MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
7.8.2 Hydraulic Hoses and Lines
Check hydraulic hoses and lines daily for signs of leaks.
WARNING
• Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid
can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Relieve pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure. Keep hands and body away
from pin holes and nozzles which eject fluids
under high pressure.
• If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it must
be surgically removed within a few hours by
a doctor familiar with this type of injury or
gangrene may result.
Figure 7.73
• Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search
for leaks.
IMPORTANT
Keep hydraulic coupler tips and connectors clean.
Dust, dirt, water, and foreign material are the
major causes of hydraulic system damage. Do
NOT attempt to service hydraulic system in the
field. Precision fits require WHITE ROOM CARE
during overhaul.
