2.6.1  Hydraulic System Safety

• 

Make sure that all the components in the hydraulic system 
are kept clean and in good condition.

• 

Make sure all components are tight, and that lines, hoses 
and couplings are not damaged before applying pressure to 
the system.

• 

Do not use a hand to check for hydraulic 
oil leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under 
pressure can penetrate the skin causing 
serious injury. Use a piece of cardboard. 

• 

Wear proper hand and eye protection 
when searching for a high-pressure 
hydraulic leak.

• 

Seek medical attention immediately if injured by a 
concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic fluid. 
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from 
hydraulic fluid piercing the skin surface. 

• 

Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, 
fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps or cements. Doing 
so can cause sudden failure and create a hazardous and 
unsafe condition. 

• 

Relieve pressure on the hydraulic system before working 
it. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high 
pressure.

• 

Replace any hydraulic hose immediately that shows signs 
of swelling, wear, leaks or damage before it bursts.

• 

Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or 
damaged and are routed to avoid chafing.

• 

Never adjust a pressure relief valve or other pressure-
limiting device to a higher pressure than specified.
