What Should I do before before servicing ? |
lower hydraulically powered attachments to the ground, or support them on metal stands or blocks.
shut off the engine that powers the hydraulic pump.
move the hydraulic lever back and forth a few times to release pressure.
lock out levers and power switches so the hydraulic system cannot be started while someone is doing repairs.
let the hydraulic system cool down.
follow manufacturer's instructions. Servicing procedures vary from one hydraulic system to another.
Hydraulic fluid escaping through pinhole leaks is difficult to see but its high pressure can puncture your skin. Have a physician treat any hydraulic fluid skin punctures immediately.
Check for leaks by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected area.
Store hydraulic fluids away from sparks or flames.
Clean up spills immediately.
Do not smoke in autobody area.
