Additional Safety Instructions for Hydraulics
1.HYDRAULIC INJECTION HAZARDS. Be familiar with the hazards of hydraulic injec- tion injuries.
•Leaking hydraulic fluid may have enough pressure to penetrate skin. Never use your hands to check for suspected hydraulic leaks.
•Hydraulic fluid that is injected into skin is a medical emergency that may cause infection, disability, amputation or death.
•The average injection injury may be a small wound that has barely bro- ken the skin. DO NOT be fooled by this type of injury. Immediately get to an emergency medical facility!
•Minimizing the time between the injury and when the injected mate- rial is removed is critical to minimiz- ing the seriousness of the injury.
2.EYE PROTECTION. Safety glasses may not always protect your eyes from hot, pressurized fluid. The best way to protect yourself is to stay away from leaks until you can depressurize the system.
3.HYDRAULIC LEAKS. Stop the machine if you notice a hydraulic leak. Allowing the machine to continue running with a leak may increase the hazard of the situation and damage the machine.
4.CHECKING FOR LEAKS. Use a piece of cardboard to check for suspected hydrau- lic leaks. Pressurized hydraulic fluid may cause injection injuries and can be extreme- ly hot. Never use your hands to check for suspected hydraulic leaks.
5.DEPRESSURIZE FOR MAINTENANCE.
Depressurize the hydraulic system before attempting any maintenance or service. Stop the resaw, open the conveyor speed valves, and make sure the pressure gauge reads 0 PSI.
6.INSPECTIONS. Regularly inspect and per- form maintenance on the hydraulic system. A
7.CLEAN MAINTENANCE AREA. Make sure any hydraulic system maintenance is performed in a clean and
8.COMPONENT REPLACEMENT. Only use high pressure hydraulic hose and steel hydraulic fittings when replacing compo- nents in the hydraulic system. DO NOT use brass or aluminum.
