Hydraulic fluid
WARNING
During operation of the forklift truck, hy-
draulic fluids are pressurised and are
hazardous to your health.
–
Do not spill these fluids!
–
Follow the statutory regulations
–
Do not allow the fluids to come into
contact with hot motor parts.
–
Do not allow to come into contact with
the skin.
–
Avoid inhaling the spray
–
Penetration of pressurised fluids into
the skin is particularly dangerous if
these fluids escape at high pressure
due to leaks in the hydraulic system.
In case of such injury, seek medical
advice immediately.
–
To avoid injury, use appropriate per-
sonal protective equipment (e.g. pro-
tective gloves, industrial goggles, skin
protection and skin care products).
ENVIRONMENT NOTE

Always store hydraulic fluid in containers com-
plying with the regulations.
Avoid spilling.
Spilt hydraulic fluid should be removed with
oil-binding agents at once and disposed of ac-
cording to the regulations.
Dispose of old hydraulic fluid according to reg-
ulations.
