Check Hydraulic Hoses
Check all hydraulic hoses every 10 hours.
Fluid or air pressure could pierce skin and cause injury or death. Stay
away.
NOTICE: Escaping pressurized fluid can cause injury or pierce skin and poison.
•
Before disconnecting a hydraulic line, turn engine off and operate all controls to relieve pressure.
Lower, block, or support any raised component with a hoist. Cover connection with heavy cloth and
loosen connector nut slightly to relieve residual pressure. Catch all fluid in a container.
•
Before using system, check that all connections are tight and all lines are undamaged.

Fluid leaks can be hard to detect. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to search for
leaks.

Wear protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection.
If you are injured, seek immediate medical attention from a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
