Avoid hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin.

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure may have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury. Foreign fluid injected into the skin must be surgi- cally removed within a few hours by a doctor, familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene may result.

Before applying pressure to hydraulic system, make sure all connections are tight and all hoses and lines are in good condition.

Relieve all pressure in the system before disconnecting or working on hydraulic lines.

To find a leak under pressure, use a piece of cardboard or wood – never use your hands.

To relieve all pressure in system, lower attachment and turn engine off.
