Safety Precautions: Hydraulic Circuits

Ensure safety while working on hydraulic circuits by adhering to the following precautions:

• Depressurize hydraulic circuits before removal to prevent serious skin injuries from leaking oil.
• Label all parts, hoses, and pipes prior to disassembly.
• Avoid operating hydroelectric generators or motors without oil.
• Be cautious of scalding hazards when handling hot oil.
• Never heat oil above 160u00b0C (320u00b0F) to prevent risk of ignition from oil or vapors.
• Use lint-free cloths for wiping and cleaning hydraulic components.
• Apply hydraulic oil, rather than lubrication grease, during parts installation.
• Ensure bolts are clean before installation; flush and blow out hoses and pipes with air.
• Always use new gaskets during reassembly.
• After replacing hydraulic sets, flush the circuit and clean the hydraulic tank.
• Replace the oil filter element following work completion.
• Fill the hydraulic circuit with clean oil of the specified viscosity only when the engine is switched off.
• Clean up any spilled oil promptly.
• Verify that all connections are tight and free of leaks before pressurizing the system.
• Check all connections thoroughly upon completing the work.
• Avoid adjusting the relief valves unless necessary.
• Reinstall all protective components once work is finished.
