•If machine requires blocking up, use
blocking material of adequate strength and
in good condition. Blocks must be on a
smooth dry surface.
•Never place any part of your body under
blocked-up assemblies if at all possible.
•If welding or flame-cutting is required, be
sure no flammable materials are in the
area. Also, clear bystanders from area.
•After completing each assembly step,
review next step in procedure before
proceeding with that step.
•Neatly arrange parts and tools within easy
reach of work area.
•Openings in the skin and minor cuts are
susceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at
once. Without immediate medical
treatment, serious infection can occur.
•Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic
leak. Use a piece of wood or cardboard.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate the skin.
•Correct fluid leaks before using equipment.
