Hydraulic and mechanical energy
DANGER!
Danger from hydraulic and mechanical energies!
The hydraulic forces that are released and escaping hydraulic fluid can cause
severe injuries.
Therefore:
• Do not use damaged hose lines or appliances.
• Visually inspect hose assemblies and appliances after each use, but at least
once a year.
• Every three years, or if a doubt is raised about safety or reliability, a func-
tion and load test must also be carried out on the appliances (DGUV guide-
line 305-002 or country-specific regulations).
• Always keep appliances in sight while working and switch off if necessary.
• Do not kink hose lines (smallest bending radius 40mm), pull them over
edges and do not subject them to tensile stress or twisting.
• Protect the hose assembly from high temperatures and substances that
can cause damage to the outer layer.
(e.g.: Acids, alkalis or solvents)
• Replace hose lines every 10 years! The date (code letter or quarter and
year) is specified on the hose bonding.
• Avoid skin contact with the hydraulic oil (wear safety gloves).
• Remove hydraulic oil from wounds without delay and consult a doctor
immediately.
• Live parts can break off or be thrown away. Therefore, sufficient safety
distances must always be maintained. People may only stay in the danger
zone as long as necessary.
