All fluids should be stored inside sealed containers, or under a roof and on their sides to minimise entry of water and dirt. Caps and drums tops should be cleaned thoroughly before opening. Only clean hoses and containers should be utilised to transfer fluids from cans, drums or bulk storage areas to hydraulic reservoirs. These hoses should be equipped with proper filtration devices.
