HYDRAULIC SAFETY TIPS
MAINTAINING A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT
Establishing a safe work environment around your hydraulic equipment is paramount to safe and effective machine operation. The easiest and
most effective way to avoid problems is to make sure coworkers understand equipment, know how to operate safely and recognize the danger
represented if handled carelessly. A few things to be aware of:
1. Pressure: Hydraulic fl uid under pressure is dangerous and can cause serious injury.
2. Flammability: When ignited, some hydraulic fl uids can explode and/or cause fi res.
3. Mechanical: Hydraulic fl uid creates movement, which causes parts of your equipment to move or rotate. Always be aware of what you are
doing.
4. Moisture: Use caution when operating in wet or high moisture conditions. Make sure all electrical fi ttings, switches, cords plus stain reliefs
are in good condition. Always unplug when not in use and when doing any service work.
5. Electrical: Faulty wiring can also be an electrical hazard. A regular preventive maintenance program should always include a wiring check.
Unplug batteries and/or charger before servicing.
6. Temperature: Because this machine operates at a relatively low pressure, overheating is not common. If surface of tank becomes too hot
to touch by hand (above 130º F, 55° C), shut off machine and allow to cool off.
PRESSURE
Our system runs at or below 3,000 psi. Never look for a leak when unit is under pressure. Using your hand could cause serious injury. A few
common ways to encounter hydraulic fl uid under pressure include:
1. Pinhole: Fluid under pressure can cause serious injury. It can be almost invisible escaping from a pinhole and it can pierce the skin into
the body. Do not touch a pressurized hydraulic hose assembly with any part of your body. If fl uid punctures the skin, even if no pain is felt,
a serious emergency exists. Obtain medical assistance immediately. Failure to do so can result in loss of the injured part or death.
2. Leak: Keep fi ttings and hoses tight. Only check and service when not under pressure. Leaking hydraulic fl uid is not only unsightly, it’s
hazardous. In addition to making workplace fl oors slippery and dangerous, leaks also contaminate the environment. Before cleaning an oil
spill, always check EPA, state and local regulations.
3. Burst: Whether due to improper selection or damage, a ruptured hose can cause injury. If it bursts, a worker can be burned, cut, injected
or may slip and fall.

CAUTION:
NEVER USE YOUR HANDS TO CHECK FOR LEAKS OVER HOSE OR HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS. USE A PIECE OF
CARDBOARD TO LOCATE A PRESSURIZED LEAK. FOR LOW PRESSURE LEAKS (DRIPS), USE A RAG TO CLEAN THE AREA AND
DETERMINE WHERE THE LEAK ORIGINATES.
