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 preset
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.
Hydraulic fluid has a combustible flash point of 200°F (93°F). Do not
expose the fluid to an ignition source.
8.
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.
9.
Only use hydraulic fluid in the cylinder. Do not substitute or mix brake fluid
or any other fluid with the hydraulic fluid. This can result in a cylinder
failure and injure the user or bystander. It may also damage the cylinder.
