Liquids under high pressure
The following liquids are highly pressurized:
•Hydraulic oil
High-pressure fluids which leak under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury.
➢If you suspect that a pressure system may be
damaged, shut down and secure the machine
immediately and then contact a qualified specialist
workshop.
➢Never attempt to trace the source of leaks with your
bare hands. Even just a pin hole can cause serious
personal injuries.
➢Use suitable materials when searching for leaks. (for
example, a piece of cardboard)
➢Keep your body and face well away from leaks.
➢If a fluid penetrates the skin, it must be removed
immediately by a doctor who is familiar with such
injuries. Otherwise serious infections may result.
➢Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should
reference a knowledgeable medical source.
➢Prior to recommissioning, check the leak-tightness of
the hydraulic system!
Avoid heating near pressurized fluid lines
➢Do not cause heating near pressurized fluid lines by
welding, soldering or using a torch.
•Pressurized fluid lines can be cut through accidentally
if heat develops outside the immediate area of flame.
In addition, heating near pressurized fluid lines can
cause highly flammable mists to develop. If these
mists ignite they can cause serious burns.
