AVOID HEATING NEAR PRESSURIZED
LINES
Flammable spray can be generated by applying heat
near pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns
to yourself and bystanders. Do not heat by welding,
soldering, or using a torch near pressurized fluid lined
or other flammable materials.
Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when heat
goes beyond the immediate flame area. Install tempo-
rary fire resistant guards to protect hoses or other
materials when engaging in welding, soldering, etc.
AVOID TO HEAT LINES CONTAINING
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS
Do not weld or flame cut pipes or tubes that contain
flammable fluids.
Clean them thoroughly with nonflammable solvent be-
fore welding or flame cutting them.
BEWARE OF FLUIDS UNDER PRESSURE
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury.
Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before discon-
necting hydraulic or other lines.
Relieve the pressure by moving the control levers
several times.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Wear a shield or protection glasses to protect your
eyes.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard; take care
to protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this
type of injury immediately.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
