.
Always use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for leaks instead of hand.
Wear impervious gloves and eye protection when servicing system.
Seek medical attention immediately if fluid penetrates your skin. Gangrene
may result if wound is left untreated.
Figure 3.7
AVOID HEATING NEAR HIGH PRESSURE FLUID LINES
Figure 3.8 - Flammable spray can be generated by heating near pressurized
fluid lines, resulting in burns to yourself and bystanders.
Do not heat by welding, soldering or using a torch near pressurized fluid
lines or other flammable materials.
Pressure lines can suddenly burst when heat goes beyond the immediate
flame area.

AVOID TOXIC FUMES & DUST
Figure 3.9 - Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated from
welding, soldering or using a torch.
Remove paint before heating:
•
Remove a minimum of 4 in (100mm) from area to be affected by
heating. If paint cannot be removed, wear an approved respirator while
heating or welding.
•
Avoid breathing dust from sanding or grinding on paint.
•
If a solvent or paint stripper is used, wash stripper away with soap and
water before heating or welding. Remove solvent or paint stripper
containers and other flammable material from area. Allow fumes to
disperse for at least 15 minutes before heating or welding.
Do not use chlorinated solvents in areas where welding will take place.
Perform all work in a well-ventilated area that willl carry all toxic fumes and
dust away.
