High-Pressure Fluids
AVOID CONTACT WITH HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury.
The vehicle must be stopped and cooled before checking
fluids. Use caution when removing radiator caps, plugs,
grease fittings or pressure taps or fittings.
Never open pressure lines when they are under pressure.
Release all pressure before doing maintenance or repairs
on any pressure system.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure. Search for leaks
with a piece of wood or cardboard. Protect hands and
body from high pressure fluids.
Do not use your hands!
Never open hydraulic lines or fuel lines when they are
under pressure. Hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel under
pressure can cut the skin, cause severe burns, eye injury
or skin irritation.
If an accident does occur, get medical help immediately if
any personnel are injured by hydraulic fluid or fuel.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injur y should
reference a knowledgeable medical source.
Hydraulic Hoses
Important:
Hydraulic hoses have a long working live. By
weather influences and use under heavy conditions and
normal aging the working live will reduce.
There for is checking of hydraulic hoses by damaging
and aging important for good functioning of your machine
and the safety of the user and the environment.
Replace immediately damaged and leaking hydraulic
hoses.
Avoid Great Heat near Pressurised Fluid
Lines
Never create a source of heat by welding, soldering or
using a torch near pressurized fluid lines or other
flammable materials.
As heat goes beyond the immediate flame area,
pressurized fluid lines can so be accidentally cut.
Inflammable spatters can be caused by heat near
pressurized fluid lines, possibly resulting in severe burns.
