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.
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;
otherwise, gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks;
never use your hands.
