1.0. Safety Measures
STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING DRIVE SHAFTS
Inattentiveness in the area of rotating
drive shafts can have serious, or even
fatal, consequences.
Keep all drive shaft guards in place at all
times. Make sure rotating shields can turn
freely. Wear close fitting clothing. Stop
the engine and make sure PTO shaft is
stopped before making adjustments,
connections, or cleaning out PTO-driven
equipment.
Avoid high-pressure fluids
High-pressure fluids which leak under
high pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury.
For this reason, always depressurize the
system before disconnecting lines.
Tighten all connections before applying
pressure.
Hydraulic oil escaping from a small leak is
virtually invisible, therefore search for
leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect
hands and body from high pressure
fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor
immediately. Any fluid injected into the
skin must be surgically removed within a
few hours or gangrene may result.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury
should check a reliable medical
reference.
