Do not disable safety devices
Your system may have active or passive safety devices installed to prevent system operation if the
device indicates an unsafe condition. Do not disable such devices as it may result in unexpected
system motion.
Use appropriately sized fuses
Whenever you replace fuses for the system or supply, ensure that you use a fuse that is appropriately
sized and correctly installed. Undersized or oversized fuses can result in cables that overheat and
fuses that explode. Either instance creates a fire hazard.
Provide adequate lighting
Ensure adequate lighting to minimize the chance of operation errors, equipment damage, and
personal injury.
Provide adequate ventilation
Make sure work and maintenance areas are adequately ventilated to minimize the risks associated
with the collection of hazardous fumes (such as vaporized hydraulic fluid). This is of special concern in
confined areas where hydraulic equipment is operating at high pressure in confined areas.
Provide means to access out-of-reach components
Make sure you can access system components that might be out of reach while standing on the floor.
For example, ladders or scaffolding might be required to reach load cell connectors on tall load units.
