Servicing the Hydraulic System
Warning - The hydraulic system works
under high pressure.
- Hydraulic oil escaping under high pressure can
penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. In the case
of injury, seek medical advice immediately.
- Avoid direct contact with hydraulic pipework which
may have become hot through prolonged operation.
Always allow sufficient time for hydraulic oil to cool.
- Check hydraulic lines regularly for any sign of leakage.
Do not tighten a leaking fitting whilst the hydraulic
system is pressurised. Always de-pressurise before
maintenance to hydraulic components.
- Ensure hoses are properly fitted, free from twisting
and clear of moving parts of machinery.
- Always replace hoses at first sign of damage.
- Avoid contamination and risk of fire by removing spilt
oil immediately
