1.0. Safety Measures
STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING DRIVE SHAFTS
Carelessness in the area of the rotating
drive shafts can result in serious injury or
even death.
Always ensure that all shaft protection
devices are fitted i.a.w. regulations and
that the universal-joint shaft sheath tubing
can turn freely. Wear close-fitting
clothing. Shut off the engine and wait until
all moving parts are at a standstill before
adjusting or cleaning as well as
connecting or disconnecting the PTO
–
driven machines.
EXERCISE CAUTION IN THE CASE OF LINE LEAKAGE
Leaking high-pressure fluids can
penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury.
The system must therefore be
depressurised before lines are
disconnected. Ensure that all line
connections are leak-proof before the
pressure builds up again in the system.
It is difficult to see hydraulic oil leaking
from a small opening. For this reason,
use a piece of cardboard when searching
for leaks. Protect the hands and body
from high-pressure fluids.
If any fluid penetrates the skin, this must
be immediately removed by a doctor who
has experience with this kind of injury.
Failure to seek medical attention can lead
to serious infection.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury
should reference a knowledgeable
medical source.
