2.1- Safety in the use of the hydraulic system

ƒ Make sure that all hydraulic system components are kept in good condition.
ƒ Immediately replace damaged, cut, crushed hoses.
ƒ Always relieve the system pressure before disconnecting a hydraulic hose.
ƒ Avoid physical contact with the hydraulic oil, it contains additives which, in some
situations, can be harmful to health.
ƒ Do not attempt improvised repairs on hydraulic fittings or hoses using adhesive tape,
staples, or cements. The hydraulic system operates under extreme pressure. Such
repairs will suddenly fail and create a dangerous and unsafe condition.
ƒ Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes and cause serious injury,
blindness or death. If injured by a high pressure hydraulic fluid flow, seek medical
attention immediately.
ƒ Wear eye protection goggles and appropriate gloves when researching for fluid leaks
from the hydraulic system. Never use bare hands.
ƒ All hoses and quick couplings should be inspected periodically for visible damage.
Hydraulic hoses may be worn, even if they do not show visible damage. Defective
hoses may cause personal injury or fire.
ƒ If hydraulic hoses are replaced, follow local regulations for correct disposal.
