▲WARNING !
Risk of personal injury! Wear safety glasses and use protective gloves.
Relieve all trapped pressure before performing any service to the hydraulic system. Pressure can be maintained in the hydraulic circuits long after the power source and pump have been shut down.
l Relieve all pressure before disconnecting hoses or tubes.
l Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
It is important that each person who comes in contact with the machine be alert to any faults.
Follow these basic precautions:
l Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other pressure-limiting device to a higher pressure than specified.
l Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged, and are routed to avoid chafing.
l Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that shows signs of swelling, wear, leaks or damage before it bursts.
l Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Do not use your hand to check for hydraulic oil leaks. Use a piece of cardboard. If skin penetration occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Relieve all pressure before disconnecting hoses.
l Do not bend or strike high-pressure lines, tubes or hoses, or reinstall them in a bent or damaged condition.
