Check Hydraulic Hoses
Check hoses every 10 hours for wear or damage.
Replace as needed.
Fluid or air pressure could pierce skin and cause injury or
death. Stay away.
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.
•
Fluid leaks can be hard to detect. 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.
