General Safety Procedures

for Ventrac Power Units, Attachments, & Accessories

• 

Do not overfill fuel tank. Only fill to bottom of fuel neck, do not fill fuel neck full. Overfilling of fuel tank could 

result in engine flooding, fuel leakage from the tank, and/or damage to the emissions control system.

•  If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the power unit away from the fuel spill and 

avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

•  If the fuel tank must be drained, it should be drained outdoors into an approved container.

• 

Dispose of all fluids in accordance with local laws.

•  Check all fuel lines for tightness and wear on a regular basis. Tighten or repair them as needed.

•  The fuel system is equipped with a shut-off valve. Shut off 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 all hydraulic connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and tubes are in good condition. 

Repair 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 sus-

pected hydraulic leaks.

•  Keep body and hands away from pinhole leaks 

or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. 

Hydraulic fluid escaping under high pressure can 

penetrate the skin causing serious injury, leading to 

severe complications and/or secondary infections 

if left untreated. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the 

skin, seek immediate medical attention no matter 

how minor the injury appears.

•  Hydraulic system may contain stored energy. Before performing maintenance or repairs on the hydraulic 

system, remove attachments, engage parking brake, disengage weight transfer system (if equipped), shut 

off engine, and remove ignition key. To relieve pressure on the auxiliary hydraulic system, shut off the power 

unit engine and move the secondary S.D.L.A. lever left and right before disconnecting the auxiliary hydraulic 

quick couplers.

• 

Dispose of all fluids in accordance with local laws.
