2.2.5 Safety and Health Measures when using Hydraulic Fluid
WARNINGS FOR HYDRAULIC-DRIVEN SYSTEMS
• Hydraulic fluid is hot when the machine has just come to a stop.
Allow the implement to cool down entirely before repairing the hydraulic system.
• Avoid contact with high-pressure fluid at all times. Liquid under high pressure quickly
penetrates clothing or skin, resulting in serious injuries.
• Prevent oil leakage or spillage to avoid the risk of slipping.
• Replace rubber and plastic hoses after six years with equivalent hoses.
• Changing the hydraulic system or using it for another purpose is forbidden.
Non-observance of the regulations, as mentioned above, is considered gross negligence. In this case, the supplier
is not liable for any damage.
Anyone working on installations where hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil, grease, or preservatives are used must
observe the following rules:
n Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
n Do not remove the protection sleeves from the hydraulic hoses.

EMCP Assembly & Operating Instructions - Page 8 of 36 - Version 1.0
n Avoid prolonged contact with the liquid on the skin. In the event of contact, carefully cleanse the skin. Wear
clothing that is free of this liquid. Also, be careful when eating and drinking during the operation.
n Avoid skin contact with liquids over 60°C or hot machine parts.
n Avoid eye contact; if this happens, cleanse with plenty of water and contact a doctor.
n Liquid storage must follow official guidelines; pay attention to fire extinguishers and emergency exits.
n Permanently remove spilled liquids immediately to prevent them from slipping.
n Hydraulic liquids should not get into the ground or in surface water.
n Avoid high-pressure fluids hazards. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing severe
injury.
n Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. The hydraulic systems operate
under extremely high pressure.
n Never try to stop leaks from the system by hand.
n Do not attempt makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, fittings, or hoses using tapes, clamps, or types of
cement. Such maintenance will fail suddenly and create a hazardous condition.
n Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, to check for suspected leaks.
n Have used liquids removed and recycled by specialized companies.
n If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Always treat any fluid injected into the skin within a few
hours.
WARNING!
• Read and understand all Safety measures and Warnings before operating or
adjusting.
• Untrained persons who have not thoroughly read and understood this manual might
never approach the machine.
• Refer to all safety decals in this manual. Please read all instructions noted on them.
2.3 ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR EMBANKMENT FLAIL MOWERS
n The operator should be familiar with all functions of the implement.
n Operate the implement from the driver’s seat only.
n Persons under 18 should NEVER operate or be near the verge mower during operation.
