Pressurized Air and Water
Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris
and/or hot water to be blown out. This could result in
person
al injury.
When pressurized air and/or pressurized water is
used f
or cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective
shoes, and eye protection. Eye protection includes
goggles or a protective face shield.
The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes
must be below 205 kPa (30 psi). The maximum
wate
r pressure for cleaning purposes must be below
275kPa(40psi).
Fluid Penetration
Pres
sure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit long
after the engine has been stopped. The pressure can
cause hydraulic fluid or items such as pipe plugs to
esc
ape rapidly if the pressure is not relieved correctly.
Do not remove any hydraulic components or parts
unt
il pressure has been relieved or personal injury
may occur. Do not disassemble any hydraulic
components or parts until pressure has been relieved
or
personal injury may occur. Refer to the OEM
information for any procedures that are required to
relieve the hydraulic pressure.

Always use a board or cardboard when you check
for a leak. Leaking fluid that is under pressure can
penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause
serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can
cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your skin,
you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment
from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury.

ing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to
collect the fluid with suitable containers before open-
ing any compartment or disassembling any compo-
