S AFETY
Hydraulic
Safety
Precautions
When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or when purging is required, be aware
that the hydraulic oil within the machine system may be extremely hot and under
high pressure. Caution must be exercised. Any work carried out on the hydraulic
system must be performed in accordance with the machine manufacturer’s
approved maintenance instructions. Raven Industries recommends that
appropriate protective equipment be worn when working on the hydraulic system.
Objects or materials that are able to bypass the machine’s hydraulic filtration
system will adversely reduce performance and possibly damage the hydraulic
valves.
ElectricalSafety
Precautions
Do not reverse the power leads. Doing so will cause severe damage to the
equipment. Always check to make sure that the power leads are connected to the
right polarity as marked. Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be
connected.
Important: Hydraulics are under pressure. Never attempt to
open or work on a hydraulic system with the
equipment running. Care should always be taken when first
opening a system that was previously pressurized.
