HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR USE AND CARE

• Do not modify the Hydraulic Reservoir in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment.
• Always check for damaged or worn-out parts before using the Hydraulic Reservoir. Broken parts will affect its operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
• NEVER USE YOUR HAND TO DETECT LEAKS!

CAUTION:READ and UNDERSTAND this information completely before using Hydraulic Reservoir. All operators of this equipment must read and completely understand all safety information and usage instructions. Failure to comply with this information could result in serious injury to the operator and bystanders or damage to equipment.

Do Not attempt to add more hydraulic fluid during operation to extend the hydraulic capacity. Ensure all components in the hydraulic system are appropriately sized and rated for the application.

Do Not touch the exterior of the reservoir. It can become hot during operation.

Check the hydraulic system (hoses, tubing, clamps/fittings, pump, and cylinders) carefully before each use. Do not operate the hydraulic system with frayed, kinked, cracked, or damaged hydraulic hoses, fittings, or tubing, or if the oily residue is observed on any of the components. High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in hydraulic equipment. Hydraulic fluid escaping through a pinhole-sized opening can burn or puncture the skin, resulting in wounds that could cause blood poisoning, infection, disability, gangrene, amputation, or death. Therefore, the following instructions should be heeded at all times when inspecting or servicing hydraulic equipment.

Always make sure the engine/motor is off before servicing the hydraulic system. In addition, disconnect spark plug/power supply and relieve system pressure before changing or adjusting hydraulic system components such as hoses, tubing, fittings, or other components.

Never remove the hydraulic fill cap while in operation. Hot oil can escape, causing severe burns. Allow the hydraulic system to cool completely before removing hydraulic oil fill cap.

NEVER check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by holding a piece of cardboard or wood (at least two feet long) with your hand at one end and passing the other end over the suspected area (wear eye protection). Look for discoloration of the cardboard or wood.

If injured by escaping fluid, no matter how small the wound is, see a doctor at once. A typical injection injury may be a small wound that does not look serious. However, severe infection or reaction can result if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately by a doctor who is familiar with injection injuries.
