General Safety Procedures
for Ventrac Power Units, Attachments, & Accessories
• If the fuel tank must be drained, it should be drained outdoors into an approved container.
• Check the fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.
• The fuel system is equipped with a shut-o valve. Shut o the fuel when transporting the machine to and
from the job, when parking the machine indoors, or when servicing the fuel system.
Hydraulic Safety
• Make sure the hydraulic connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and tubes are in good condition. Re-
pair any leaks and replace any damaged or deteriorated hoses or tubes before starting the machine.
• Hydraulic leaks can occur under high pressure. Hydraulic leaks require special care and attention.
• Use a piece of cardboard and a magnifying glass to locate suspected hydraulic leaks.
• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic uid. Hy-
draulic uid escaping under high pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury, leading to severe
complications and/or secondary infections if left untreated. If hydraulic uid is injected into the skin, seek
immediate medical attention no matter how minor the injury appears.
• The hydraulic system may contain stored energy. Before performing maintenance or repairs on the hydrau-
lic system, remove any attachments, engage the parking brake, disengage the weight transfer system (if
equipped), shut o the engine, and remove the ignition key. To relieve pressure on the auxiliary hydraulic
system, shut o the power unit engine and move the hydraulic control lever left and right before disconnect-
ing the auxiliary hydraulic quick couplers.
