4.12.4 Checking Hydraulic Hoses and Lines
Check hydraulic hoses and lines daily for signs of leaks.
Figure 4.241: Hydraulic Pressure Hazard
WARNING
• Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury.
• Keep your hands and body away from pinholes and nozzles
which can eject fluids under high pressure.
• Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines, and
tighten all connections before applying pressure.
• If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
type of injury, or gangrene may result.
Figure 4.242: Testing for Hydraulic Leaks
• Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.
IMPORTANT:
Keep hydraulic coupler tips and connectors clean. The
introduction of dust, dirt, water, or foreign material into a
hydraulic system is the major cause of damage. Do NOT attempt
to service hydraulic systems in the field.
