Hydraulic Devices and Systems
draulic fluid escaping under pressure may have sufficient force
to penetrate skin and to cause serious injury. If foreign fluid is
injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene
may result.
WARNING: Keep body and hands away from
pinholes or nozzles that could eject hydraulic fluid
under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not
hands, to search for leaks!
e all pressure in the system before performing any
work on the system, and make sure that:
The key is removed
The engine spark plug wire(s) removed
All connections to the negative terminal of the battery are
removed
The park brake is set
All by-pass valves, if so equipped, are open
lic controls are actuated to release pressure on
pumps, cylinders, etc. If “float” positions are available, they
should be used.
After the above operations are completed, it should be safe to
begin disconnecting the lines or components. It is still a good
idea to cover the connection with a cloth shield and then gently
loosen connections.
WARNING: Make sure all hydraulic fluid
connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and
lines are in good condition before applying pressure
to the system.
Service
Safe Handling of Gasoline:
To av oid personal injury or property damage use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive.
personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on
yourself or your clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin
and change clothes immediately.
Use only an approved gasoline container.a.
To prevent static discharge, never fill containers b.
inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a
plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment c.
from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on
a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
