Checking the Hydraulic Lines

Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Check the hydraulic lines
for leaks, loose fittings, kinked lines,
loose mounting supports, wear, weather,
and chemical deterioration.
Every 1,500 hours—Replace all moving hydraulic
hoses.
WARNING
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.
