Don't expect an operator to stop a machine just because of a blown hydraulic hose (988B) had one one travel to me rather than call me up, drained most of the tank.
Lol. This reminds me of a conversation I had many years ago. Working on a government road job, a backhoe operator comes over to me and says
"I've broken one of the hoses off the four clamp thingys on the backhoe and it's leaking some oil on the floor".
Well, he obviously means one of the hydraclamp lines so I say " Yeah, it's just a 1/4 inch hose, it can only be a dribble. I'll come over when I've finished this job."
Twenty minutes later he comes over again and says "Can you come soon? The environmental inspectors are getting a bit antsy about it"
So I pack up the service truck and mosey on over to find an eight foot wide pool of hydraulic oil with six people shovelling the contents of three spill kits to try and keep it contained.
Says I "Why don't you stop the engine?"
