Section 4 • SERVICE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Make sure the machine is locked out in accor-
dance with OSHA requirements.
Make sure that all precautions are taken to
support components before loosening or
removing bolts.
When working on any hydraulic connection
or part:
Be sure there is no pressure on fluid at the
location of the work.
Make sure nothing will move or drop when
loosening a connection.
Collect all the hydraulic
fluid which will drain
from the loosened con-
nection.
Use oil-dry or some
absorbent material to
soak up any fluid spills
to keep working sur-
faces from becoming
slippery.
Cover all open connections to prevent loss
and contamination to the hydraulic system.
When the hydraulic system has a problem or is
opened at any point, filters and fluid should be
replaced to prevent contamination or damage
to the system.
Take all fire prevention
safety measures before
using a welder or cutting
device, including grinders.
Have a fully charged fire
extinguisher near the loca-
tion of the work.
Be sure everyone involved in the mainte-
nance, service or repair process understands
what is being done and all of the safety pre-
cautions which need to be taken during the
procedure.
Make sure all lifting devices, chains, slings,
and hooks are in good
condition and have the
rated capacity to do the
job. Use guide lines when
necessary for control dur-
ing the lifting process.
Always wear proper pro-
tective clothing and equip-
ment when performing
service: gloves, safety
glasses, etc.
