Very good that you brought up the danger with pressarized systems. Not to play with. It could be a little dot that almost that are not notified. Go directly to hospital even so.
There are videos here on RUclips that show what high pressure hydraulic fluid can do to flesh...it isn't pretty. I'm not a mechanic and almost never come near pressurized hydraulic systems, that I know of, so those videos had faded from my memory. Seeing this video with the reminder about what a person needs to watch out for around these systems has reawaken me to that fact. I mean it's not unheard of for me to be around vehicles with high pressure hydraulics sometimes.
eSPeeScotty, I will be posting another repair video in an hour or so. I cover some more hydraulic system dangers in it. Thanks for the comments and for following along. Also, thanks for the videos of some of the neatest and nicest big trucks that I've ever seen.
Thanks Jimmy, I'll be looking at that new video of yours soon. Thanks for the compliments and comments on my videos too. Since you are obviously a crane guy, I also have a few more crane videos you might like to see. I caught a Grove GMK 5275 a few years back rolling up and down some of our steep roads here in Arizona. Shaky hands and a non-HD camera made for some less than great videos, but it's all I had at the time. I'd try to put the links here, but that never seems to work for me. Anyway, keep up the good work and good videos.
Jeff Pratt that is very true. Complacency kills. There are lots of people who don't understand hydraulic systems and the potential dangers involved with them.
+Ken Gamble, every so often I'll do a crane repair video and throw some advice out. If one piece of advice keeps someone from being hurt, or helps them with their job, it would be worth it.
David McLean, when I was contemplating this channel I knew that I wanted it to be family friendly. Kids are very interested in large machines, so I wanted to make sure that kids of all ages could follow along. Also, some kids may see my channel and decide to pursue equipment operating as a career.
I assume you are covered by OSHA regulations. So do you need to be certified separately as an operator and maintenance technician? Does Tadano offer training classes?
Chris Rowland I am a certified crane operator, and have been a heavy equipment mechanic for 22 or so years. Tadano does offer training, but I have never been to their training program.
Do you put a vacuum on the hydraulic tank when you open the system? That's what I always did and it avoids a lot of messes. I have a air powered vacuum that I got from EXAIR but I've also used a shop vacuum. Most systems have a pressurized tank with a valve to release the air pressure. Connect a vacuum to that port and it will suck oil and air in from the hoses you disconnect instead of it leaking out. I didn't like using floor dry around hydraulic systems. Too much dust and dirt. Oil pads are cleaner and much easier to pick up.
Tired old mechanic, I have used a vacuum to keep fittings from leaking when removing them. I didn't on this one because we don't have compressed air in the building with the big cranes. I don't like using a shop vac for the risk of creating an explosive situation. The oil pads are a good tip! I'll keep some around. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍
I have a 100 tons banjole crane, it comes down a little when lifting and when the lifting stick is moved, it vibrates, it stops the landing, and it does not prove its position. The problem is the model 1975.
Neighbor lost three fingers on one hand in an oilfield accident. A few months later, he was working on his tractor, and got hydraulic fluid injected into two fingers on the other hand, lost them.
@@ToTheTopCrane thanks for the quick response! Great video btw! Quickly checked your channel and loving the content. Subscribed and waiting for the streams!
I really like the PSA at the end about high pressure. Your totally right.
Matthew Bunting, I thought I better give a little warning to those who may decide to do their own hydraulic repairs.

eSPeeScotty, I'll check them out! Shaky hands don't bother me.
Thanks for the heads up on the hydraulic line pressure it only takes a second to change the path of your life with something completely avoidable.
Jeff Pratt that is very true. Complacency kills. There are lots of people who don't understand hydraulic systems and the potential dangers involved with them.
When you work on your own equipment you know it's done right.
Lawn Commander sometimes that's the case. I've seen some that think they can fix something, and just make it worse.
Unless u fuck it
If i want to change setting...from boom to block...block to boom then i need to change position of the host?
how many have 100 ton crane in hydraulic pump
Good job and good advice ! ✔
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

Thanks for being "kid-friendly"

Why ATF and hydraulic fluid get mixed? I’m having komatsu 25ton mobile crane

Good video and good advice
R&N Lawn Care thank you. When crane work is slow, I'll probably throw in some repair videos with some advice here and there.
To The Top Crane o yea sounds good
Can you s
Teach your self to make a kydax holster for my Springfield mod 2 4” with tlr-6...
Cut and Clean TV, I sure can!

You carry some small wrenches around with you. Lol.
02pwrstrk one never knows when they may need to remove a tiny bolt. 😉

Jared J, that would be debilitating, losing fingers on both hands. A person has to be very cautious as to where they put their digits.
Good job
I use a RIDGID 31305 Model E-110 Hex Wrench, 9-1/2-inch Offset Hex Wrench
what type of crane is that?
Tadano 180G-5.
