Check Hydraulic Hoses
Check hydraulic hoses for leaks every 10 hours.
Pressurized fluid or air could pierce skin and cause severe
injury. Refer to operator’s manual for proper use.
270-6035
To help avoid injury:
•
Before disconnecting a hydraulic line, turn engine off and operate all controls to relieve pressure.
Lower, block, or support any raised component with a hoist. Cover connection with heavy cloth and
loosen connector nut slightly to relieve residual pressure. Catch all fluid in a container.
•
Before using system, check that all connections are tight and all lines are undamaged.
•
Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to search for leaks.
•
Wear protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection.
•
If you are injured, seek immediate medical attention from a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
