1.1.4 Personal Protective Equipment
1.1.4.1. Always wear protective equipment appropriate for risks associated with each phase of
the system’s life, including transportation, installation, assembly, operation, inspection,
maintenance, and dismantling, disabling, and scrapping. As a minimum, this includes the
following personal protective equipment:
• Safety Glasses • Protective/Traction Shoes
• Gloves • Welding/Grinding Protection
• Helmets • Thermal Protection (i.e. Coats)
• Hearing Protection
1.1.5 Hydraulic Oil Safety
1.1.5.1. See the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the oil used in your system for further
information about hydraulic oil safety.
1.1.5.2. In an accident involving high pressure equipment, hydraulic oil may be injected under
the skin. Such an accident may result in a small, sometimes bloodless, puncture wound.
However, due to the system’s driving force, material injected into a ngertip can be
deposited into the palm of the hand. Within 24 hours, there is usually a great deal of
swelling, discoloration, and intense throbbing pain. Immediate treatment at a surgical
emergency center is recommended.
1.1.5.3. Do not use high pressure systems in the vicinity of ames, sparks, and hot surfaces. Use
only in well ventilated areas.
1.1.5.4. Use only designated appropriate ll and drain ports for the oil.
1.2 Design / Installation Safety
1.2.1 Electric Components and Installation
1.2.1.1. KEITH recommends connecting to earth ground (whenever possible).
1.2.1.2. Wiring must be connected consistent with local codes and regulations, including
electromagnetic interference regulations.
1.2.1.3. Adequate electric overcurrent protection must be provided.
1.2.2 Hydraulics
1.2.2.1. Hydraulic piping and components must be constructed of materials that are rated for
system pressures, and must be installed with best industry practices. Follow all pipe,
tubing, tting, and hose manufacturer installation and routing guidelines.
1.2.2.2. Hydraulic piping should be supported and isolated from vibration. Contact KEITH for
recommendations on installation.
1.2.2.3. Place protective shrouds around the hydraulic tubing in any areas that may have
operators or people frequently nearby.
1.2.3 Controls
1.2.3.1. The control panel must be located such that it is easily accessible for all sizes and
capacities of people, and allows the operator to move freely (whenever applicable).
1.2.3.2. Control devices must be located outside of danger zones, such that any exposed persons
in danger zones are visible from the control station.
1.2.3.3. An acceptable means must be provided to monitor the status and movement of the load.
