Check lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Wear Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in order to check for
leaks. 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.
Replace the affected parts if any of the following conditions are present:
End fittings are damaged or leaking.
Outer coverings are chafed or cut.
Wires are exposed.
Outer coverings are swelling or ballooning.
Flexible parts of the hoses are kinked.
Outer covers have exposed embedded armoring.
End fittings are displaced.
Make sure that all clamps, guards, and heat shields are installed correctly. During machine operation, this
will help to prevent vibration, rubbing against other parts, excessive heat, and failure of lines, tubes and
hoses.
Do not operate a machine when a fire hazard exists. Repair any lines that are corroded, loose or damaged.
