Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technican or bystanders.
To prevent uintended movement, secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism while
servicing.
Warning
Flammable cleaning solvents
Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To eliminate the risk of fire, do not use cleaning solvents in an
area where a source of ignition may be present.
Warning
Fluid under pressure
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious
injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns. Use caution when dealing with
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or
components. Never use your hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek
medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.
Warning
Personal safety
Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses at all times.
Warning
Product safety
Steering valves are safety components and therefore it is extremely important that the greatest care is
taken when servicing these products. There is not much wear on a steering valve and therefore they
normally outlast the application they are built into. Therefore the only recommended service work on
steering valve is:
