2.5- Safety in the use of the hydraulic system

ƒ Always relieve hydraulic system pressure before
connecting or disconnecting a hydraulic hose to
the tractor. Unintended movement of the machine
may result in a risk of serious injury;
ƒ Make sure that all hydraulic system components
are kept in good condition, periodically inspect
hoses and fittings.
ƒ Immediately replace damaged, cut, crushed hoses;
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 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.
