HYDRAULIC PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Seek immediate medical attention if hydraulic fluid under pressure
penetrates your skin. See Injection Injury precautions for instructions
before using a pressurized hydraulic system.
1. Do not touch or handle hydraulic hoses or components while under pressure.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure has sufficient force to penetrate your
clothing and skin. A pinpoint hole may inject hydraulic fluid into your body.
Seek immediate medical attention if this occurs (see Injection Injury).
2. Never exceed the hydraulic system’s load capacity (see Specifications).
3. Do not adjust the hydraulic system’s relief setting. The settings are preset
by the factory.
4. Hydraulic oil under pressure is hot and can cause a burn injury if
touched, sprayed or spilled. Allow the hydraulic system to cool before
conducting maintenance.
5. Hydraulic components require regular inspection. Release all pressure
from the system before you inspect it. Replace damaged hydraulic parts
with identical manufacturer's components.
