HYDRAULIC PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Seek immediate medical attention if hydraulic fluid under
pressure penetrates your skin. See Injection Injury precautions for
instructions before using a pressurized hydraulic system.
1. Do not touch or handle hydraulic hoses or components while under
pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure has sufficient force
to penetrate your clothing and skin. A pinpoint hole may inject
hydraulic fluid into your body. Seek immediate medical attention if
this occurs (see Injection Injury).
2. Never exceed the hydraulic system’s load capacity (see
Specifications).
3. Do not adjust the hydraulic system’s relief setting. The settings are
pre-set by the factory.
4. Hydraulic oil under pressure is hot and can cause a burn injury if
touched, sprayed or spilled. Allow the hydraulic system to cool before
conducting maintenance.
5. Hydraulic components require regular inspection. Release all pressure
from the system before you inspect it. Replace damaged hydraulic
parts with identical manufacturer's components.
6. Do not attempt makeshift repairs to a hydraulic system. Such repairs
can fail suddenly and create a hazardous condition.
7. A damaged or disconnected hydraulic hose under pressure may whip
around and inflict personal injury or damage the work area. Secure
the hose to a fixed or permanent structure with clamps or cable ties.
8. Hydraulic fluid has a combustible flash point of 200°F (93°F). Do not
expose the fluid to an ignition source.
9. Change your clothing immediately if sprayed with hydraulic fluid.
Store clothing or rags contaminated with hydraulic fluid in an
approved metal safety can with a spring-closing lid and venting
designed to contain a fire.
10. Only use hydraulic fluid in the pump. Do not substitute or mix brake
fluid, or any other fluid, with the hydraulic fluid. This can result in a pump
failure and injure the user or bystander. It may also damage the pump.
