General Hazard Information
A “Do Not Operate” warning tag or similar
warning tag should be attached to the start switch
or controls before servicing or repairing the
machine.
Know the width of your equipment in order to
maintain proper clearance when you operate the
machine(s) near fences or boundary obstacles.
Be aware of high voltage power lines or buried
power cables. If the machine comes in contact
with these hazards, serious injury or death may
occur, from electrocution.
Wear a hard hat, protective glasses, and other
protective equipment, as required.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can
snag on controls or other parts of the machine.
Make sure all protective shields and covers are
secured in place on the machine.
Obey all local regulations for the disposal of
liquids.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the
machine
Unless you are instructed otherwise, perform
maintenance with the machines in the servicing
position. The operation and maintenance manual
will describe the proper position.
Never put maintenance fluids (hydraulic) into
glass containers. Drain all liquids into suitable
containers.
Trapped Pressure
Pressure can be trapped in a hydraulic system.
Releasing trapped pressure can cause sudden
movement of the machine. Use caution if you
disconnect hydraulic lines or fittings. High
pressure oil that is released, can cause a hose to
whip. High pressure oil that is released, can
cause oil to spray.
Fluid penetration can cause serious injury or
death.
Fluid Penetration
Pressure can be trapped in a hydraulic
system, long after the engine has been
stopped. The pressure can cause fluid or
fittings/ends to detach rapidly, if the pres-
sure is not released properly.
Do not remove any hydraulic components
until pressure has been relieve, or personal
injury may result. Do not disassemble any
hydraulic components or parts until the
pressure has been relieved, or personal
injury may occur.
Always use a board or protective shield
when you check for high pressure leaks.
Hydraulic fluid is under extreme pressure
and can cause serious injury and possible
death. A pin hole leak can cause severe
injury. If fluid is injected into your skin, you
must seek treatment immediately. Seek
treatment from a doctor that is familiar with
this type of injury.
Containing Fluid Spillage
Care should be taken to prevent spillage of
hydraulic fluids during maintenance, testing,
and repair of the machine. Prepare to collect
any fluid with suitable containers before
opening any system containing fluids.
Obey all local regulations for the disposal
of liquids.
Improperly disposing of waste fluids can
threaten the environment. Potentially
harmful fluids should be disposed of
according to local regulations.
Always use leakproof containers when
you drain fluids. Do not pour waste onto the
ground, or into any source of water.
