form of feedback that verifies the commanded action occurred.

22. List at least three things to remember when dealing with hydraulic leaks. Be sure to include cleanup
precautions/operations in your answer.
ANSWER: Hydraulic oil from a running system may be hot enough to burn skin, so try to avoid direct contact
until you are sure it is safe. If a hydraulic oil puddle is uncontrolled, it can cover a much larger area
than you might think. There are special barrier and damming devices that can help to control large
spills. Leaks that generate an oil mist can also be a fire and breathing hazard. Most hydraulic oils
are stable and take a lot of heat to ignite, except when dispersed as a mist in the air. Cleaning up
hydraulic oil usually requires the use of some type of absorbing medium. You do not want to let
hydraulic oil go down any drains connected to the sewer system as it is a contaminant and will
wreak havoc at water treatment facilities or any natural waterways it might reach. When finished
with the cleanup, make sure you dispose of any oil and oil-soaked materials properly.
