Overview
Regular checks for leaks are essential for keeping the machine in service-
able condition. It is important to identify and repair leaks as soon as possible
to maintain proper machine operation and prevent slip and fall hazards, fire
danger, and environmental contamination.
Procedure
When checking for leaks, use a flashlight or other shielded light.
1. Thoroughly inspect for damage:
ð Check for cracks, dents, bends, or deformation of plates and welds.
ð Check for broken, loose, or missing parts, such as nuts, bolts, and
brackets.
ð Inspect all hydraulic hoses for signs of wear or cracks and replace if
needed.
ð Note: Hardware should be replaced with OEM parts and should be
tightened to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
2. Check for fuel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, and other leaks.
ð To locate a leak, pass a piece of cardboard, wood, or a mirror over
the area of the suspected leak.
3. Fix the leak before operating the machine.
4. Secure all caps and filler plugs for all systems to prevent leaks from
these areas.
