Hydraulic Safety
1.
Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condition and are clean.
2.
Before applying pressure to the system, make sure all components are tight, and that lines, hoses and
couplings are not damaged.
3.
Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, fittings, or hoses by using tapes, clamps or
cements. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly and
create a hazardous and unsafe condition.
4.
Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a piece of
wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.
5.
If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin surface.
6.
Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before maintaining or working on system.
