Safety Rules 8
MAINTENANCE (cont’d.)
• connecting equipment or hoses or performing
any hydraulic maintenance, purge any air in
hydraulic system by operating all hydraulic
functions several times. Do this before putting
into service or allowing anyone to approach
the equipment.
•
Route hydraulic hoses carefully to prevent
damage. Hoses must not be twisted, bent.
sharply, kinked, frayed, pinched, or come into
contact with any moving parts. Operate move-
able components thought full operational
range to check clearances. Replace any dam-
aged hose immediately.
•
Do not connect a low-pressure hydraulic hose
into a high-pressure system—it will burst the
hose. Do not use a high-pressure hose in
place of a low-pressure hose—it is possible to
rupture the valve.
•
Make sure that all operating and service per-
sonnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates
skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as
possible by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will
result.
