High temperatures decrease the useful life of the hydraulic oil, the hoses and
the seals in the equipment being powered. Very high temperatures can cause
burns, as shown on the previous page.
5. Mechanical parts – don’t allow items like clothing or tools close to the
accessory drive. Don't let items intrude into the fan at the front of the engine.
The engine develops nearly 300 foot pounds of torque while running, and
foreign objects can be drawn in with great power at rapid speed. Keep
foreign objects away from these areas.
6. Safety lockout – use a safety lockout device or disconnect the battery or
air when servicing the unit.
7. Lifting – use only the lift eyes provided. If the unit is full of hydraulic oil
the center of mass is approximately in the center of the forklift tubes. If the
unit is empty, the center of mass is still between the forklift tubes, but biased
to the motor end. Don’t use the top lifting eyes unless all bolts holding the
top to the frame are properly installed.
8. Fluid levels – Low hydraulic fluid level can cause overheating, or in
worst cases severe damage to the pump and even the associated tools it’s
driving. Keep fluid up to at least the minimum on the sight gage. Observe
the filtration monitor to be sure it’s operating in the green ( OK ) range.
Change the filter if it’s not.
9. Pressure leaks – High pressure fluid can cut as effectively as a knife. Oil
forced into your body will be harmful. NEVER check a leaking high
pressure line by putting your hands or fingers near the leak. Stop the unit,
bleed off any pressure as required before checking or fixing any high
pressure leakage.
