Checking the Hydraulic Lines

Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the
hydraulic lines for leaks, loose
fittings, kinked lines, loose mounting
supports, wear, weather, and chemical
deterioration. (Make necessary
repairs before operating.)
Every 1,500 hours/Every 2 years
(whichever comes first)—Replace all
moving hydraulic hoses.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within
a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form
of injury or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin
hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
