7.7.4 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.
 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.
