Hydraulic Test Program - Hydraulic Oil Pump Test
Preparation for Test
CAUTION!
Risk of severe injury, ensure that no persons are within the deployment radius of the roll bar during testing and repair.
Fully extend the roll bar prior to performing any repair work. Keep body parts away from the roll bar deployment radius and its mechanism.
CAUTION!
Risk of severe injury, to eyes and skin from escaping high pressure hydraulic fluid spray.
Risk of poisoning due to consumption of hydraulic fluid.
Depressurize the hydraulic system prior to performing repair work
Wear protective clothing and safety goggles.
Possible Risks:
Risk of Severe Injury
When opening hydraulic lines prior to releasing hydraulic pressure due to extreme hydraulic system pressures (200bar), which can cause serious injury to skin and eyes. Skin injury is possible if hydraulic oil (which is especially injurious) is allowed to contact unprotected skin.
Risk of Poisoning
Poisoning symptons such as headache, dizziness, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps and loss of consciousness can occur due to the consumption of hydraulic fluid.
Protective measures/Conduct
- Depressurize the hydraulic system prior to starting repairs, if necessary drain the hydraulic fluid from the system.
- Do not fill hydraulic fluid into any liquid containers for dispensing liquids meant for human consumption.
- Vent the hydraulic system properly.
- Limit the access of hydraulic fluid to authorized persons only.
- Disconnected lines and hoses must be plugged with plugs immediately.
- Wear proctive gloves, clothing and goggles.
If protective gloves can not be worn, follow the following points:
- Allow as brief as possible contact between skin and hydraulic fluid, clean any contaminated skin with soap and water.
- Remove any contaminated clothing immediately.
First Aid Measures
Call Local Poison Control Center and advise of any consumption of hydraulic fluid.
Call doctor and Poison Control Center if large amount of hydraulic fluid has been consumed.
If hydraulic fluid has been sprayed into the eyes, wash eyes with liberal amounts of clean water using an eye wash system/kit.
If person has been struck with an hydraulic spray to the skin or eyes, perform a doctor visit or hospital visit for close examination of the affected area.
