2.12 Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
Vehicle hydraulic systems operate at high pressures,
some parts of the system are under pressure even
whilst the vehicle is shut down. Use caution when
working on the system and its components.
Compressed air is dangerous when misused, and
flexible hoses may whip when under pressure.
1. Before dismantling or breaking into an hydraulic
and pneumatic system, shut off the pressurised
supply at a remote point and then depressurise the
system.
2. When disconnecting hydraulic hose connections:
• Wear a full face visor while loosening the pipe
nuts.
• Cover the connection with a cloth while
loosening the pipe nuts to prevent pressurised
oil spraying from connection.
3. When working on the hydraulic and pneumatic
systems, it is important to ensure maximum
cleanliness:
4. Always clean the area around a connection before
dismantling a joint.
5. Plug any open connections as soon as possible.
6. Use only lint‑free cloths.
7. Wherever possible, avoid using compressed air for
cleaning components.
2.12.1 Returning the vehicle to service
1. At the end of any maintenance work and before
returning the vehicle to service, ensure that:
• All tools, parts materials and debris are
removed from the vehicle.
• Any protective guards removed for access are
replaced and correctly secured.
• The vehicle has completed a Daily Safety
Check as described in Chapter 3 of this manual.
