SECTION 35 - HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS - CHAPTER 1
35-4
WARNING
Fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin, causing serious personal
injury. Always protect the skin and eyes from
escaping fluid under pressure.
Before disconnecting lines or fittings, be sure to
release all pressure by operating the tractor
control valves. Before applying pressure to the
system, be sure all connections are tight and that
hoses and connections are not damaged.
WARNING
When checking for oil leaks use a piece of
cardboard; DO NOT use your hand:
• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin causing serious injury.
• Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic of other lines.
• Tighten all line connections before applying
pressure.
• Check for leaks with a piece of cardboard.
• Protect hands and body from high-pressure
fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may
result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury
should reference a knowledgeable medical
source.
